You know how when you first walk into the Monkey House at the Zoo, you say “Oh, it smells TERRIBLE in here!!”, then you stay a little longer, and say “Well, it’s not so bad…”, and by the time you leave, you can’t smell it at all? You, my friend, have been living in the […]
The Presidenim Election.
I have a list of subjects that I refuse to blog about, and my political leanings are very near the top of that document, right behind – oh wait – blogging about the contents of the list is on the list. However, I find myself at a place in time where I absolutely MUST make […]
On the Proper Fitting of Jeans.
UPDATED: A Plus Sized Sequel was published on October 12, 2012. Click here to read that post. Three years ago, I wrote a blog post that inadvertently defined my identity as a blogger. It was about Mom Jeans. I didn’t really write it to be a how-to post – I wrote it as a humor […]
Make it Work.
I have a confession to make: I’m afraid of print journalists. Journalactophobic, perhaps? (Kinda sounds like I’m afraid of lactating journalists, but it will do.) Being that I’m considered in the field of “new media”, I will occasionally get invited to a press event. With magazine writers, newspaper journalists, and the occasional television reporter. They […]
Fashionably Hypocritical.
Oh, hi there. (Ahem.) So remember that post that I wrote last week about Zulily? Yeah. So, that very same afternoon, I received a package in the mail – one of my Zulily orders. As I mentioned before, the one-click ordering makes it a wee bit too easy to order without thinking too hard, and […]
Zulily. Really??
The Zulily iPhone App is the most dangerous thing I’ve ever installed on my phone. I was a latecomer to the wonderful world of Zulily, mainly because I was too lazy to actually go to their website. But somehow I managed to stumble across the iPhone app, and here I am. A complete Zulily addict. […]
A Denim Miracle.
Update: Due to significant changes in the company and a terrible downward spiral in denim quality, I no longer recommend shopping through Vault Denim. I now buy all of my jeans through Nordstrom Rack’s app, HauteLook, which regularly features my favorite brands of designer jeans at half the cost. I highly recommend it! My current […]
A Denim Discovery of Profound Importance.
The battle against Mom Jeans is a constant one – something that we all have to be ever-vigilant about. It was, I’m ashamed to say, a battle I myself was losing less than a decade ago. Perhaps this is what fueled my fire to take such a strong stand against it. Much evidence of my […]
A Compromise of Morals.
I swore that I would never do it. Besides the commercials being completely and absolutely disturbing, They were voted, by you, to be Mom Jeans. And they are – Mom Jeans for Babies. The washed denim – horrifically 80’s. The Pocket Placement – deplorably Bill Blass-esque. (If your pocket gets lost in a wedgie, you […]
Because Confession is Good for the Soul…
My Mother felt so cleansed of guilt and shame after my post on Friday that she brought me more evidence of my childhood mistreatments that very night. (That and she’s been cleaning out her basement, but that’s beside the point.) As it turns out, The Atrocity wasn’t a one-time offense, nor perhaps even as bad […]
