Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Really?!?! I didn't know they ever did that. Not sure if I want to catch that episode. Sounds like a train wreak.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

She decided to keep the new wardrobe because she didn't want to disappoint her daughters. And it seems to have worked out okay, but man, I've never seen anyone made that unhappy by pretty clothes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I really liked the woman with leg braces last week. She seemed smart and game to try new things even though she was battling a lot of body image demons.

I just saw that What Not to Wear episode this morning and I wanted to smack that woman repeatedly with some of those hideous pink pants. Stacy and Clinton have way more patience than I would have. That said, I didn't think she really looked all that great in any of the new clothes, but I think that's just because they could never get a read on what her style goals were beyond "Don't look old" which, you know, not really a style.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I try to watch it every once in a while, but I just get so angry. I want that done for me, but, you know, without the trauma. I am trying to improve my wardrobe, but every time I step more conservative, I get all miserable and cranky. I need to figure out a way to make my existing wardrobe more flattering.

I bought a fabulous dress at the Ann Taylor outlet, though. It's b/w stripey, but looks like a normal person's dress. Okay, well, it looks like a very unusual normal person's dress. But I love it. And I got a pair of cargo pants for 7 dollars. I need to go back and see if I can buy out the rest of their stock in my size, because honestly, that's what I wear.

A friend of mine is in the Style for Hire network and has met Stacy and Carmindy and Ted Gibson and I am always trying to convince her that they should just do a show called What to Wear for people who just want to add more fabulosity to their wardrobes but don't necessarily need to ditch everything about their old looks. And of course, make me the first guest on the show because . . . free clothes!

The What Not To Wear shows bug me, go figure. Plus, a friend of mine was on one of them, and right about the time that the hosts tossed her Fluevog boots and the black & red metalflake glitter vinyl corset (that she had purchased from me) was when I kinda had a rage black-out.

Do those shows really throw away the things they tell people to get rid of? Tell me they at least donate them to thrift stores or something. YOU DO NOT THROW AWAY FLUEVOGS, G-D DAMMIT.

Thank goodness.

And they let people go back and claim stuff we see them "throw out."
