    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

    I'm starting to really feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. Her life is just unravelling slowly in such a painful way, I just want to giver her a hug and tell her it will be OK. It's bad enough to have one infantile and moronic parent, but having two? If only Drew Barrymore was her been-there-done that influential and wise big sister. #lindsaylohanungaro

    I love shoes with a passion and have been known to buy expensive pairs solely for the artistry and craftsmanship. But these McQueen shoes not only don't appeal to me at all, they actually generate a visceral anger that I can't quite explain. I wonder if I am alone in my hostility? #ragtrade

    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?

    @Mary McCarthyite: Okay, here is my guess....

    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.

    Tom Ford and my former best-friend in college are apparently two petits pois in a pod.

    She too was a raging francofile before she embarked on a junior-year study-abroad adventure in France. But her experience in the olde country traumatized her to no end. She loathed how narrow the roads were, how cramped the apartments were, she hated that French people smoked everywhere, she hated how university courses were held in huge halls with amphitheater seating, she hated, hated, hated everything with incandescent fury. One of her major peeves, as I recall, was that people wouldn't obsessively brush their teeth after a meal. I believe she had a nervous breakdown once when she went on a dinner date with a French boy who ate garickly snails, smoked a cigarette and then attempted to kiss her.

    A bit of-thread, I guess, but maybe somewhat educational to francofiles who expect La Patrie to be this endless field of lavender blossoms where attractive people bounce around and frolic with unicorns. #aliciakeys

    @BlondeGoddess: I was merely recounting a tale of An American in Paris, as it was passed down to me. In my personal experience on the terrain, many of these things are true, but not bothersome. Au contraire, they're charming to me and just part of what makes France France and the French French. Though I'm European-born to begin with and would never imagine that living in France resembles a chapter from "A Movable Feast."

    I guess I was trying to illustrate by way of anecdote that many Americans often have this fantasy mental landscape of France beforehand, and then get disillusioned when the reality doesn't match it. I obviously failed.
