A New Yawkah once told me she’d never shop at Wal-Mart.
I asked her what part of low prices for reasonable qualty merchandise she didn’t like.
We don’t talk much, she and I.
Well it's now the tomorrow of yesterday and just to be contrary, I went out side and tried to look at the sun.
But every time I looked up at the sky drops of water hit me in the face...
..not to mention all other exposed areas and clothing.
Probably an omen or something.
Or else it's just raining.
This may be the finest post I ever read....
And why would you want to go to either??
Salvation Army (for the sweater).
I saw one sweater, $2, that was 50% angora rabbit wool, 40% lambswool, and 10% synthetic. Another (a J. Crew piece) was a similar blend. Unfortunately, the first one was an ugly design; I wish I could have made mittens out of it, at least. The J. Crew item was too small for me or Sally, and too big for Kathleen. Now I wish I’d bought it for Asuncion’s 8-year-old granddaughter.
It was like those sweaters Michelle Obama wears, that she can’t get on with her big shoulders but thinks make her look smaller, or something.
Ground beef is so expensive, but we can usually get it 30% off, because we’re there almost every day and hit the “sell before” date.
Nah...he loves me because I’m the only logical female he has ever known...and I don’t understand women...
lol
I know people who won't go to The Salvation Army. What's not to like about a $2 cashmere sweater?
Michelle Obama’s clothing taste is all in her mouth. No matter what she wears, she always looks like a hooker.
A CHEAP hooker.
A cheap, colorblind hooker who’s picking up her clothes off the closet floor in the dark.
I think every woman has a distorted body image. I look in the mirror and see a size 14, even if my clothes are size 4. Michelle looks in the mirror and sees a size 4, and then tries to put size 4 clothes on a size 14 frame.
umm..
Is that the same thing as what we used to classify as a "two bit whore"???
You know, the ones that threaten to beat you with their bag of quarters if you don't pay up...
Don't hold back, T-C. Tell us what you *really* think.
Actually, I take some flack on FR for saying that Michelle isn’t naturally hideous or grotesque. Yes, she has some deviations from the gay-man’s-fashion-ideal figure. Almost all women do, and those who don’t are usually sick.
There are times when she looks quite good, but those seem to be times when someone else - someone who doesn’t know her - is dressing her. As I sometimes say to my 14-year-old, “There is no overlap between ‘what you like’ and ‘what looks good on you,’ because you have no taste.”
Sally is a 5’8”, slender, natural blonde. When she wears what I tell her to, everyone falls over themselves saying how beautiful she is. When she wears what she chooses, she looks like she’s picking up her brothers’ clothes off the floor of the closet in the dark.
It is what it is, by any definition.
I could spend an hour explaining why she should dress in a certain way, and another 60 days designing clothes for her figure, but I’m not being paid for either, so I will just let her look like she’s ghetto bred, which is equivalent to poor white trash.
I love the early morning butcher’s tags, but I don’t seem to have enough money to do much good, even when I get there early.
Ground beef is nearly as versatile as chicken and pork.
For a second, I thought I’d written that post ;-).
When you have to “just cook something,” ground beef is just about the easiest thing. We have a lot in the freezer now. It will be hamburgers, chili, or tacos, and we can quickly come up with a main dish when we get an email from the church about someone who’s had a baby or surgery.
Been a long time since I made the beef-noodle dish. Maybe we’ll do that next time DP goes on a trip, which is like a week from now.
I KNOW she could look good, like a real representative of American women, but she has indescribably horrendously bad taste when it comes to style and color.
As a seamstress and one who has done multitudinous alterations for many body types, I am ashamed every time the press takes a pic of her...she IS the epitome of bag ladies.
