They Might Be Custom

At the TMBG show last night, I bought the t-shirt I have been coveting since the last time I saw them, almost three years ago. It’s this one. Unfortunately, it is only available as a regular old unisex shirt, and those always look ridiculous on me. The sleeves hit me in a funny place, and the [...]

T Party

Back in the day, the only place one could get a concert t-shirt in Philly for a band other than Guns and Roses or Def Leppard was at a concert, or at Zipperhead, or that place in New Hope, the name of which I cannot remember. I went to lots of concerts and got lots [...]

‘Tis the Season

The pagan calendar recognizes a season between winter and spring with the celebration of Imbolc, which falls halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Pagans are on to something. Right around this time of year the branches start to look a little thicker, the light starts to change, and I start to feel [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Retail Therapy Edition

This Misbehaving Tuesday found me feeling a little off, getting kicked around by hormones and the weather. It being Tuesday and all, I decided it was time to bust out the pink wallet, which sounds provocatively euphemistic, but really: I have this little pink wallet that says, “shoe fund” on it, and while the [...]

You like me! You really like me!

Or, perhaps, you tired of me bugging you about voting for my smut. I am delighted to announce that I won! Finally, that year I spent working in campaign politics paid off! Thanks everyone, for your votes. I promise faithfully to uphold my duties as whatever this makes me. This was really fun. I eagerly await the [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Misappropriated Sock Edition

I did some loafing this morning, then ran my usual Tuesday errands. Overall, not a super-misbehaving Tuesday, except that my usual Tuesday run to Target for whatever we’re out of (mouthwash) gave me an idea. From time to time I will buy something from the kids’ clothing department because it is cheaper and fits just fine [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Orange Pants Edition

The first Misbehaving Tuesday of 2010 has been a great success. Highlights: 1. I overslept, blissfully. 2. Orange pants! 3. As I was walking up an aisle in Whole Foods, a woman walking toward me with her cart stopped abruptly and stared at me. “Your hair is beautiful,” she said. “It’s a beautiful style. Perfect for your face.” [...]

Orange You Glad…

… this isn’t another post about navel gazing or shoes? I have not been a big fan of facebook for a while now – it is a perpetually open tab in my browser more because it is how so many of my friends and acquaintances communicate than because I want to spend my life on it. [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Argyle Edition

My clothes don’t match today. As I was getting dressed – pink toenails, purple open-toe flats, black and gray argyle footless tights, olive drab miniskirt, purple shirt, black sweater, denim jacket – it occurred to me that I would have loved this outfit when I was sixteen, and I would have worn it all the [...]

Body, Mind and Sole*

I have two great regrets in my life: 1) One night when I was sixteen, I started laughing as my big high school crush was about to kiss me, and 2) my mom and I don’t wear the same size shoes. Such a bummer – she has good taste and more money than me. I write [...]
