Where I live, the taxidermy is not ironic. I'll leave you all to contemplate that horror.

Now I'll just have to wonder if they are going to airbrush Bambi and give other little deer unrealistic expectations.

@girlyQ: God, taxidermy... It's not ironic where I am either (weekend warrior hunter types abound) and I've got to admit that I'm kind of fascinated by it. It's just so weird to want preserved dead animals in your house in 'action poses'!

Now if they would just get rid of Carmindy, things would be great at What Not to Wear.

Nooo, don't go Nick. I'll miss your Manchester accent and overly product-laden curly hair.

Also: Will someone just put Crocs out of their misery already? They need to do the decent thing and head off to Switzerland and an assisted suicide clinic. I volunteer to do the assisting. It's the right decision for everybody.

@PrairieGirl: I've been plotting murder on Crocs since they hit the market. They are great for children, I'll admit, but other than that - NO.

I was shocked to find they are very popular in southern Germany. Relief came when I learned they are used for garden shoes. I was puzzled in the meantime - I had not seen one adult in them on the street, yet they were available in every store.

Salamino, who taught second grade, was fired after her relationship with Walter, by whom she has a child, was discovered.

I hate jeans because they're really, really, really hard to find in my size and length. They were agonizingly difficult to find for less than $150 when I was thinner, and they are even more scarce now. Mail-order can only do so much.

Granted, I'm working on losing a few pounds so I can get back into the few threadbare jeans that once fit me without looking like uber-short wader capris. But seriously, they're just not all that forgiving if you fall significantly outside the "standard" for most human females (read: I have a 36" inseam and hips from here to Armageddon.)

I kind of want to learn to make my own clothes.

@tscheese: Being pocket-sized with hips for days ain't so great either. I hate special ordering shit online.

That said, clothing manufacturers: Some ladies have hips, a bounty of them in fact. Please design accordingly. kthxbai.

I'd always like to wear better clothes than jeans all the time, and be more like my hero and heroine, Lord Whimsy and Lady P. ([www.lordwhimsy.com]) but I always find it harder than it should be. I think I need to train myself to shop differently, or something. I've just been so trained to automatically think "jeans then shirt" in the morning it just HAPPENS.

Also shoes. My feet are not only so tiny I have a hard time finding shoes that are in my size (size 5 - I could use Narrow but nobody NOBODY makes narrow shoes anymore, not even naturalizer) and my feet are so sensitive I can't be standing in heels for more than 40 minutes before I'm ready to chew my feet off. And that's 40 minutes cumulative, not all at once. I can't even buy a nice pair of ballet flats because my feet are so skinny, the way they make them now they fall right off my feet when I walk.

I don't really know where I was going with this before it turned into a tirade. I guess the point is I agree that it would be nice to dress better more often, but I fail at it.

@jianna: Try Ferragamo or Belgian shoes for narrow sizes. From thrift stores, obviously! Otherwise those labels will run you hundreds. But they actually do a good job with the AA, AAA, and even AAAA sizes.

I don't get the recent spate of denim hatred among the fashun-people. I wear them all the time. Mine are well-made, expensive ones, mostly remnants of my days of solvency. The most recent ones I acquired are Joe's brand, and I am in fact wearing them today. They're really soft and summery, and ankle length so I can wear them in hot weather as I pretty much loathe shorts. Jeans are versatile and can be dressed up or not, and if you find a brand that fits, you can pretty much wear them till they fall apart.
