I like any store that uses the word “frock.”
This site has literally some of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. I can barely narrow it down.

frock
Midnight in the garden dress, $74.99

anna
Anna Karenina dress, $64.99

buck
Buckingham Palace dress, $69.99

dance
Tiny Dancer’s Dress,  $64.99

mum
Mum’s the Word dress, $129.99

It’s almost awkward how many of these dresses I am completely entranced by. I don’t think I have ever before seen a Web site where I like every single thing.

I will leave you with these shoes, the Unicorn Princess heels, $119.99. I adore them, and not just because they are called Unicorn Princess. OK, maybe because of that.

It always makes me happy when I start liking something, and then discover it is “hip.” This is a rare occurrence that should be celebrated.
A few months ago, I began thinking about jumpsuits. I don’t know why; society must have planted some subliminal seed in the fashion lobe of my medulla.
Then today, I received an e-mail from Someone Who Knows Things that proclaimed jumpsuits are in. All the celebs are doing it, so why aren’t you? (Rhetorical.)
Here are some of my favorite suits to jump in.

Guess denim jumpsuit, aka the Canadian Hooker Tuxedo:
jumpsuit
Despite my sarcastic nickname for this, I seriously do like it.

Here is another one of Guess’s jumpsuit concoctions:
gold-jumpsuit

OK, so maybe those are a little too much for Boulder.
Here is a more conservative way to wear something very similar to adult footie pajamas, without the feet, in public.

2jumpsuit
This is from Victoria’s Secret, $55.

Unfortunately, a poll at Fabsugar.com asked readers whether they hated or loved the jumpsuit look. The majority said hate. Only 38 percent (including me) said love it. The rest of the reader’s computers froze in protest.

Not all suits o’ jump are created equal. Here is a Victoria’s Secret version that makes my eyes water.
ugly
If a Victoria’s Secret model — indisputably the sexiest women on the planet — cannot look hot in it, it should be burned.
I think the key to a cute jumpsuit is:
* Bell bottoms
* Strapless or thin straps. No sleeves.
* No elastic ankles.
* Avoid patterns at all costs, unless you want to look like you are wearing a baby romper.

I just wanted everyone to know the truth about this so-called fashion columnist who has been offering style advice to the greater Denver area for six years. She is a fraud! Here is the proof.

From my Africa journal last week:

“Then I broke my glasses. I tried for an hour to tape them back together with black masking tape that I brought. But the Deet must have destroyed my coordination because I couldn’t do it. And then Reba tried, and taped the arm on upside down. At that time, I began cry-laughing quite hysterically as I realized how badly I needed Man. I solicited help from the closest Man, my dad, who tried to burn the arm on with his lighter; twisted paper clips; and tried to use staples in ways I don’t think staples have even been intended. He ended up securing the arm with duct tape — OF COURSE — and a chunk of WOOD that he sliced off the bed frame. I look like Poindexter. No, I make Poindexter look hot.”

  • Today I tried to do fancy eyeliner and it ended up looking like I got in a wrestling match with someone clutching a black marker. #
  • Who cares that Colorado rains every day now if you can use something this cute:

5.0 out of 5 stars Dual Function Design, November 10, 2008

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
