C'mon Arkansas. You haven't been good this season but remember that time you beat Auburn! You can do it, you can beat a #17 team! You can win the boot! Wooooo pig sooie!
@lalaland13: Holy crap, I cannot take this. LSU just kicked a field goal, the game is going to go into overtime, and I can't watch! Though I love my grandmother dearly, the fact that she doesn't have cable is KILLING me right now.
@ab33: Ack that would suck. I kind of just want to lay down and take a nap, but I've been doing that a lot lately (finishing up a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection).
I feel like I need to send everyone in Hollywood a care package of condoms and dental dams after seeing image #17. I'm not saying I'm a saint, but seeing it all in print gives one the heebeegeebies (and maybe the clap). #bradpittmotorcycleaccident
After studying/nannying in France for a year, I realized I'd never be as cool as my five-year-old charge who wore navy blue highwater pants and carried a leather satchel--and spoke a pidgin of four languages. Thanks to America for encouraging the mediocrity that are Levis and really bad language skills.
Is it sad that I (at 32) want to be a 5 yr old French kid? Preferably wearing the red pants in #17. #milkmagazine
Wow. just... wow. It is a collection, and it is cohesive, but I'm not sure it it's wearable unless GaGa is your second name... That being said, I do kind of enjoy how the purse in #17 looks a bit like a football - it goes nicely with the linebacker-esque shoulders created by the boustier-cum-sweatshirt.
I hadn't realized she was only 26 when she died. I find that really upsetting for some reason.
One of the strange things about hitting the big 3-0 is looking back at all of the celebrities that died young - Sharon Tate, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix, etc. - and just realizing how very YOUNG they all were. When I was a teenager, someone in their 20s seemed quite adult to me, but now I look and I just think how young those people all were, and what a waste it all has been.
This woman was BEAUTIFUL! She will forever be one of the prettiest things that have walked this earth and her death is a travesty. I understand the idea of class wars, but the explanation given for murdering this woman in such a way is revolting and while I do look at her as a style icon, to not recognize the torture thrusted upon her is even a bigger travesty.
@bluebears: Yeah, but maybe we're the ones exploiting it by thinking of her that way when they're attempting not to. I like the idea of paying tribute to her separate of the incident. Seems she would have much preferred this legacy.
@pele tiger: I hear what you're saying. I don't know though, how much we'd remember her as a "style icon" if not for Manson. I mean Anita Pallenberg was a 60s style icon or Edie Sedgwick. You know? I mean, I'm not saying this is "wrong" I'm just saying its troubling.
@bluebears: Edie was a style icon w/ a tragic life story. Anita was part of the Rolling Stones story (mixed w/ tragedy) Sharon Tate, like Talitha Getty, was definitely a style icon. Lordy, Sharon also inspired Malibu Barbie!
Oh, Dodai, you totally took me back to the doomed summer of my semiotics class. And let me tell you, don't ever try doing this with Lost Highway.
Anyway, I'm still confused by the confluence of Candie's shoes and polo playing. That said, I'm totally entranced by the delicate, hold-it-like-a-cup-of-tea way in which she's grabbing the binoculars in #17
This is why I'm slowly (as funds allow) morphing most of my wardrobe into dresses. Dress = wake up, put on, go. The days I take forever to get ready are the ones where I really want to wear that shirt, but the only pants that match it are dirty...oh, wait, I love this skirt! What shirt, what shirt...ummmmmmm...ooh! Oh damn, when did this lose a button? Ummmmmmm...
@cactuswren: This. I try to do dresses as much as possible. Otherwise, it's, "oh, fuck, when did my boobs start having to wrastle each other under this top?...uh, what's the deal with the muffin top over this skirt?" So tiresome.
@cactuswren: That is such an excellent point. I need to purchase more dresses. Right now, the only ones I have are either totally too fancy or totally too skimpy for work.
@cactuswren: See, but with dresses then you arrive at the pantyhose with runs in them/ noticeably unshaven legs problem. And doing a quick over-the-sink shave early in the morning never goes well for me.
I try to minimize time spent thinking about clothes by planning out what to wear the night before. The BF knows not to talk to me when I'm lying in bed and looking like I'm concentrating really hard. However, I could be sleeping during this time, so my system is not flawless.
@HuckleberryFriend: I do this while I wash the dinner dishes. (I live alone, so it's always my chore.) It works out well, except when I eat out. Or drink heavily.
@HuckleberryFriend: I actually lay out my clothes the night before, so that in the morning I can just grab the bundle of clothes and head to the shower. It really minimizes morning confusion.
I'm gonna go ahead and admit that I take a TON of time to get ready in the morning and I try on outfit after outfit and it is deeply rooted in insecurity, not in practicality or fantasy. I try this on--think i look fat. or too boring. or too casual. or too mature. or too immature.
I blame wearing a uniform to school from grade 6-12. Oh I miss those wonderful wonderful days. I would happily revert to a world where on workdays, we all get up and put on a plaid skirt, navy socks, mary janes, and a big baggy button up shirt. And I DO love clothes--but I would love to not have to worry about them every single day.
The biggest clothes horses I know wore school uniforms. They're also into accessories with a passion that frightens me (I guess that socks and headbands were their only means of self-expression at school).
However, after working my current office job a few years, I am actually dangerously close to having a uniform of my own: black pants (I own 1 pair) and one of 5 different v-neck, 3/4 sleeve shirts. In the winter I will add a sweater to this. Getting dressed takes less time than making coffee, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
True story: I really don't spend a lot of time figuring out what to wear, however there is this soccer game coming up and I cannot decide what color t-shirt to wear. I've been thinking about this for weeks!
Should I wear my country's colors, my favorite team's, colors, a neutral color? Why am I worried about this and not what I am going to wear to a management meeting or the gym?

I wear a potato sack, though, so that frees up some time.
