I was unable to resist trying the studded Acne skirt I posted here. Usually, hemlines that are sky-high on tall models are perfect on me. In this case, the skirt was as short as advertised. Yikes! When I told MrB that the skirt had to go back, he practically burst into tears. He thinks this…

Where the hell do memes come from? Are there elves in a workshop slaving over odd little things to pass around on teh Internets? Does Al Gore have a workshop? If he does, is he paying the elves a living wage? Anyway, you’ve probably all seen this one by now. It’s an award, created by…
