Technicolor Yawn

August 20, 2010 by WendyB

I used to have a tie-dyed cashmere sweater. It made me look like a rainbow had thrown up on me. Only one tiny photo of it exists.

With Gigi the dog in 2003.

I got rid of the sweater long ago, but I thought of it as soon as I saw these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem.

$1,195 at Saks. Click to shop.

If I had the sweater and the shoes, I’d go to Pop-Tarts World in Times Square for some Pop-Tart sushi.

Then I really would vomit a rainbow, but at least I’d be dressed to hide it.

    EW! If Miss J wants to taste the rainbow, she’ll eat Skittles. Now she also knows where to go to vomit the rainbow…

    I’m kinda glad you got rid of that sweater.
    Gigi is too cute for words.
    Those boots… too ugly for words but I’m sure you could somehow make them look fabulous.
    I threw up in my mouth a little bit over that “sushi”.

    It’s right around the corner from me and yet I still can’t bring myself to visit…the boots are much more tempting.

    Oh yuck, the ‘sushi’ looks freaking horrid! Is it for real? The boots are in the same category. However, Gigi the dog is awesome!

    August 20, 2010 at 11:31 pm

    Ahahaha! The shoes are clearly necessary for such an occasion.

    hahah! this post cracked me up! also, the boots are really pretty (weird way to use this word)… if only they wouldn’t have heels! also, my first impression was that whoever is watching me wearing them needs a pair of stereoscopic glasses! =))

    All good connections. When I was little I ate pop tarts with ice cream, for breakfast whenever I could. Can’t look at them now, of course.

    How interesting, to hear Mama talking about whale vomit–she’d seen some news story about things in cosmetics and perfumes–just moments before I read your blog where you mention vomiting a rainbow. Y’all are quite the duo!

    Glad you like Duncan’s portrait–he was handsome and lovey-dovey.

    You should’ve worn the boots with the shirt while eating the rainbow sushi and a cheap snowcone from the icecream truck. : ) kidding : )
