Boulder and the Beautiful

Due to the almost-accuracy and raging popularity of our new story analyzing what is in your purse, we have solicited the 50 Cent Shink to do a few more.

Contents: Jump drive, air freshener, coupons (diapers and Arby’s), cell phone that doesn’t work, tape measure, grocery list, Bluetooth.

50 Cent says: “This person is analytic, over-worked and loves to multitask to try and keep up with everything for everybody. They probably work on a global team and have to dial into TCs on a frequent occasion. This person enjoys and also hates technology. This person weighs only 115 pounds, works out regularly and has extremely close family ties. However, she is presently in the process of questioning her sexual orientation but has yet to share this with anyone except one very close female friend.”

My fashion column this Friday analyzes the contents of 15 of my friends’ purses. What does it mean about your character if you carry several different types of hand sanitizers, a stack of church brochures and a Swahili translation book? Or what if you carry a martini glass, box of condoms and three packs of cigarettes (two empty, one full)?Definitely don’t miss Friday’s column.

Be Prepared for Anything Individual:
Excessive amounts of personal affects: (48 types of lipstick, several mult-tools, a dozen power bars, five types of cologne, change of underwear, extra pair of panty-hose, three Nalgenes of water, etc. You get the point.)
Perhaps this person should consider a backpack versus a purse/hand bag. This individual wants to be prepared, yet is preparing for a variety of situations (including needing extra underwear?). This individual may be a bit insecure and hedges on that insecurity via covering the bases and taking the Boy Scout model of ‘be preparied’ to the extreme.
The other way this individual may be interpreted is obsessive/compulsive, never wanting to forget anything, therefore, carrying everything.
Again, the suggestion is not to change behavior, but rather try and accommodate the needs via a back pack. 

My friend Laura says her dog is emo. It looks like she is wearing leg warmers but those are, in fact, bandages. Cute bandages.

An eternal problem I have is keeping my jeans tucked into my jeans properly. Even skinny jeans bunch and creep around.
Per a reader request, I have found some solutions. Here you go:

* Fold the fabric over and safety pin it.

* Elastic jodhpur straps from horse-riding stores:

* Some people recommend pulling your socks over your jeans, but I find that creates uncomfortable bumps. I think it works better with thicker socks, though.

* I also heard it helps if you are wearing regular jeans to roll them up and put them in the boot. That keeps them from getting bunchy.

My little girl got a new pink pearl necklace/collar for Christmas. Which she promptly ripped off her neck and literally ate. ATE. PEARLS. ATE THEM.

… and you are looking for someone who can do spikes, but not just spikes, like a Mohawk in the middle, and then two side-hawks, with a lot of ratting… like the kind of intense rat-job that you can prob never comb thru and you will need to just shave your entire head to overcome…
you are talking to the right person.
Just fyi.
My friend Devon and I, in our brilliant New Year’s states, set up a hair salon in our hotel room and did hair all night.

What did you do New Year’s Eve? We did hair. This man’s hair was a creative twist on the comb-over that we called the Shelf.
