What I'm Reading This Week #17

Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot!  Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere.  They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it.  Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?"   7,422.   I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!!  You listening up there, Sir or Madam?  Can we please be done??  The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place.  Rat bastards.  The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them).  This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years.  Th...

Hump Day Poll: I Hope There Are No Pictures


What has been the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn?

I'm going to defend this by saying I grew up in the MTV era when they actually played music with outrageous outfits.  So at age 8, I dressed like a Studio 54 reject to see Berlin and Thompson Twins in concert.  I don't know why, but I thought it would be totally bitchin' to wear a silver sequined tube top with matching silver sequined beret, red ruffled mini skirt, red bobby socks and pink jelly shoes.  Let that sink in.  Thank GOD there are no photos of that atrocity.  But I wasn't alone because a hot gay couple in front of us had one of the two guys wearing a silver sequined plastic trench coat and he turned around and was like 'cool outfit' and I said 'you too.'  I'm sure he was saying it ironically at 22 but it made me feel like I'd made the right choice.  I hadn't.  I'm surprised my tween boobies didn't get exposed dancing because those of us who lived through tube tops know how well they stayed in place.  Moreover, I don't know how much thought this was a good look.  I won't tell you we took the sequined ensemble back the next day.  (Don't clutch your pearls!  This was a common practice back in the day, so much so there's a Three's Company episode about it. 😋)

  1. It was the 80s - sequins were in. I'm sure he thought the effort you put into the outfit was fantastic even if the red socks/pink jellies were a questionable choice. lol. I was never a sequins girl - but I made my own share of awful fashion choices (pink velour sweatshirt that I wore everywhere all the time. *shudders*). So glad there was no social media back in the day.

  2. 80's here too. I put sun-in in my hair and it was bright blonde and then I wore Jams shorts with a bright blue shirt and white sport coat and went to dinner with my parents at a fancy restaurant dressed like that. Nobody even batted an eye but when I see myself in pics from that day I cringe every time.

  3. I had these crazy idea that wearing an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt with a jean mini skirt with floral long underwear underneath and turquoise Converse high top sneakers would be a good look. And I wore it often! Along with purple hair. It was a scene, man.
