I do dress with humor a bit every day... right now, at work, I am wearing earrings that are the floating head of a Japanese girl smiling with her hands together as if to say "Konichiwa!"<br />Only Japanese people would probably get it, but I guess that's the point.<br /><br />Much love... your sister.<br /><br />Oh, by the way... the plastic glasses aren't real. We bought them from a Halloween store that afternoon and wore them to the bar all afternoon. We just felt like wearing glasses that day. They were $1.49. I'm definitely not cool enough to be a hipster, yo. :)Charlie Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503912526315069971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-53228281351967390472011-02-16T14:29:55.139-08:002011-02-16T14:29:55.139-08:00As the Fonz says, "Exactamundo!"As the Fonz says, "Exactamundo!"KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671788468307920550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-12218830918924989052011-02-16T10:40:01.697-08:002011-02-16T10:40:01.697-08:00I hope she's okay with it.

AND she has a giant wall o' purses and accessories; she changes jewelry and bags for every outfit. Even her keychains are cute. Even her razors and soap dispensers are cute. I've never been much for purses and accessories b/c I'm not organized. It's all I can do to make sure all of my clothes are on and not inside out before leaving the house.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380108868833110610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-31426986832266261832011-02-16T10:11:49.355-08:002011-02-16T10:11:49.355-08:00Love your sister's style, and the fact that sh...Love your sister's style, and the fact that she's okay w/ you posting pics of here here.

A little nostalgic and I want to say a little ironic. And I suppose irony is the right word. But if you look at my sis's FB pics, she's been wearing those giant black glasses since college. That's like, almost 20 years. The joke is pretty old by now, which makes me think, at least in her case, those glasses are not being worn ironically. She is not praising and scorning simultaneously. She sincerely likes them for their never-ending high style. I like them too. You wear them well, sissy.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380108868833110610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-58558503325384338382011-02-16T08:03:50.113-08:002011-02-16T08:03:50.113-08:00I feel so bad.

Maybe that's where the robotic-ness comes from. It just was so unexpectedly flat. I think part of my disappointment comes from expecting something so emotionally searing because all the reviews of the book have been like, "This book not only teaches you about X, it teaches you how to live." It was praised everywhere. This is why if I ever get a book review and somebody gives it a bad review, I am going to remind myself, "Think of all those reviews that you felt were unnecessarily inflated because the author was hooked up." Also, I'm not going to post the name of the book because the author will crush me with her big literary thumb. She won't because I'm such a little ant, she won't be able to see me--but she could, if she had it out for little ants. Anyway, the book was not what I expected. Maybe it's for someone else. It felt detached and research-y. It WAS research-y (which I usually like), with personal narrative woven in. K, I'll email you. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380108868833110610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-73855895061750311822011-02-16T06:49:49.535-08:002011-02-16T06:49:49.535-08:00I too must know.
