What do I do when I get the Winter Blues? I do what any self-respecting woman does – I get new hair.
I want on purpose hair.
I’m willing to fix it and style it now.
I want it to look sleek and sophisticated. I want it short because it’s so much lighter and easier. I want to look hip, but I want to look like a grown-up.
So I googled “short sophisticated hair” and emailed my stylist, Mrs. Blogoway, a bunch of styles I like.

Then don’t ya always feel compelled to “strike a pose” like a model?

Chris Swanson is the winner of a Hipster Shoulder Bag! Yay!
The Hipster- You can pack your wallet, phone, keys, lip gloss (even a passport!) into this hands-free shoulder purse. It measures 6 1/2″ x 9″ with a 50″ strap long enough to wear across your body or simply over your shoulder. Want to adjust the length? Just tie a knot in the strap. This bag retails for $40.00.
I love the length of the strap. I have kids to carry so I need something that will go across my shoulder and end up on my other hip. Asymmetry is …read more

The only purpose for make-up, or clothes, or anything else in the world of form is not to seduce another person, but to add light to the world in the form of beauty and pleasure. The meaning in things is how much we use them to contribute happiness to the world. clothes and other personal effects are no different than any other art form. If we perceive them lovingly, they can lift the vibrations and increase the energy in the world around us.
What is vanity? What is the ego-oriented, neurotic obsession with weight, hair, looks, and sex appeal that …read more

While shopping online for a shirt I thought, what if I were tall?

They’d put an extra 2 inches on the bottom of the shirt.

Hello?

I bought the “Tall” size.

Best Fashion Tip Ever.

Pretend you’re tall and you’ll have the right to raise your arms or pick up your kids without showing your stomach.

I’ve been so over showing my stomach for about a decade now and looking back on photos, I wish I’d have gotten over that about 5 years before I actually did.

Incredible Shrinking Torso

Her Way Sucks, I Prefer His

Florescent Compulsion

Mood Shaper

Resigned to Perma-Wedgie

Someone recently described me as “all natural” and I scoffed.
I’m not really, I just do yoga and would rather exercise and take a vitamin than a prescription, I said.
Then I told them about the natural salt rock in place of my deodorant and the melatonin they should take to sleep instead of Tylenol PM and my reputation around these parts was sealed.
I’m officially known as a health nut.
But, I swear I only got here kicking and screaming after finding the traditional method of Wellbutrin and Xanex popping completely detrimental to my soul.
Then there’s the peer …read more

Last year I wrote about how I wear men’s Hanes Briefs because they actually cover my ass in Her Way Sucks, I Prefer His.
I discovered accidentally, about 10 years ago, that men feel entitled to wear comfortable underwear that covers their entire ass. The whole thing.
Once I made this discovery a decade ago I became oddly entitled. Yes, entitled. Entitled to have underwear that doesn’t ride up my ass or give me a wedgie. I feel my best when I have no need to find a wall to sidle up against to femininely and discreetly tug the panties …read more

Schick sent me this pretty little pink Quattro Razor.

I told them, look I’ve never found a women’s razor that worked as good as my husbands. I use the Schick Quatro for men. (Total coincidence that it’s the same company.)

The thing is I’ve no problem using men’s products if they work better. I wear men’s underwear (Her Way Sucks, I Prefer His), so it’s a no-brainer to use the men’s razor if it works better.

I used the Schick Quattro for Women several times and frankly, it made my armpits a little rashy and I kept having to scratch my itchy …read more

I can’t tell you how often I hear women criticize their own breasts.

I often hear, I just want “normal” breasts. The owner of the breasts has generally stood before a mirror and compared her own image to the images she sees on television, in movies, in magazines and on the Internet.

But, those aren’t NORMAL breasts. Those usually aren’t even REAL breasts.

I once dated a guy who lived in LA. I was astounded and shocked that he believed those LA girls were born with those DDs. He would even argue that 5 foot tall Asian women we would see at a …read more

I’ve kept this shirt for 4 years because I am waiting . . .
for my torso to shrink
or the shirt to lengthen 2 inches.
I’ve got this crazy entitlement issue with my shirts. I feel I should be allowed to move my arms without showing my stomach.
The one with the pink scarf too. My mother bought them for me and it feels ungrateful to admit they don’t fit. What’s the statute of limitations on this?
My torso not only has to shrink for the striped one to fit, but my boobs do too. I’m holding out because shrinking boobs …read more
