Ridiculous Fashion

It's that time of year again. Fashion Week is over so the New York Times publishes its cash cow, TMagazine.

And what craziness we have this year. Under "The Goods:The Must Haves" you'll find a $36,000 purse. That's THIRTY-SIX THOUSAND dollars. For a purse. I couldn't even bring myself to buy a $400 handbag at the Coach Outlet.

The Times also features some poor model wearing these "shoes". No, they don't have a heel. Do you think women need a heel on 5.5 inch platform shoes? What's wrong with you? Fashion is pain.

Back...maybe.

So I'm thinking about starting this thing up again b/c I have a lot going on and it's fun to tell the whole world.

Things that are happening:
1. I applied to Ph.D. programs and have been accepted into two so it looks like I'll be going back in the fall.

2. I was asked to submit a book proposal based on the article I published. I should be working on it right now but instead I'm writing this blog.

3. My relationship with my boyfriend is overly complicated at the moment.

4. Obama! (but I'm voting for the democrat no matter what)
