Well, it's been interesting to see to see what you have to say before you know what I think! I was waiting to be told I'm sloppy for not quoting my source...and no-one told me :)
The blog is "no new shoes"
I have never celebrated lent and I can't say I'm going to start now but thought that my regular anti-consumption rant fitted nicely with the premise of lent. Correct me if I'm wrong but lent is about forgoing something as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice?
I have told you that I love fashion (one of the most wasteful and vacuous industries around) and I have lots of other hedonistic tendencies so I can't suggest that you give up your snacks or your golf(Brian) or your music (attenuator)
I can say that I hope that I live my everyday life in a spirit of mindful consumption.....for me everyday should encompass a tiny bit of lent.
Was that too preachy?
I'm with you. I forgo a lot. Underwear and slips. I don't like bras either, but wear them so I'm not draggin the titties around. I also wear blue jean till they basically fall off and tee-shirts till they're a memory. How we doin' so far? Yup, I'm sure I'm attractin' a lot of male viewers! My goal! I always remember 1pic and the photo of his female friend's beautiful feet and manicure. I commented about them and he said getting that look wasn't very hard. I obviously laughed. Getting that look is like the last thing on my mind. I can't really be bothered. Life's too short. Obviously, I'm low maintenance!

Love ya,
Suze
im low maintenance too, suze....who could be bothered?
ReplyDeleteah, i like your mention of slips...i dont think anybody under 30 even knows what they are !
muser? you're under 30, except when you're in your 70's...whats a slip?
Hey Kylie,
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by to say hello. I know I should say something profound / inspirational here. But I am overtired.
Adieu,
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
M.
no, i'm too tired for profound and inspirational...keep it for a day i can appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteattenuator...click on the link for bomber and have a look at the pic...you will go on to live another day...even the patriarch might like it
ReplyDeleteUnless I'm very much mistaken, a slip is sort of a silk underdress. Is underdress even a word? The red line under it tells me blogger's spell check doesn't buy my explanation. Women wear them as nighties and stuff too, right? Am I even close? I was confident I know what I'm talking about but the more I think about the less confident I've become. If I'm wrong I'll blame it on my youthful lack of life experience or my senility, depending on how old I'm purporting I am today.
ReplyDeleteAnd Suzanne, you did get this males attention! lol
Kylie, thanks for your comment. I actually do feel better having written it down and put it out there. It's helped me make a little more sense of it.
Thanks also for the comment about the one-word titles. I tried to go for something simple and clean and not too wordy. And it just feels right.
A quick google search just told me there are about 995,112 words in the English language and some simple arithmetic tells me I can write a unique, one-word title for my posts (assuming one post a day) for the next 2,724 years! I don't think I'll get that far...
Mark...perhaps you should be drinking my coffee. Want a recommendation? XO P.S. Actually, I think we should all be drinking Robyn's!
ReplyDeleteKylie, your blog's too funny today and no, I'm not going to get a shower until I get back from feeding the ferals.
ReplyDeleteMuser. Glad I got your attention. I've visited, but next time will actually leave a comment! We both love tennis. You made me laugh. You think this is good, go to Kylies last post for the full complement!!! What a wonderful thing to laugh so early in the morning! Kylie has a way of bringing out the best in people.
Oxford American Disctionary gives little mention to a slip (the fabric kind), just indicates it's a petticoat. What?! Women haven't worn petticoats since the 1800's.,,,,,,,,,,nmnx
Maestro just stepped on the damn keyboard. He's a horrible typist. Obviously.
Lots of love to all and have a beautiful day, or night, depending on your local.
XO Suzanne
Yes, I do know how to spell compliment and it isn't spelled compement. I'm tired. That's my only excuse. I can't blame it on Maestro.
ReplyDeleteKylie,
ReplyDeleteI am with you and Suzanne too...
I forget about shopping after having Serene, now in life there is only one priority...this baby..
Life is changed forever!
love you
bindi
Bindi, you know what, Serene is so much more important than a piece of fabric, a bra, panties, a slip, blue jeans or a tee-shirt. Thank God for moms like you. I absolutely adore mom's who love their kids. And of course...I love you.
ReplyDeleteXO
Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteThanks and I love you too...
Yes, I love her so much not even a minute am away from her...She is a good baby...am so lucky to have her.
and..."eclectica" is a delicious place to visit again and again :))
I'n trying to type over Ohno. He thinks the computer is an amazing thing. It's so funny I can't stop laughing. How do animals know stupid stuff? Okay, he's laying on my hands. This is going to be a challenge. Okay, I've typed that sentence like 5 times! It's hard with so much weight.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's so funny? After the dunk in the fish tank he grew to twice his size. I tell him every day it was the fish water! He's almost 7 pounds. Oh my goodness. Now he has to have his pom-poms taken care of. Oh well. Life is life.
Love you sweetie!
XO Suzanne
