The materials listed for these shorts are leather and exotic. They forgot to mention the main material, ugly.

The Pits!!

Oh, dear.
During my commute this morning, I was sitting adjacent to a couple who may have been overserved last night. Their conversation immediately brought to mind one of my favorite Dorothy Parker short stories. I’m thrilled that I was able to find it for you. Enjoy!

It’s hard to believe I’m writing another one of these awful notes, and only a week after the last one. I don’t recognize this world. I don’t know where all this hate and violence is coming from. Leaving the analysis and problem solving to bigger brains than mine, I’m going to just keep on keeping on with the beautiful things and hope that some day soon we don’t need them quite so much. Wishing us all better days. ❤

This has been making the rounds on Facebook for a few days, so I’m assuming most of you have seen it. However, I’m on a new diet which has left me a bit daft and full of feels, so I’m sharing it anyway!
Here’s one of my favorite singers singing my favorite song (with the help of 1500 of his friends).

All I Ask
At a time when it seems like we are constantly bombarded with news of violence and death and intolerance and unrest, we all need something beautiful. This blog is my small daily contribution. And while it never feels like enough, I think it’s important that we continue to work hard to put out more good than bad in the world. I wish us all comfort and peace. ❤
