BFF with Patti Smith

-


Liz and Luke are coming in tomorrow for this reading I'm doing at the Philadelphia Book Festival. You are more than welcome to come, as I suspect that the group will consist of me, the other two writers and L & L. So, you know, between 5-7 people. I meant to get something new and cute to wear but haven't had time to go shopping, so it looks like it's just going to be a wife-beater with stained pits and flood pants--oh, just talked to Amanda and she said I should write about how some of the female students dress on campus--we were just discussing this at lunch as well, because we saw a parade of fashion victims on the Walk.

Possible bad outfits for the reading:


1. A too small super thin t-shirt that clings to every curve on my body and allows the audience to see my belly button through my shirt as well as every wrinkle in my bra and each globual of cellulite. For pants, I will wear a pair of low slung jeans that are three sizes too small so that I can acheive the Muffin Top look and also so while I'm sitting down, anyone behind me will be able to see down my jeans to my ankles.


2. Return to the 80s--black leggings (or even better: white leggings) with a short short skirt that just brushes below the ass line. On top, a conservative button up oxford. Shoes: either white flat sneakers, Ugg boots, or a black pump. I just don't understand why anybody would wear leggings if they weren't exercising. It goes hand in hand with the jeans under a dress. Pick one thing! You're either wearing a dress or you're wearing a skirt but you are not to wear a dress and jeans or a skirt and leggings. I but you anything, anything, anything that stirrup pants will show up next with thick socks over them. That is perhaps the worst look invented (next to hairshirts) because no one looks good in it; everyone becomes a person with a fat ass and huge thighs and little bitty legs. All you have to know is that Lyndsey Lohan has been wearing leggings nonstop; don't copy her! Neither she nor Hillary Duff nor either of the creepy Olsen twins should have anything to say about what's cute to wear.

I am a big fan the pants and skirt/ dress look for several reasons: 1) you can ride in it, 2) you can wear a short dress even if you would never, ever show your upper thighs, even in tights or leggings, and 3) you can wear a dress even when it is ass cold (as it is every day in Montreal, unless it is ass hot) and 4) you kind of dress like the dalai lama. I think you need to re-consider your position on this! Signed, muffin top.

Yes, you are right about the dress/skirts, particularly given your location. I've had a couple of other friends disagree with me on this same issue. I defer to those of you who ride bikes as well. xxoo!

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa Marie and I found a yard sale and stopped to browse. As a result, she bought a cute little black dress that she wore to her opening of her awesome art film, Troupe de Fetishe which you can now see at the Crane Arts building in Fishtown. I bought two pair of shoes for $4 total. These are the boots. And these are the red Mary Jane heels. I seldom wear heels b/c I quite often fall over, but these have a thick heel, so I am able to wobble around in them almost seamlessly. Then the other day, Dan took me to Green Street and I found this coat/sweater. It's good for chilly weather, but won't be enough for cold winter snow. It works for now. Oh, and these are the two leather things I got Lisa Marie for her birthday (I can put them up now b/c her birthday was yesterday). I don't really know what they're for, but I got them at Jane in Princeton. Luke saw them while he was eating a bagel at Starbucks and asked me if he could squeeze his cream cheese in...

On the Streets Where You (and I) Live

Have done my usual walking around on the weekends--met up with Celia yesterday and we trekked to Circle Thrift and then over to my house so she could admire the cats and cat dustballs. She noticed right away that Emma Carol has crazy eyes. Like, she always looks like she's about to take off running or attack a fly or turn in spastic circles. There may be photos of her tomorrow. I should keep a meter of the things I typically see. Yesterday: Crazy homeless person: 1. This was a skinny Black woman who was waving plastic bags in the air in a stairwell on Broad St. near Circle Thrift. Celia guessed that she was either on crack or crystal meth. The woman kept swatting at imaginary things and organizing the bags and then flailig them every which way as though landing an unseen plane. Then she got up and walked across the busy street wearing men's bedroom slippers. Below, please note two men on Broad St. One is pointing to the homeless lady. Funny cats: 1. This particular cat had its ...

It’s all about the recaps. It’s a show made of recaps from previous shows. I purposefully skipped the first 40 minutes. These guys are all a bunch of idiots. They are turning on one another. Wes has not shown up, because he will probably come in at the very end for some kind of surprise. They are all trying to humiliate Jake because he is too perfect and too sweet (however, he just referred to himself in the third person; kind of irritating). I don’t remember any of these guys, to be honest. Who are these women in the audience? Oh, okay time for a short break because the show has been on now for three minutes. You know what, I’m going to go ahead and time the difference between the commercials and the actual airtime of the show. >Show returns at: 8:47 p.m. Don’t forget the 20 minutes of clapping in between the scenes. I can’t tell you how much hair mousse has been used in the making of this show. Dave is the crazy dude who has decided to grow a beard for the recap Juan is being atta...
