Some Girls

Zac Posen now has a cheapie line at Target so I cruised over there early sunday morning to check it out and guess what I found?

Mean Girls.

There were three of them and they had the racks completely surrounded, doing that elbow thing to keep anyone else from getting a look at the clothes. And then they piled three sizes of each item into a cart and rolled it over to the dressing rooms where they actually took turns guarding the cart while the others tried everything on.

I didn't stick around to find out, but I'm guessing they plopped all of their leftovers back in the cart and left it outside the dressing room when they were done. Didn't seem like the types to rehang anything, much less drag them out and put them back on the racks.

Le Sigh.

On the way home I thought for a while that maybe I'd just give up on the Bay Area and move to a place where this kind of rude nonsense doesn't happen...but where is that exactly?

The real kicker was that the clothes were actually really ugly (no offense to Mr. Posen) and I felt a little better knowing that those girls were going to be out on the town in those tacky clothes thinking they were super cool amazing shoppers and that they looked really fabu in their new designer clothes.

Isaac Mizrahi was the first, and the only one to do it right.

What a world what a world.

Beast of Burden

I have this idea that if my life was really on track I would have a helper dude and he would do stuff for me. I like to think his name would be Jimmy, that's a nice guy name right? 

So Jimmy would do all those things that I don't want to do, like...

my laundry (or maybe just the folding since most guys are completely incapable of sorting by color)

get me a coffee when I start to wilt

drive me places that are far and unusual because I can't space out while I drive if I don't know where Im going and that's annoying so I'll have Jimmy drive

keep up on All My Children, it's been years since I watched it and I wonder how everyone in Pine Valley is doing these days

Also Jimmy can make me a salad when I feel like eating french fries and then ask me if I've lost weight?

So, I'm visualizing my happy life with Jimmy and I just want to take this moment to say thanks Jimmy, I couldn't do it all without you.
