    Re: Ungaro: Hmm. Does that mean at some point in time, I might actually be able to afford one of the dresses from Lindsay's collection? Because I liked four of them a lot, which probably means that I have zero taste. #lindsaylohanungaro

    That Anthropologie is highly profitable does not surprise me. They carry the same made-in-a-faraway-sweatshop level of quality as Urban Outfitters(aka, very low quality), but at a much, much higher price point. Quite brilliant, really.

    @NoelleBlue: I got a gorgeously overpriced set of glazed pottery measuring cups there that I adore. I practically opened my wallet and asked them to take out the amount they felt was fair. Hypnotized, I also signed up for their frequent shopper thingy, even though "frequent" and "Anthropologie" won't be mentioned in the same breath in my house very often. #lindsaylohanungaro

    Have any of you ever had those dreams where your body's suddenly bulbous? Your limbs are too big, pieces are becoming increasingly disproportionate ... scary as hell, basically.

    That's what the McQueen/GaGa shoes remind me of. #ragtrade

    Hmm, does the foot sit on top of a giant platform, or is the sole of your foot toward the bottom of the shoe, with most of the bulk on top?

    The foot is positioned inside the bulb just like it would be in a normal heel. I assume it felt like walking in REALLY high platforms.

    My husband is french and we've never really had any issues about one of us doing more than the other (I cook more, he cleans more, works for me!)...
    but I doubt it's because of his nationality. It's because he grew up with a kick-ass mum and sisters, perhaps. Or the fact that he moved overseas straight after school and had to clean up after his own ass. Or maybe, he just respects me??
    These kind of nationality-based "studies" kinda annoy me because it reduces personality to a bunch of vaguely racist generalisations.

    I have to say some of my English boyfriends were far more house proud than me. One even picked up the gown I had quickly stepped out of and carefully draped it over a sofa after I had blithely flung it onto the bedroom floor. Fortunately he was a lot less fastidious when it came to sex.

    The man of my house is a son of a bitch. He just naps all day while I bust my ass to bring home the snausages. Then he sheds all over the place, drinks all night and sits on the remote. However, he does at least help clean dishes and the table at night (granted, with his tongue).
    So at least he's better than an Australian.

    In our defense, if our plan is to flip our house in two years, and 60% of our meals consist of Ruby Tuesday fried onion balls, and the flatscreen we bought on credit in lieu of paying off our student loans obscures the kitchen, what's the point of doing housework?
