SCENARIO: We’re wearing high heels. Men’s Health says: We want the guys to check out our butt. I say: We want our girlfriends to check out our shoes.
SCENARIO: We’re wearing something red. Men’s Health says: We want to be noticed. I say: Red looks good with our new cute shoes. Oh, have you seen them yet? So cute, right? And they were on sale!! $78 marked down from $165. Preach it.

You are rubber.
Particularly fitting with all the internet drama this week. Ohh, the internet. I would really dislike you, if it weren’t for things like the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam.

“I wonder if all of this transparency is really just making us a generation of damn good liars. Maybe what social media teaches us is how to be a creative secret keeper, how to put exactly what we want in front of the eyes of the world, and how to hold everything else behind the curtain.”

I actually had a conversation that started with the above phrase and ended with discussions of Yelp’s extortion of vendors about two days ago. …Then I used Yelp to find a restaurant for dinner. GAH! So dependent!

J: Getting rear-ended under any circumstances is never good.

me: i know a lot of people who do have to work on Monday though. it's like corporate America no longer believes in equality.
k: it was a short window of acceptance. "By The Time I Get to Arizona" is only like 20 years old

me: i understand, darling.
k: that was not me thinking you didn't understand... that was me 'saying it out loud' because it really is crazy

“I was watching this weird older guy make a series of awkward phone calls when a little girl wearing those damn heelie shoes—you know, the kind that enable kids to roll around at the most inopportune times like when I am eating at a decent restaurant or waiting to catch a flight?
