bookmark_bordera secret alteration conspiracy

So I’m out shopping and I’m looking at some pants that catch my eye. (This happens almost as often as I purchase new footwear). Before I try them on, I like to hold them against me (to see how they might look) and they almost always come up to my eyebrows.

WHO HAS LEGS THIS LONG? WHO?

The average North American woman is 5’4″. I’m not quite 5’4″ but I don’t walk around with waistbands and belt buckles at eye level either.

Who is wearing these super-long pants? Who are these giants? My theory is that there’s no real market for these garments. It is, in fact, a secret conspiracy dreamed up by drycleaners.

While not a deeply sinister plot, it’s annoying nonetheless.

Yes, in this exact style and colour. With the sparkles and shiny bits. I have worn them only once and not in my home city. I am tempted to wear them to work next week because I love them so. One of the reasons I like my job is because I could wear these boots to the office. I like to think I am in a creative profession. PR is creative. It is too.

PS … the menu is way down at the bottom of the page. Something happened to the CSS and I am too tired (plus math is hard) to figure out why…assuming I even can. I learned web things in the days of Mosaic and things have changed a bit. Plus this is a hobby so bear with me. I will get to the bottom of it (pun intended) but not today. So scroll down to navigate. Not a big whoop. Just for a little while. If all else fails, I have a friend who sometimes comments on my blog that may be able to help if I ask very nicely. I would buy this friend a very nice cup of coffee too if said help was forthcoming. Maybe even a muffin. I’m generous and stylish. But not very tall.

Update: the menu issue is now fixed. I had some bad code in a post. WordPress support has some very kind people willing to help the code-phobic.
