True to his word, late this week the gardener/clothing designer left the shirt that screamed "me" on the doorstep where I work. Obviously, there was some confusion, on my part, in regards to the black and the widow and the hourglass. Who could have expected that the widow would be red, the shirt black, and the hourglass the graphic centerpiece? Not me. I am not modeling the shirt in the illustrative picture below because I haven't tried it on yet and it's so tiny that I'm unconvinced it's going to cover the entirety of my breasts. I'll find out tomorrow.
An unexpected treat tonight: a blog visitor named Claudia visited my Nicole Richie post earlier and left a very intense comment/essay. Very intense. But the Richie post has fallen off my main site page and I'm worried that regular readers will miss out on this comment, so I am posting it below for good measure. Without further ado. . .
"Hi...ok after reading so many comments about Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, I've only felt compelled somehow to post a comment towards your "enriching" article (possibly the level of jealousy and bitchyness was simulating) I feel I have to strongy disagree with you about Nicole for several reasons. First of all, consider this..did Nicole have to go to hicksville and stay in a little cramp bedroom and share a bathroom with 7 strangers?? NO! How many snobs and people of the upper class dare to experiance the same thing as Nicole and Paris?? You might argue that they did it just for fame/publicity/money/etc but do they really need any that? Ok maybe Nicole isn't as wealthy and in the spotlight as Paris but she still didn't have to become involved in this project under any terms. If Nicole and Paris were truly snobs, they would disregard everyone and everything around them, stick their noses in the air, appear extremely fake, and even try to conceal their spoiled tendancies because god forbid real snobs would never show their flaws to the world. That is the true meaning of snob b/c guess what honey, after being surrounded by snobs my whole life I know the TRUE meaning of a snob. Snobs are BORING, STUCK UP, MEAN, AND SELFISH. I'm sorry but I don't think this applies to Nicole and Paris at all. They were able to make the show exciting, worked each situation to its entertainment potential, been involed, and most of all have a great sense of humour which I'm sorry to say most people in this world lack including you. It may not be an educating enriching experiance but this show isn't targeted for rocket scientists. Nicole and Paris are both sensibily smart girls, they know their image is an important part of their appeal and potential careers so they have to play up for it. They cant act like somebody who spends their fingers glued to the keyboard writing bitchy articles about celebrities (if I need to fill you in, I'm referring to you). Even so, they don't have jealousy or meaness as part of their character. With all the money they have they can dress waspy or in chanel suits and appear to have big sticks up their ass as most snobs do, but instead they know they're fun, young, cute enough to wear whatever that makes them happy. Anyone can buy class, but nobody can buy a sense of humour which I think is one of the rarest assests to have. You can aquire intelligence through reading and studying, a good body through working out, beauty through plastic surgery (which neither both have done) but having a sense of humour is something which must come naturally and through the way one chooses to percieve their external environment. You can be a stuck up bitch with a tree up your ass or you can enjoy what the world has to offer such as experiancing a new lifestyle while having the ability to have fun such as Nicole and Paris were able to. They are not niave girls, they know the world is a bitch filled with bitchy people but they have fun anyway. I'm sorry but I dont think that YOU would have been able to make the quilting scene as exciting as Nicole was able to. People would probably change the channel in like 2 seconds after seeing your face and attitude. Nicole is an amazing spirit, very charming, lots of fun, and its unfortunate that there are so many beady eyes after her. God bless her soul and her ability to make people laugh which is what the world needs. OH and lastly I'm so sick of you "I'm so educated and better than everyone else" type egos all over the web. Get the fuck over yourselves. If you were so educated why are you wasting your time writing shit about people that you consider to be low. Why waste your time? Because it obviously affects you that there are rare girls out there who are able to be smart/ beautiful/ rich/ and funny. You probably get orgasms from insulting those better than you. Trying to make yourself feel better because you are able to produce a semi-decent written article and spell a few big words will not change the fact that you are a bitter jealous bitch. Thanks for reading."
wow. that is intense.
1. since when has working "each situation to its entertainment potential" become such a noble quality? it doesn't change the fact she is downright disrespectful to most of the people she encounters.
2. andrea is a pretentious snob. that's why i love her, and that's why i can see the HUMOR in her writing. andrea is not a pretentious snob, but she is quite an articulate and ENTERTAINING critic.

"You can aquire...beauty through plastic surgery (which neither both have done)"
Wait, so neither both have "aquired" beauty through plastic surgery? It sounds like a serious gossip bomb is buried in there somewhere. Somebody needs to get on this.
