1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ‘em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t [...]

Ah, spring cleaning. For me it means so many things.
Yesterday afternoon when I got home from work, I hauled a couple of feeeeelthy bikes out onto the lawn, sprayed ‘em down with Simple Green, let that soak into the winter guck for a while, and hosed them down. I worked over some of the [...]

I’ve been toting around a gift certificate to my favorite lingerie shop, Birdie’s since Christmastime. I’m really bad about gift certificates, because I’m definitely a fair-weather shopper, so certificates I receive in December probably won’t be redeemed until at least March. As the latter part of this week and the whole of the weekend are [...]

I chose to wear an oversized orange cable-knit turtleneck sweater today, paired with an orange-and-red plaid skirt, white tights, and black mary-janes. It is true that I have short, brown hair, which I chose to hold back with a couple of little orange barrettes, and it is true that my eyeglasses have fairly prominent, [...]

This was the comment one of my highschool classmates made to me one day at school when I showed up wearing my Dr. Seuss Sweater (pictured below), a black miniskirt, mustard yellow leggings, and a yellow bandanna in my hair. It was an outfit carefully chosen to be as visually offensive as possible, so [...]

And his endearing goofiness is one of those many reasons.
I was talking to my folks earlier today and my dad commented that he’s just about ready for Audrey and Matt’s wedding, he’s lacking only a tie. He admitted that mentioned his tie deficit to one of their neighbor ladies, a kind-hearted craftswoman who was only [...]

torrid.com is the place to go. That is if you are an over 6′ size 12. As you will see, they work pretty darn well on the ectomorphic build.

Joel and one of his co-workers, Dean, hit upon the notion of a team costume: “patient” and [...]

The ones who didn’t wear bloomers, that is, and who clung tenaciously to skirt wearing. How, in an era when it was considered racy to show anything above your ankle, did they manage to ride bikes in skirts without showing everything up to mid-thigh?
I ask this question because I was wearing a skirt today [...]

I know it’s a bit hypocritical of me to follow up a rant about how much fashion sucks with a shopping post, but the fact of the matter is, a few weeks ago, I placed an order at mytights.com (I recommend them highly) for a couple of pair of merino tights. I’d been shopping around, [...]

I think the fashion world is irreparably fucked.
Actually, I think it always has been. Sure there have been periods of respite where comfortable, reasonably flattering clothing were in fashion (most of the 1940s & 1960s, in recent history) but those times have been short lived and scattered. There have been more, and more-lengthy [...]
