Curious Clothing, Part II


So, I saw this horrible sweater on Ebay, and I really, really want to post it. I wouldn't even have to write anything. There would be no questions... well, no questions about why I put it here. There would be many questions about why it was made. And when you discovered, like I did, that is was made of cashmere, you would have even more questions.

Here is a link, but it will probably be gone soon, and I'm not clever enough with the interweb to snag it permanently. If I were, I wouldn't have had to write any of this. Or even this brief description of the sweater: It is gray and has Little Miss Sunshine from those little books. And to make it even better it says "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE" on the back in large black letters. Beautiful.

Curious Clothing, Part I


Can someone please explain to me why sleeveless turtleneck sweaters are made? I cannot think of a time when my neck is warm but my arms are nice and toasty. Nor can I think of a time I need a sweater but no sleeves. And how many women do you know that have great arms but want to hide their neck. Not only is the sleeveless turtleneck sweater impractical, it is (and this is the greater sin) rather ugly. I think it should be a rule that if you are going to wear something impractical, nearly everyone should think it lovely. Or everyone with good taste anyway.

Reinvention

Well, I've decided to blog again. I thought it be a good idea to reinvent this space--if for no other reason than to make it easier to read. While the black background looked cool, it made my eyes all wonky. And wonky eyes are bad.

I've also changed the name. I'm not sure what I think of the current name, but I like it better than the old one.

Well, here goes...
