Curling?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Well, I have  so been enjoying the Olympic games,  that is all except one….you got it, “Curling?”

I did watch it for a while, but for the life of me, I just don’t get it. I don’t get the point of the game, I don’t understand the technique, what does that movement by two people on the ice do to that ..”thing?” What is that “thing” called, what is  that “thing” supposed to do??? Where did this game come from and when, and as I said I just don’t get it, nor do I like it ….I guess that’s because as I said  ….huh?  It must be a Canadian thing, they won the gold.  Good luck to them , they can keep this one.

Alexander McQueen

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I am so sad about the premature death of Alexander McQueen.  This man who finally became the darling of the fahion world, who seemingly had no where to go but up, apparently took his own life.  He was only 40 years old.  Seems he nipped his life in the bud.  Goes to show that no  matter what it looks like, one never knows someone else’s  journey.  I for one never loved his clothes, but respect his individuality and creativity.

What a shame and loss for those  that loved him and of course the rest of us fashionistas…

Bad Fashion

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I admit it,  I am totally and hopelessly addicted to fashion.  But I am  an old school kind of girl.  My idea of fashion has little to do with trend and everything to do with style.  Style, that undefinable “je ne sais quoi, ” the  inate ability to know what suits us and what doesn’t.  I am horrified on a daily basis by how many people wear clothing that they have no right to even own! Wrong proportion, wrong  color etc etc..  Finally, my aha moment.  Looking in the windows of an upscale 5th Avenue Department Store there it was…window after window of bad clothes.  Clothes  that didn’t even look good on mannequins  being validated by a  fancy retailer. What’s a girl to do??? How to guide those in need…let me think about this and report back…

So much to talk about so little time…

Who’s more outrageous, John Edwards or Tiger Woods?
I know I am a bit behind on this “breaking news” but I
can’t let my thoughts go unsaid. For me, John Edwards
is the MOST disappointing lying human being. How many
times does he think he can deny something and then
admit it? This man, this spineless, gutless, dishonest,
unethical, narcissist could have been our president.
As for Tiger, to my way of thinking he has serious
problems, and btw, that doesn’t make him any less
of a jerk.
