You can have your opinion….and I’ll have mine: Leggings Edition

28 Feb

We all know of the dream people tend to have about showing up in public without pants on….and while this real-life legging phenomenon isn’t quite full-on, gonna get arrested nudity, it’s getting pretty darn close.  I know that people have varying attitudes on this and that my opinion isn’t quite as well respected as that of, say, Dear Abby or Joan Rivers & her fashion police cohorts. After last week’s outing to my new favorite LA watering hole, Sassafras (no sarcasm there) though, I need to put this out into the world….

LEGGINGS ARE JUST A LAYERING PIECE….

NOT PANTS.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE DESIGNERS HAD IN MIND!!!!!

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE DESIGNERS HAD IN MIND!!!!!

I’m not even raising issue with the style of these (I’m pretty sure though that this is not what Vogue had in mind when they said ‘stripes’ are back….hmm did they say that at all???).  No, really the issue at hand is if :

a.) this girl asked her friends their opinion of her outfit  and they said yes, it’s okay

b.) has she fired her friends yet?

Let’s go back for a minute to  when you were in 2nd grade, would your mom have let you wear your favorite white leggings without your skirt over top of them to school? (Note:  I use the term ‘favorite’ loosely because it simply means  they didn’t itch and have the elastic that has loosened up so much that they fall down to your knees by days end)   She let you go out of the house with your frizzy hair and lame puff-painted shirt that you had made on vacation in Daytona Beach—but she wouldn’t let you go sans bottoms…

 

Think about it.

 

 

 

‘L’ is for the way you look at me (With that thing on your face)

This is almost too cute for words

Here’s the obligatory valentine’s day posting.  Not sure what to get your loved one for Valentine’s Day?  Well, it was only a matter of time before declaring your love to someone with a diamond ring, posting it on the Jumbotron at an NBA game or having a decal on the back of your Chevy Truck was just not going to do it anymore.

And, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, folks, they’ve upped the ante over there in Russia.  While some of us might struggle with the mere idea of changing our last name when we meet the man of our dreams (Yeah, nobody said anything about marriage yet but ohhh man, now I’m going to have to redo everything that has my monogram on it!), it appears that there’s no fear of commitment over there.  In fact, it’s no longer about wearing a heart on your sleeve–the new trend is wearing his name….on your FACE.

True story ya’ll.  And, hey, before you take a gander at the pic, note these other impressive facts:

  • Ole boy tatted homegirl’s face for her.  No pomp and circumstance of going to the tattoo parlor, no risk of the tattoo artist spelling it incorrectly….sounds to me like this one was actually thought through.  
  • They had only met 24-hours before.  Apparently they’d been chat buddies for awhile, but they’d only physically met in the 24 hours leading up to the big art project.
  • I take back the misspelling of his name thing. I am not an expert on russian to english spelling translation, but his name is actually spelled Rousian but the giant gothic letters on her face say ‘Rusian’.

Proudly presenting to you, the biggest job stopper of all time:

Someone needs to do an about-face….and quick.

I know that even though I continue to be amazed by all these people in my age group who get sleeve tattoos and job stoppers, it’s really just my conservative side.  I don’t judge and I know that these people are not bothered by the theory of ‘how do you think it’ll look when you’re old?’ and ‘Won’t your grandkids be embarrassed of you?’ But, that aside, this is just….well….wow.  The (possibly) best part of all this is when the boyfran of the year spoke of quick decision making—

‘I know that there are people who are terrified that Lesya has made a rash decision that she’ll regret horribly, but sometimes the best decisions are the ones you make in an instant with your heart rather than the ones long-debated in your mind.’

Gonna need some antiseptic wipes and Neosporin on the double!

True dat, all of my best decisions that are long lasting have always come when I acted quickly and in an instant.  You’re really waxing philosophical with that, thanks.

So, if you think you’ve found the one whom will be worth having his/her moniker on your face, has a name that will look cool in gothic lettering and will clean the blood up off your face, then I think you’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for this year.  As for me, I will just continue to think that the only proper place for your man’s name….is following your missus’ first name.
