Actor Nicolas Cage was spotted in Los Angeles with girlfriend Erika Koike (whom The Daily Mail describes as a woman “thought to be a make-up artist”) wearing four items of clothing he appears to have stolen out of my closet while I wasn’t looking.
There are the black slacks I bought on sale assuming they were slim-fit only to discover they were comically loose-fitting, nonrefundable, and (for me, at least) unwearable. The buckle loafers I bought two hours before an out-of-town wedding from the one shoe store that was open nearby after realizing I forgot to pack a pair of black shoes. The black button-down I bought on sale years ago because under the assumption that I’d one day need to wear a black button-down (such a day never came up). And then there’s the blazer that showed up to my door two days after a rude guest screamed, “ALEXA, BUY BOBBY THE MOST HILARIOUS PIECE OF OUTERWEAR FOR SALE ON AMAZON,” during a recent houseparty.
I’m more than a little annoyed by the home invasion, but am sort of thrilled to finally be unburdened by these pieces. It’s nice to know they’re not being wasted!
