One tag goes around your neck, the other on your boot - that's how they know who to return the feet to.
So here I am in A-School! I could complain about the middle-of-nowhereness of Meridian, Mississippi, but I am really just thrilled to be anywhere besides bootcamp. The highlight of my week was watching a DVD and eating M&Ms until I was (almost) sick of chocolate – it sounds boring, but it was wonderful. Seriously.
I start classes next week, and shortly after that should receive my next orders, so I’ll know where I’ll be spending the next ~3 years very soon!
Okay, enough about all that. Not that I have any other news…oh, and sorry for the short iPhone post – I did go to the computer center this afternoon, but had to spend the whole hour catching up on The Sartorialist.
Will write more soon!
So, here’s my new cut and color. The color on the box was Marilyn Monroe blonde. The color on my head is Emily Hawkins light brown/dark blonde. Clearly, one of the perils of color in a box; I just gave about 117 of my hair follicles cancer for no point. The cut is probably going to grow on me…I trust Spencer, but he went way shorter than I expected. Lucky for me, the 80’s are coming back in, so my new asymmetrical style will be super on trend. Maybe. Either way, I got carded twice last night, so I’m feeling pretty good about it so far.
Guess what I’m doing tonight!
I usually like simple, clean, modern lines in jewelry, but for some reason I am really attracted to these pieces by M.C.L. Matthew Campbell Laurenza (on Gilt today.) They’re beyond gaudy, and even worse, designed by an incredibly snooty looking man whose biography actually includes such lines as “…influenced by his family’s collections of art and antiques, Matthew started flexing his creative muscles at a very early age. As a child, he had the impressive ability to produce artistic sculptures…” Sculptures, really? wow.
When I did a quick web search to see where one might purchase these beauties, I found another stunning pair, made out of hand-painted silk and 18-karat gold, for only $27,945.
Seems a little more reasonable when you consider someone paid $72.8 million for Rothko’s Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose. I wonder if anyone pointed out to them that they could have had 2,605 pairs of Mai Lamore Rose petal shoes instead.
Dylan and I went on a run the other day, and I decided to sport some of the paraphernalia! D looked like he was considering asking me to run ten paces behind him, but then thought better of it, probably cause I looked so kick-ass.
I know you are as interested as I am in looking as beautiful as we do FOREVER, so I thought I’d share this with you.
So here are the products I got from the Lucky Magazine contest I won. Not a lot of stuff, but hey – it was free! High five!
Also, the product is pretty gentle on my (ultra-sensitive) skin, and based on the ingredient list, is probably edible as well. However, I tend to question anything that lists Acai berry as an active ingredient. My experience with those lousy acai berry scammers has left a foul taste in my mouth for anyone who has jumped on this snake-oil bandwagon.
Not to be gross, but I usually pull the little blonde hairs off my toes every time I do my toenails. So I don’t see the point in wearing sandles that make it look like your foot has run off and mated with a mountain goat.
