Ladies: Nice and Not-So-Nice

I'm shipping out "Nice Lady" today to a *special person* who lives down in L.A. I hope she likes it. To all my other Nice Lady Friends: now's the time to purchase some GlinkArt at rock-bottom prices before I become Hella-Rich-and-Famous. C'mon, you know you have lots of cash laying around and nothing to spend it on.

Not-So-Nice Lady Department: Sarah Palin makes me ill. I so hope she disappears on November 5th, though I know that this will not happen. Her Right-Wing ignorance and intolerance push my buttons big-time. She's such a fucking phoney. This woman must not ever become President!

There, I've gotten that off my chest.

I couldn't have said it any better myself!

The economy's going to Hell but at least I have a cool new shirt.

Oy Oy Oy things are looking really bad right now. I just had to watch and listen to BushFace on my TV more than I ever wanted to. My little mutual fund nest egg is suffering.

But I bought this shirt on Haight Street yesterday for $18.50, so I'm just going to be superficial and focus on that. I'm curious what the reaction to it will be when I wear it to work this weekend. It's by a company called Modern Amusement based down in Southern California. It's about as far from the Polo Ralph Lauren aesthetic as you can get.

Still The Sartorialist...

Surrounded by clothes all day long as I attempt to eke out a living at a major department store, I am continuing to find huge inspiration in the archives of The Sartorialist blog.

Some of the clothes in the brand I sell are what I might describe as "preppy-clown"-- bright colored plaids, stripes, etc. They amuse me, but I am afraid to buy them! (I do try them on, lol) So I am particularly awestruck by the clown-like dandies I am discovering in The Sartorialist blog.

Pictured: a person named Patrick McDonald; not sure what he does but it's something related to fashion, I would imagine. I suppose I could Google him, by why bother to do something that John McCain didn't seem to feel was important enough to do with the lovely Ms. Palin????
