Ugly Jewelry

I like a lot of Finn Jewelry's cheekiness, but these pieces really rub me the wrong way.

There's nothing special about them, and that's one annoying thing.  But the color of the gold matched with the particular color of the emeralds make them look especially like something from Macy's.  or Kay's Jewelers.

Rah-Rah Feminism

An over zealous bone-breaking  handshake declaring WE ARE FRIENDS

But like most instances of denial, it only brings attention to the undercurrent of competition, of the belief in a zero-sum game.  But the fact that women have to support other women is the other extreme of the same side of the sexism coin.  Not being friends does not have to equate being enemies. Supporting another woman for the mere fact that she is one still undermines her identity and accomplishments as a human, period. Sarah Palin does not equate Hilary Clinton.

It's cliched because it's true

It's the season of warm apple cider

Cider donuts

Hot showers that fog up the mirrors where you meditavely use sea scrubs 

Warm soft blankets and hot cocoa 

Llbean catalogs full of homely goods like cushy slippers and hand cranked popcorn machines 

Short bread cookies

Beanies

My boss says you have to find your niche and sometimes you have to whore yourself out a little.  Maybe you've moved on aesthetically, but your clients haven't.

Desperate people are like viruses

They start of consistent, a nagging thorn, until they finally exhaust themselves and fade away.


But if there's ever a recurrence, it's stronger than ever.
