only the real edgy topics

If you have ever heard the wheezing noise a pug makes, you know that for them, every gasp for air is daunting chore. I can’t decide what is so disheartening yet so irresistibly adorable about these helpless creatures. Is it that their skin is a perilous cocoon that overheats and unfolds over their tiny (almost nonexistent) face, or that their eyeballs are rejected by their own sockets? 

Put a pug in a costume and give it a human name like Henry, Kevin or Janice and you have a wondrous little hybrid. In this case, it's the cross pollination of Shelby and Teen Wolf.

                                                         

"I realized after making the costume, that the mask could easily double as a Dr. Cornelious Planet of the Apes costume. Others have mentioned that Shelby could also be an Ewok. I'll have to keep this pattern in mind for upcoming years."

Why didn't I think of this?

re: “dad jeans” (beeper, leather cell phone case and a bluetooth earpiece not included)

The iPad, a new toy for technologically savvy folks and those who experience a near-orgasmic frenzy of physical and emotional enjoyment from unnecessary little gadgets. Well for some fashion bloggers, it’s an open door to critique ill-fitted denim.

This may just be the first and only time I will read the words “Steve Jobs" and "Manorexic” in the same sentence. Unless of course Jobs is getting his fashion pointers from Kate Moss or that one Olsen twin...

Lip Synching in the Rain

When winter boots aren't going to cut it, Milli Vanilli quotes will. 

The other day I watched a girl proudly dominate a deep opaque puddle in her rain boots, just to prove how resilient they really were. It's true, when you have rubber boots or a solid pair of Sorels, you are morally obligated to traipse through the most hideous mounds of slush, snow or miscellaneous street sludge (if you live in Toronto).  This past summer I stumbled across these puppies here. In retrospect, I wish I would have bought them, just for this reason.
