Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Um, check the ingredient list?
Let me refer you to the definition of "simple". I was kinda going for "not involved or complicated".

Ooh! That reminds me, last night on the radio the DJ claimed that someone on ebay was selling unicorn poop. The description said that scientific analysis would show it to be cat scat with drugstore glitter on it and epoxy, but that's just because scientists don't believe in magic. Karma was mentioned as well. Top bid at the time was around $500.

Is the key to shrunken the not closing in front?
That's part of it, but the shrunken jackets I've seen also have smaller-than-usual lapels, and are are barely waist-length.

I have so many issues with clothes, trendy is the least of my worries. But it can surprise me.
Maybe the shrunken jackets can be spun in my favor. Since I put on a bit of weight, my normal clothes don't fit quite right....
Why must my cousin get married in Sioux Falls? Why can't it be the farm or Minneapolis? SF is a bitch to get to (especially since I will not be thwarted by O'hare.) I'll have to see if I can just go to Mnpls and hitch a ride out with relatives. Oy.
Her save-the-date notice was pretty dang cool though. It is like one of those code wheels, in dark federal blue. You turn the wheel to see the words through a window. The words layer is a copper/bronze silkscreen old-wallpaper thing and on the front there is a more translucent screening in the same color, with their names in a gothicy script. It's cool. And it is a magnet!

Huh. I'm so fashion trend oblivious these days.
This may have something to do with everyone I see on a regular basis being over 30 or under 5.

is there a simple way to find out which bath bombs glitter
Lush used to put the little yellow "warning" triangle on the ones with glitter but a quick perusal says that they don't any longer. Darn!

Nifty!
For what it's worth, I kind of like the shrunken jackets. Though not all of them, by a long shot. I have a pink one that is corduroy, and buttons up the front. It's fun.

What is even happening?
Cindy, you can't propose something when something else is on the table. That being said, SECONDED.You're a woman with priorities, Aimee. Also,
I kinda like the shrunken look. I can wear my pre-pregnancy stuff that is still way to small and look in style.
Heh. That's what I keep thinking, although since my "baby" is turning 5 a week from Sunday, I am thinking I can't so much blame the pregnancy.

I think the sleeves on the jackets are shorter too, aren't they? That foils my plan of subbing in my skinny clothes for "fashion".

Somewhere in this city is a xhosa language class. That's one of the african clicking languages. That's kinda cool. It's taught by a white Afrikaaner who was raised bilingual/cultural xhosa/english during apartheid.
(I love local public radio programming. It can be so random. Up next: the dialect coaches from The Wire who get the cast to speak proper Bawlmerese.)
