Many thanks for the informative post. My wife’s calling me for dinner So I need to run off without having reading as much as I’d like. But I set your blog on my RSS feed so that I can study more.

This post is hysterical… AND it reminded me of something I bookmarked at Chickdowntown.com the other day – not for a future purchase, mind you, but for the amazing description:

“Tiger Tiger Crop Top:
Bold silk screened motifs create a witty point of interest. Machine wash.”

You really have to see the item in question to appreciate how “witty” it really is, I think. And yes, Rumi would be all over that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Kerouac is overrated. He’s really the manna of adolescent guys in my mind. I did make it through On the Road but just barely. I’ll have to give Burroughs a try.

Ah, it is so lush to hear somebody else admit they are not feeling Kerouac, I also find the writing a bit dull. Saying that, I did just read a book him and Burroughs did together (they wrote a chapter each) and I thought it was really decent. Burroughs had the edge though.

It is called, And the hippos were boiled in their tanks.
I think they wrote it about 10 years before either of them became famous.

I also am ashamed of myself, but I do like the leggings, maybe they should have called them the Freddy Krueger leggings?

reddoorread – Truer words were never written.

Iheartfashion – Hahahaha! Will do.

Ann – Did you take your temperature??!!

Deni – Click on the link to see the dress. It’s nice how we still can’t shave our legs properly, isn’t it?

Danielle – But wouldn’t that make her kind of, you know, like, full of herself?

K-Line -Oh you are too kind, K.

Hammie – NO, it was a nothing-looking black mini dress.

K-Line – She will get one!

Hammie needs to win an award for that slogan.

please tell me what the Sylvia Plath outfit was?

(and please tell me it was a novelty apron with “it’s not your buns that are in this oven” on the bib)

Hahah! They should have just named the leggings after Rumi, not Kerouac. Save some time.

I like the leggings (though very 70s retro), hate the name, and wish I had those legs to go along with the leggings and shoes. I’m wondering what the Sylvia Plath dress looked like? Did it have a towel for over the head? And thank you for letting me know where the Gillette Mach Razors reside at CVS. (I may forgo the razors at .99 cent store for a cleaner and less bloody shave.)
