Extra casual Friday
There was another wacky Playgirl party last night, and I intended to stick to my usual four-drink-on-full-stomach-over-several-hours plan, but party enforcer Jess got me that one last Jamesons, and who was I to refuse? So this morning, departing from chateau my beau, I couldn't bear putting heels on again and went with the only other option, flops, plus his shirt and sweater which are way too big for me. Now I look like a hobo lady* but not in a "fashionable" Olsen-twin way, and I'm all lastnightsmakeup.com. And yet I still think I had a few fellers checking me out, though they might have been considering offering me some change, which I would not have refused either. Today's ensemble is also remarkably similar to how I dressed in college. (The coat, a faux-fur '70s number that should have been retired several winters ago, I did wear in college.) I wonder why I never had a boyfriend back then?*Remember when a popular default boys' Halloween costume was "hobo"? That's kind of messed up.

This reminds me of the time my friend Wendy was offered a few bucks on the subway because she was mistaken for being homeless.
The person actually MADE her take the money.
Seriously.

No worries... I always dress like a homeless person, in the sense that I wear clothes until they rot off my body and I'm forced to buy new ones.
Also because I'm ALWAYS carrying a big bag of aluminium cans.

I'm sure you look a lot better than you think my dear. You're a purty girl.

Your friend Wendy sounds like she has good fashion style, Lioux.
Clinton, I like to carry my belongings in a polka-dot kerchief on the end of a stick; you should try that.
As a side note, at the end of the party, an unwanted admirer cornered me. Since he kept referring to the pattern on my dress as camoflauge (it was trees), I started talking about 'Nam to try to drive him away. It didn't work.

Yes, but have you ever worn the same dirty, smelly, wrinkled clothes from the night before to work? ... Uh, me neither.
