As does the choice of a signoff. Honestly, people, "Cheers"? Why not just use "Namaste"?

There was actually an article about this very subject in this Sunday's NY Times. Apparently, "Best" is considered cold.

I sign most of my emails "Best".

Hmph.

You know what I hate? Blonde hair and black eyebrows. I also hate bleached eyebrows.

Still, I feel pressure from Hollywood to cut my bangs straight and go long with no layers.

Like what, "Everytime we touch" by Cascadia?

Very truly yours,

PLF

"everytime we touch I get this feeling, everytime we touch I swear I can fly"

O.K., just for kicks, I looked up Cascadia (whose name actually is Cascada). You know, you've got a good spin class instinct, because I listened to that "Everytime we touch" song on MySpace and I am pretty damn sure I have, in fact, heard it in a spin class. Or maybe a remix. Is the demographic that listens to Cascada exclusively gay males? Because just hearing a few seconds of that song made me want to strut back and forth across my office wearing only short shorts and a bright feather boa.

Given what passes as his attempt at witty banter, I now understand why his best dating market is the English-as-a-second-language crowd.

Hollywood does not care how you wear your hair, so just breathe a sigh of relief and get it styled however YOU want.

Hmmm. So, if I wore a platinum blonde hairdo with my black eyebrows and black eyelashes (and piercing blue eyes), you wouldn't attempt to have sexual relations with me?

Perhaps I was whiffing but I was serious when I posted that that is the typical aerobics class, spin class, techno stylie song that they would typically play.

I have it on my IPod. I use it to walk to work and at lunch walking around. I am neither gay nor male, and do not own a feather boa. I know one other person at work with that on his or her I pod they don't meet that demographic either.

I love LaPerla. my boobs are too big to wear that or Eres. I'm sad about that.

Bad news. The La Perla swim trunks you ordered are out of stock. They have asked you to select a different, less popular short.

I used to work for Brits. A lot of us got afflicted with "cheers" syndrome from exposure to that lot. Oh, well. Carry on.

Cheers*,

p.s., There's no need to get all tits up about it.

Are you talking to me or Flower? Because piercing blue eyes or no, no.

And Britney's bob, as I suspected was probably a wig. The hairline did not look right. Or these are shiny new extensions.



Still feeling the pressure to have bangs.

My kids have those (not La Perla, but that style). I call them their Johnny Weismueller bathing suits.

Picture an extended holiday dinner with the in-laws. Now picture that extended dinner with the aid of something that allows you to completely let them roll off your back, smiling the whole time.

For some people, life is like that dinner if the whole world is their in-laws. These are the people who abuse xanax. They take it because it takes them out.

i get the mother's little helper aspect, but this guy was Drugstore Cowboy.

Hmph.

Hmm. When I am requesting that people do something in my e-mails, I sign off with Thanks (or sometimes, if I am in an odd mood, Thank you). If I am not requesting that people do something, I usually sign off with Fuck off. Is that unprofessional?

Fuck off.

Same here. And I have some friends in various places around the world who all seem to have adopted the same Britishisms, so I occasionlly drop it in, but selectively. I also do "Best," in a work context, when I know them well enough/correspond enough not to go for the full "best regards" and we're way beyond "kind regards." I use "regards" to be a little cold.
