Food Coma
Today: Got to school at 8:45 (after hitting serious traffic on the freeway and getting panicky) for my 9:00am class in which I have a group presentation. One of my team members called me to tell me his car got booted and to see if I was still at home and could pick him up. When I said I was on campus and suggested he get a taxi he responded “I can’t afford a frickin’...

Walmart, the Behemoth
We all know Walmart is the big bad wolf. Check out this great infographic from BKLYN Dry Goods that shows just how absurd a wolf it really is. (I want to feel pride that I am a Target shopper, but honestly I’m afraid to see how they would compare.) Here are a few highlights:

Itinerant Traders of London in their Ordinary...
Spitalfields Life posted several images from William Marshall Craig’s Itinerant Traders of London in their Ordinary Costume with Notices of Remarkable Places given in the Background (what a title!) from 1804. The images were only recently found. Of course, this picture immediately stirred my subconscious and had me humming “Riiipe Strawberries, Riiipe!!!” (One of my favorite...

Some more WTFs of Fashion Week
N. Hollywood: It’s a scroll down WTF. Marc Jacobs: I honestly don’t even notice the clothes because these hats are so wacktastic. If he was going for couture alice in wonderland á la the cheshire cat, he nailed it. Mulberry: I love all their bags, so of course I want to love the clothes too. But I’m too afraid to linger on any picture because the scary huge looming owls...

SF expands its bag ban
Yay San Francisco! (Chicago, get on it!) San Francisco is expanding its plastic bag ban to apply to all retailers city-wide (with the exception of laundry services, candy stores, and “to-go” bags at restaurants). Some shop owners fought back, worried that the 10-cent plastic bag fee would drive away business, but I say, drive it away where? Every store in the area will now have the...

Weekend in San Fran
I had SUCH a great weekend in San Francisco with Kelsey!! And I miss her already. I became a connoisseur of SF public transit. Here is a snapshot: Kelsey’s apartment is super cute, but I think she wants to keep anyone from visiting her because walking up the huge steep hill to her apartment is a challenge. Also..I am out of shape. Her roommate made this unicorn that decorates their...
