Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Those are definite shoes of whimsy.

So these sweat rags...they don't fall off? I guess you only apply them (if you're not a poseur) after the exercise?

I think I preferred towels and rags in the back pocket.

something The Manolo likes. Silly.

Those are something my crazy russian neighbor would wear. She's very....odd. Probably mid-fifties, long salt &pepper hair. She tends to hang out behind her apartment in not-quite-appropriate outfits, a common one being a short-short silky robe and fuzzy high heeled mules. Or those clear plastic high heeled mules. And she's always going on and on and on in Russian. For a while, I figured she must be talking on the phone. Nope. She's just ranting in russian to the air. She can be a little unnerving, especially when she starts to wander or glares at you.

FOR THE LAST TIME, I DON'T MAKE POLICY, **** DOES. Ahrg.

ita, I don't think I've seen them. I guess originally they were laid over the head and stuck with sweat and the person not moving much, since they'd done their exercise. And, if you're a poseur and don't move much to start with, I guess you rely on inertia.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I need to find strappy green sandals to wear in my sister's wedding. All the world is wedgies right now. They didn't even look good on Chrissy & Janet, dammit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Do they look good with crop pants? Maybe that explains it.

These wedges look very nice. I had to rethink my position on wedges after I saw them. So I did and then I bought them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy Birthday, Hec!

Do people seriously wear sweaty washcloths on their heads as a fashion statement? Seriously? Because I'm trying to think what kind of statement that makes, and it just doesn't sound all that flattering to the wearer.

I think I missed the stappy sandal moment entirely. Kinda sad that. I like strappy sandals, I just don't have a good reason to wear them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I guess Givhan has her pants in a twist not about do rags, but literally wearing a towel over one's head. [link]

Now, I wouldn't be among the people who crow "shouldn't more important things be given space in a premier newspaper?" but is this really a fashion problem?

Don't get me started on the bullshit about flip-flops. Fuck that, I don't want to wear socks in the summer.

Trudy, actually, the silly shoes I linked to above also come in green. I imagine the mariboy puffs could be removed (a maribou-ectomy?).
