I’m gonna go ahead and be a clichĂ© and talk about Academy Awards fashion. Because I can. However, since I hold no legal certification stating My Expertise Is Better Than Yours, I’ll keep it brief. (But you can be sure that when I get said certification I will be unstoppable). For starters. My love and affection for … Continue reading

Not so gritty
When I first put this outfit on I thought “True Grit! I need a hat!” but then after I calmed down a bit (because I don’t have the right hat, so what really is there to be excited about in life?) I thought “1940’s Depression era, I’m a sad and haggard wife because my husband … Continue reading
Selling Yourself
This is a real ad that I saw on a real website. At first I was understandably creeped out; I can only imagine what kind of men you would meet. But then I got to thinking about it and I guess this makes good sense. I mean. . . Find something you like about yourself and … Continue reading
Flattery
Saying that my skirt reminds you of Carrie Bradshaw = You can be my new best friend (this actually happened, I wouldn’t give tips on how to become my best friend*) And if you’re thinking that my skirt looks like an oil painting of upside down houses on a hillside, that would be crazy. *buy … Continue reading

I’m SO vain
As you can imagine, I’ve never heard my name mispronounced. Misunderstood, sure. I’ve definitely been call Tara, Karen, Dara, and even asked if “that’s Sarah with an S?” over the phone before, but as long as someone can read my name, there is a 100% success rate on pronunciation. Growing up however, I often felt … Continue reading
No take-backs (okay, well there’s sort of take-backs)
These two ads were in the same local paper this week. Is it really necessary to advertise vasectomies? I mean, that’s like advertising for money. Or for. . .a shower. As if someone didn’t know that they needed a shower and saw an ad and thought “hmm that shower fangle thing sure looks nifty, I … Continue reading
