Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen
I loved ALL the pieces in the Alexander McQueen spring 2010 RTW collection. More couture than RTW & reminiscent of his last collection. Just beautiful...

told you
what with all my friends procreating, I've been exposed to things I wouldn't normally. Case in point: Trunk or Treat.
This is about as lame as it sounds. Basically daycares and pre-schools host this event for kids that are either too little to go trick or treating (or in the case of my friends' children, too young to remember) or who's parents fear for their safety.... at least that's what I think is the purpose of it all. In short, parents line their cars up and have candy in the trunk of their cars. Kids trick or treat at each car.
I told you, lame.
Here's what I want to say to schools: If the kids are younger than 3, they aren't going to remember, so spare them and their parents the experience.
ALSO
if your kid is just before kindergarten age, take them trick or treating, don't make they trunk or treat.
stupid.

disposable
While I was in Chicago to watch JY run her first marathon, we did an architecture tour via boat - very cool. I love architecture in general, so this was right up my alley. JY loves taking pictures. I HATE taking pictures. This wasn't always the case. I think when I was thinner and happier about the way I looked it didn't matter. Now it does. It's an issue I'm trying to work out. Anyway. I noticed a couple of people taking pictures with disposable cameras. I didn't realize a) these were still made and b) people still used them. For real. I really didn't. I wonder why, when digital cameras are so cheap, you'd chose to buy a disposable. Such a waste - both financially and environmentally. That's my rant for the day.
Don't worry. I will probably have more.

SEXY
I realize this is a question universally asked, but why do women dress like whores on Halloween?
Recently found myself on Yandy and I wanted to scream. I understand being a freak in bed, but why on Earth would you go out in public dressed like a sexy Harry Potter character? Just. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
For my one follower, here's what I've been doing that I haven't had a chance to blog:
1) found out Tony was married
2) went to Argentina
3) went to Chicago to support JY in her first marathon
4) had company in Atlanta (my Mango)
5) work, lots of it
6) booked a trip to NYC in December for a bestie's 30th birthday
7) booked a trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving
8) working out (I recently had to retake my license photo and in it I look obese, for real)
9) cleaning (never done)
10) found out I have gastro-paresis and dealing with taking 8 pills a day to make me a little more comfortable
11) saving money as a result of doctor's visits and travel
...and that's just the top 11. when I have time, I'll post, so don't be pushy.

Shameless Promotion
The Atlanta Ballet is one of my agency's clients and this Friday, October 22, their 2010-2011 season kicks off with the opening night of Moulin Rouge. If you are in Atlanta, consider going and supporting Atlanta's performing arts scene!

Dad Humor
Cray-Z sent me this today. It's corny, but sometimes we need corny to get us through a Wednesday:

Your Duck is Dead
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up
at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."
