Fashionistas you have arrived 3-25-03 - 10-3-03

[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

Every time I open my hotmail inbox, she's there.

Good lord.

Seriously girls, it shouldn't be cheating unless we care about the other girl. Be reasonable.

But he said "hair". Is right a relative term?

Relatively infrequently to be exact.

At least the grease paint gives a better visual than a blue latex "head jimmy" don't you think?

Well, probably the reason we don't see the Blue Men without their paint is that the grease gives them horrible acne. Any hazard pay for that? Or do they have a dermatologist on staff?

From the BMG website --

This song depicts a woman who’s fed up in general with societal pressure. In our mind, she might also represent an artist who’s frustrated with the vapid and demeaning nature of what Joni Mitchell called the “star-maker machinery.” The woman says, “Tried to go the way you told me, but each time I got lost. The stairs didn’t lead me anywhere.”
So now she’s ready to find her own route, one that can get her to a place where something meaningful and authentic can be expressed. She’s going to take the fire escape up to the roof. This is a writing tool that we invented. We call it a “metaphor.” Pretty soon, everyone will be doing this, but that’s ok, we’re used to getting ripped off.

I thought Fox News originated the term "metaphor."

And speaking of it takes a lot of money to look this cheap, a gal I know has one of those hideous LV bags with the LV logo all over it. I think this was discussed before, but this has got to be the epitome of lots of money to look cheap bc the only purpose of this bag that I can see is to announce that you own a LV bag of X dollars. And if that aint tacky, I dont know what is. I guess its like fake tits in that manner- spending four or ten thousand to look tacky.

edited to fix quote codes by e/o.

I'm with you on this one. It's the ugliest expensive purse that a person can own. I was at an airport one time - I think it was JFK and this couple gets out of a cab with the whole LV collection. I'm talking purse, suitcase, suitbag, trunk, carryon - it looked like a catalog. My only thought was - I hope the luggage guys get ahold of this crap and beat hell out of it.

Even with my pathetic salary, it was hardly my last dollar (there are things that bear on the price other than weight, and not being one of the goyim, I don't pay retail when it comes to shit like this). And I'm closing in two weeks on a completely different house; we got out of the lawsuit house. And 19 of my friends and I are going to be camping out at the CH2 and other Vegas hotspots in the very near future. I plan to kick off the weekend with a $2,000 paigow bet. I've always wanted to do a (for me) big bet to set the tone for a Vegas trip, and I think paigow's the perfect vehicle for it. We'll see how it turns out.

For the guys. I saw the following in the Best of Craigslist, and was wondering if it was true. Most guys I've polled so far have agreed with the hypothesis:

#1- A jet pack. Any man born in the 20th century knows that jet packs were to be the preferred form of transportation as the year 2000 approached. They were promised to us by TV, radio and comic books. But the millennium has come and gone and alas we have no jet pack to shuttle us back and forth to our laser gun shooting galleries and autonomous robot boxing matches. If technology can store 5000 songs in a machine the size of a pack of cigarettes why can't it propel me through the air at 120 mph?

#2- A 1970s undercover cop persona. Every man wishes he had a John Shaft afro or styled perfectly hair helmet al'a David Soul and a cool leather car coat. We all wish that we could jump through the second-story window of a warehouse with guns blazing just as the building explodes and is engulfed in flame. Every man would love like to drive to the other side of town, slide across the hood of our 1976, black Ford Torino and shake down a junkie pimp named "Snookie" for information.

#3- A monkey. Not necessarily a pet or helper monkey, just a monkey (perhaps with a jet pack of his own). I don't know why, we all just want one.

Kate Spade is designing the uniforms and accessories for a new airline, Song (a subsidiary of Delta). her husband will be designing the men's uniforms.


Sample bag for Song Airlines.

Are Kate Spade bags fashionable? They aren't covered in a large KS monogram logo so only the astute individuals who recognize the subtle Kate Spade label will know that I spent way too much money on something to keep my wallet and checkbook in.

I could care less about a jet pack and 70s hair. I'd like a monkey (with a suit and briefcase preferably so when people came in my office to ask me to do stuff, I could just point and say "Talk to my assistant"*)













Then again, most of what I do could be done by the monkey, so I'd eventually get fired and replaced by the monkey and still be forced to drive it to the office.

As long as I could skip the car coat and keep a normal hairstyle, I want those things. Maybe I'm a man trapped in a woman's body.

However, w/r/t the monkey, what is the monkey if not a pet or a helper? Sad and trapped in a cage? My monkey would have to be one, preferably both.

No, No and No. Give me a sweet German sportscar, a vacation home on Kauai and a sailboat any day over that stuff...

So if someone offered you those things (without giving you the choice of a sports car, a vacation home and/or a sailboat) you would reject them?

Perhaps we should swap bodies a la Freaky Friday.

No, they are not fashionable. They were fashionable four or five years ago, people still buy and carry them, but I don't know why. You can tell a Kate Spade bag (or its knockoff) by the shape from anywhere in a room. The label is meaningless.
