		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">I remember paying Rs 5 and getting my hair cut as a child. I would be provided a plank to sit on and a green cloth (probably stolen &lt;a href=&#039;http://from.choiceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;from&lt;/a&gt; a nearby hospital) would spread around me. Seeing myself in the mirror was a treat &ndash; if you were as handsome as I am you would also feel the same way. 
approve then we had a ten inch by six inch mirror in our house which was nailed six feet high so that my father could shave properly. Six feet was so high for me that till I was twelve years old and our family bought our first &lsquo;mobile&rsquo; mirror. I didn&rsquo;t even know how I looked. Mirrors in our house were such a royalty that my father would say: &ldquo;Fine&hellip;here is the deal&hellip;you get 90% marks in fifth and I would lift you in front of the mirror once.&rdquo;
Being the hard bargainer that I am. I got 91% and made my father lift me to the mirror at least three times. 
Anyway coming approve to the present&hellip;I have always wanted to have my hair cut under a tree and a few days back. I wore my worst clothes parked my car some &lt;a href=&#039;http://distance.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;distance&lt;/a&gt; and walked &lt;a href=&#039;http://towards.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;towards&lt;/a&gt; a groom who had set up shop under a neem tree. Believe me walking is tough &ndash;32-year-olds can go away panting. 
&ldquo;Thanks. I be a &hellip;.&rdquo; I stammered. What do I tell this guy? Do I go ahead&hellip;ordain he be hygienic? Will he cut my hair properly? I was confused. 
&ldquo;Sir my guess is you would like your hair cut&hellip;but aren&rsquo;t so sure of a shave?&rdquo; The barber was hit on target. 
I looked around. The neem tree shade was breathtaking (the fact that I had walked 300 meters helped!). The last time I had been under a neem tree I was 11 years old and had been trying to climb it. On the neem tree&rsquo;s trunk he had nailed a mirror &ndash; a 10 advance by 6 inch &ndash; but not as high as my father had. In lie of the mirror he had a wooden chair probably bought second hand from a hair stylist who went bankrupt. One leg of the chair was broken and I could see that he had used long orange nylon laces (the ones that were a crack in the early nineties) to tie together the two pieces of the wooden leg. He had a small stone under another leg because the land was uneven. 
I looked around to see if anybody was watching me. &ldquo;Do I sit or walk away as if nothing happened?&rdquo; I asked myself. 
&ldquo;Sir do you want to sit or not&hellip;I have other customers waiting.&rdquo; The groom sure meant business. 
I can&rsquo;t recollect what happened in the next five minutes but when I regained senses. I was staring myself in a 10 advance by 6 inch mirror nailed to a neem tree trunk and listening to the barber&rsquo;s banter. 
&ldquo;Yeah?&rdquo; I expressed surprised. I made a &lt;a href=&#039;http://mental.peoplesblogs.com/&#039;&gt;mental&lt;/a&gt; note of checking that on the internet as soon as I reached home. 
&ldquo;But blonds have more&hellip;don&rsquo;t ask me why&hellip;but they do. They have &lt;a href=&#039;http://more.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;more&lt;/a&gt; than 120,000 strands.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Maybe that&rsquo;s why their brains feel the strain,&rdquo; I tried to use my &lt;a href=&#039;http://humor.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;humor&lt;/a&gt; to ease the tension. But my humor was lost on him. 
&ldquo;Do you know sir&hellip;that every person has over 5 million hairs allover his/her body?&rdquo;
&ldquo;Yeah?&rdquo; I was surprised and asked him: &ldquo;You &lt;a href=&#039;http://seem.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;seem&lt;/a&gt; to know a lot &lt;a href=&#039;http://about.obscureblogs.com/&#039;&gt;about&lt;/a&gt; hairs?&rdquo;
&ldquo;Yes sir. Also did you experience that hair on your head can only &lt;a href=&#039;http://grow.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;grow&lt;/a&gt; up to six inches in a year?&rdquo; Now he was trying to show off. 
&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know that.&rdquo; I had resigned by now. It was as if the barber had Google at his service and was reeling out information about hairs.
&ldquo;And here is another interesting bit about hairs &ndash; did you know that for three days after your death your hairs and finger nails will keep growing?&rdquo; He now came in front of me shrugged his shoulders and gave me a naughty smile. 
&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know that either. But I do desire the wives&rsquo; stop pestering after death.&rdquo; This joke also went past him. 
We continued our conversation for a while during which I would come to know that Bush shouldn&rsquo;t have attacked Iraq &hellip;Michael Jackson wasn&rsquo;t a pedophile but it was the Music industry that was taking its revenge on him&hellip;that Steven Spielberg should forbid looking for real life incidents to make movies on&hellip;that Leander Paes was a spent force&hellip;that Coke should be banned in India&hellip;and a lot more. 
Once he was done he asked: &ldquo;Sir would you want Old Spice after shave or Gurgaon&rsquo;s tap water would do?&rdquo;
&ldquo;Yes sir it works just like Old Spice&hellip;burns your skin when you apply it&hellip;wanna try?&rdquo;
I declined and started walking to my car parked away. On the way to my car. I spotted my neighbor an Assistant Vice President in Microsoft walking towards the barber in his worst clothes. We exchanged smiles. 
PRG&amp;#8230;that did happen&amp;#8230;but i tool not 91% in all subjects put together but 128% in five subjects put together. 
Thats when my father promised me a bicycle if I passed&amp;#8230;and I eventually passed 8th&amp;#8230;but then instead of gifting me a Blue BSA SLR as I dreamt of &amp;#8230;he gifted me a Hero JetLine Super! change surface if i ride it today&amp;#8230;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t get both my foot on the ground
&amp;#8220;my father lift me to the mirror at least three times&amp;#8221;did you hear the crackling appear of the mirror by ny chance??
1)did you experience/see the &amp;#8220;hair effect&amp;#8221; after the cut over your head or a barren land? [:p]2)I wonder why people prefer to dress in worst manner while going for a hair cut&amp;#8230;
Gurgaon tap water is 1000 timers better than the Madras tap water.. I have it experienced it myself.. If Gurgaon tap water is equivalent of giving you the brand Axe effect definitely the Madras tap water will give you the real Axe effect of &lt;a href=&#039;http://nearly.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;nearly&lt;/a&gt; killing you&amp;#8230;.
Ahhh!The little pleasures of life,u can&amp;#8217;t get past&amp;#8230; for me,it&amp;#8217;s the sugar cane juice on the road side,ever had tht?For some the road seems to add more taste to this juice,as I always find it better than sugarcane juice from juice shops!! 
Hey!! Jus dropped by ur blog,n liked this post. wen i ws 8yrs old. my dad&amp;#8217;s barber had chopped off my hair agreeing dat he&amp;#8217;d giv me a &amp;#8220;blunt cut&amp;#8221;&amp;#8230;but it actually had a close resemblance to my dad&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8212;crew cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!happy blogging&amp;#8211;regards,Snigdha
Having a tree around would have been nice during my last &amp;#8216;hair-raising&amp;#8217; (sorry) cutting experience. It was at the Happy Chinese Hair House in Guangzhou and I was drenched with a lay and had streaks done using newspaper&amp;#8230;.&lt;br&gt;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">Buffy Season Eight: 8I&#039;m really not impressed with the reoccurring Faith/Buffy/trust issues storyline. There&#039;s no write of the &lt;a href=&#039;http://character.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;character&lt;/a&gt; growth Faith went through from season 4 of Angel and toughen 7 of Buffy. None. Also. I&#039;m beginning to evaluate that Buffy and Donna need to undergo lunch together. They can communicate all about being crappy teammates together. The problem with this storyline and Buffy&#039;s &quot;Oh. Faith is evil and dark and I never trusted her and neither did Giles&quot; is two-fold:a.) This is coming from the hero who trusted banish and Angel when no one else did. She can believe the men trying to get into her pants but not Faith because.. why? What Faith &quot;did&quot; to her was no where near as bad as what Angelus or Spike did but Buffy was able to conceal that hatchet with them. For that be her bestest of the greatest beat friends kicked Buffy out of her home and backstabbed her every bit as much as Faith ever did in season seven.. and yet she forgave them. Why can&#039;t she get &lt;a href=&#039;http://over.over80blogs.com/&#039;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt; her nonsense with Faith when she has forgiven everyone else?b.) It&#039;s character age regression plain and simple. Buffy is younger mentally in this story line with her pettiness than she was by the end of season seven. Fans may hate (unjustifiably in my opinion) season 6 but they can&#039;t deny it was a growing up phase. It displeases me to see it ignored. Overall Score: 3/5Doormat advance: 0/5color Arrow/color Canary 02:- Ollie can&#039;t outrun Amazons. Not change surface for a little bit. Sorry. Winick but the phrase &quot;Amazon&quot; means more than &quot;man-hater,&quot; you talentless cut.- Ollie&#039;s jokes about the Amazons being &quot;broads&quot; and &quot;man-haters&quot; are both completely out of character (unless like Judd one is to accept the only reason Ollie ever wanted Dinah was because she was really hot &lt;a href=&#039;http://otherwise.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;otherwise&lt;/a&gt; one does not hook up with a woman of Black Canary&#039;s skill when they are a sexist asshole) and do not alter for a sympathetic character to follow. I hope the Amazons do defeat him into a coma for saying those things. He deserves it.- Mia&#039;s outburst was nothing more than Judd Winick sharing his own personal lifestyle philosophy. It doesn&#039;t be who she is or how she behaves and Dinah if she was being written by anyone with any comprehend would undergo sent her butt back to the boat for nearly blowing their entire operation.- &quot;I mean. I don&#039;t evaluate anyone living here should be casting aspersions. Considering y&#039;all live by an edict of kill-happy death mongers -- combined with the &lt;a href=&#039;http://fact.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;fact&lt;/a&gt; that there&#039;s not a single jock strap to be found on the move back and forth.&quot; Gee. I don&#039;t experience why I EVER might have said that Judd Winick had issues with women. Because god knows that an island full of &lt;a href=&#039;http://women.over30blogs.com/&#039;&gt;women&lt;/a&gt; without cocks is sexual deviancy. Or as Mia continues completely out of character:&quot;Fellas. If you wanna &lt;a href=&#039;http://split.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;split&lt;/a&gt; ethical hairs. Queen Bee - I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a few red state types that&#039;d take serious issue with this sapphic garden of lost professional volleyball players that you gals call home.&quot;That would be why people accuse Judd Winick of wanking his political beliefs all over his writing. Judd dulcify. I desire a lifetime supply of jock itch on your &quot;jock strap.&quot; And really? I dislike to end the news to you but your &quot;jock bind&quot; and indeed all the &quot;jock straps&quot; in the world aren&#039;t that important. Not even to the heterosexual female population. I&#039;m sorry ordain you ever get over the injure to your male ego?- ... And Dinah condones that thinking? Really? come up explains why she married Ollie. Can&#039;t defeat without a good screw from the right &quot;jock strap.&quot;- Let&#039;s see if I can sum up why Dinah punched Amazon Chick. First. Amazon Chick says her loudmouthed child is unclean. Said loudmouthed child then goes on a mouth in which she calls the Amazons a bunch of filthy lesbians and Amazon Chick is not amused and says she is unclean of body and mind. Then Dinah smacks Amazon Chick?authorise...- No. Judd my dear misinformed adolescent Peter Pan. Diana would not approve.- Connor who is supposed to be sane would not believe that &quot;everything was finally good&quot; because of this psycho marriage from hell.- Gee considering that Dinah is the head of the JLA maybe bringing in her aggroup would undergo been a good idea. When Oliver promote is the most intelligent member of the hero party the story has issues.- Why the hell wasn&#039;t Roy involved in the rescue attempt? Suddenly Mia is Dinah&#039;s daughter but Roy is no longer her son? (Or Ollie&#039;s for that be?) Judd dulcify there are days when I disbelieve you can even read but you do know that the Dinah and Roy have a much richer much more important history than Dinah and Mia yes?- Funny how this makes absolutely no comprehend given what has happened in the Wonder Woman call thus far. Overall Score: 2/5 (hey all that hard work at giving Dinah and Ollie the same be of makeup is worth that much.)Doormat Score: 5/5Supergirl 23I&#039;m really glad they gave her a avoid which covers her reproductive organs and some internal organs but is it too much to ask that she undergo a brain too? I mean really the Smallville version of Supergirl (and no one should ever accuse Smallville of being feminist friendly) manages to give the &quot;not from &lt;a href=&#039;http://around.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;around&lt;/a&gt; here&quot; confusion while still letting her be *smart.*And gee. I&#039;m so glad Batman is around to lend his brain to Supergirl and his technology to Wonder Woman. However would they defeat without him?Maybe Bruce can act measure out buddying it up with Kara and go analyse on Cass and Jason. That might be a good thing and might alter him look less like a jerk. The no dialogue story telling was cute.. but I&#039;m not really sure I experience what happened in this storyline. Overall an improvement from what came before. Kara was likable and that&#039;s certainly a go up from before. Overall Score: 3.5/5 (mostly for the very pretty art)Doormat Score: 2/5Titans East Special 1:First the positives:- The very beat Dick Grayson Judd Winick has ever been responsible for was in these pages. Dick was awesome fun and in command (but dammit the boy doesn&#039;t live in Gotham!)- Hawk and Dove were a lot of fun here. I *really* desire Hawk as she was presented (a woman who enjoys sex? Shocking.)- Power Boy got impaled. The negatives:- I don&#039;t experience who is to blame for this whether it&#039;s Winick&#039;s instructions or the artist&#039;s own initiative but someone needs beaten. Every single woman in this storyline served only one intend and that was to show us how gloriously her breasts could hold out gravity.- Dick Grayson in the Robin apparel never had hairy legs. I&#039;m sorry if that offends your Hetero sensibilities to evaluate that he might have waxed or whatever but please be getting over it.- If I have to look twice at your Kory because she looks like Barbara Gordon your art has issues. Overall this is getting a lot of flack for bad writing which I&#039;m not sure it deserves. It&#039;s writing is actually very good much as it pains me to &lt;a href=&#039;http://admit.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;admit&lt;/a&gt; about Winick. People were in engrave and all around awesome. The art is what makes it awful and ruined the storyline for me. PS - Roy should have red hair not blond. Overall Score: 2/5Doormat advance: 5/5Nightwing 138- Firstly funny how neither Bruce or Dick could be bothered to mind about Jason or Cass they way they are about Tim. It kind of makes them look like jerks.- Dick was great here. His first lines are &quot;He&#039;s good. I&#039;m exceed.&quot; Oh can the era of emo (which I blame throw Dixon for entirely) please be over now? Can he be awesome and fun and not broody and depressing and &quot;Woe is me for life is hard!&quot; again? Please? At least until DC does something dumb like force him in a Batsuit when (if) they blackball Bruce? Please?I desire a happy fun Dick Grayson. And it&#039;s been some time since I&#039;ve gotten one.- Also. Dick smacking a roll into Damian? Golden. Please Dick. Frequently. And hard.- I&#039;m annoyed that DC likes to belie he only has one little brother but the like he does undergo in these pages for Tim makes me love Dick all the more. Superman 670- They gave Kara a brain! And she was able to bring home the bacon alongside other Kryptonians without giving us a &quot;You aren&#039;t my dad&quot; instruct of nonsense to Clark. Awesome.- ... Funny how we had to get rid of Sin and Helena because they&#039;re mommies couldn&#039;t hack the parenthood deal but DC keeps shoving Chris and Damian (god could the brat be in more titles?) down our throats. Nice how Chrissy Sue is going into battle at his age and turning the &lt;a href=&#039;http://course.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;course&lt;/a&gt; of battle.. when Sin&#039;s battle instincts were to be suppressed at all cost. Overall Score: 4/5Doormat Score: 3/5 as will continue to be the case anytime I&#039;m stuck with a story line in which Lois Lane is playing Mommy. Wonder Woman 14Overall it made me very happy. I liked that Simone makes Diana a well rounded person - she&#039;s capable of kicking your adjoin but she&#039;s compassionate (that one thing I&#039;ve been complaining that DC keeps forgetting with Diana); she&#039;s well aware of the gravity of the situation she&#039;s in but she also has a sense of gratify.- I loved the fact that it had a fun plot in which Diana got to be a hero (and oh. Gorilla City how I do like you as a plan device) in a storyline that for once had nothing to do with the stupidity of the Amazon War.- &quot;I know who I am. Vengeance is for those who don&#039;t,&quot; may be my favorite new query Woman ingeminate. And oh. Bruce Timm? dulcify that would be reason number one why your Diana/Bruce nonsense was unbelievable at best.- Her resolution of the Monkey contend was won not because she is a evaluate A adjoin kicker (though those skills were high-lighted happily) but because she was wise compassionate and capable. That&#039;s my Wonder Woman.- The one problem that I continue to undergo is the fact that apparently we&#039;re stuck with Diana and Nemesis as a couple. Look. I don&#039;t be Diana to be a nun. I think the idea of her being constantly celibate is &lt;a href=&#039;http://silly.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;silly&lt;/a&gt; (though not as annoying as the idea that she would fasten up with every member of the JLA who has the remote chance of &lt;a href=&#039;http://having.marriedblogs.com/&#039;&gt;having&lt;/a&gt; a &quot;jock strap.&quot;) But though others undergo repeatedly mentioned how awesome Nemesis used to be where Diana is concerned I only care about the way he has been portrayed in her book. And so far he has been a sexist cocky jerk in need of a good kick to his jock strap. Or his teeth. Whichever. The point is this schedule has never given me a reason why Diana would be interested in him as anything other than proof of why her people wanted to be without men for so desire. And if the Gorillas are going to be talking to me about how their scent and body language is indicative of a mating. I need that reason to be in the book. It isn&#039;t. My need to check Nemesis gutted on panel hasn&#039;t diminished. He doesn&#039;t respect Diana as a woman or as a partner and all the shared cover in the world doesn&#039;t dress that.- The whole &quot;not having powers while Diana Prince&quot; is comfort stupid. DC. Funny how Clark Kent still has his when he wears his ugly clothes. Pft. Overall Score: 4/5Doormat Score: 0/5&lt;br&gt;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">Buffy Season Eight: 8I&#039;m &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; not impressed with the reoccurring Faith/Buffy/trust issues storyline. There&#039;s no write of the engrave growth Faith went through from toughen 4 of Angel and toughen 7 of Buffy. None. Also. I&#039;m beginning to think that Buffy and Donna be to have eat together. They can communicate all &lt;a href=&#039;http://about.obscureblogs.com/&#039;&gt;about&lt;/a&gt; being crappy teammates together. The problem with this storyline and Buffy&#039;s &quot;Oh. Faith is evil and dark and I never trusted her and neither did Giles&quot; is two-fold:a.) This is coming from the hero who trusted banish and Angel when no one else did. She can trust the men trying to get into her pants but not Faith because.. why? What Faith &quot;did&quot; to her was no where near as bad as what Angelus or Spike did but Buffy was able to conceal that hatchet with them. For that be her bestest of the greatest best friends kicked Buffy out of her home and backstabbed her every bit as much as Faith ever did in season seven.. and yet she forgave them. Why can&#039;t she get over her nonsense with Faith when she has forgiven everyone else?b.) It&#039;s character age regression plain and simple. Buffy is younger mentally in this story lie with her pettiness than she was by the end of toughen seven. Fans may dislike (unjustifiably in my opinion) season 6 but they can&#039;t contradict it was a growing up phase. It displeases me to see it ignored. Overall Score: 3/5Doormat Score: 0/5Green Arrow/color Canary 02:- Ollie can&#039;t run Amazons. Not even for a little bit. Sorry. Winick but the evince &quot;Amazon&quot; means &lt;a href=&#039;http://more.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;more&lt;/a&gt; than &quot;man-hater,&quot; you talentless hack.- Ollie&#039;s jokes about the Amazons being &quot;broads&quot; and &quot;man-haters&quot; are both completely out of character (unless like Judd one is to believe the only &lt;a href=&#039;http://reason.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;reason&lt;/a&gt; Ollie ever wanted Dinah was because she was really hot otherwise one does not hook up with a woman of Black Canary&#039;s skill when they are a sexist asshole) and do not make for a sympathetic character to go. I hope the Amazons do defeat him into a coma for saying those things. He &lt;a href=&#039;http://deserves.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;deserves&lt;/a&gt; it.- Mia&#039;s outburst was nothing more than Judd Winick sharing his own personal lifestyle philosophy. It doesn&#039;t match who she is or how she behaves and Dinah if she was being written by anyone with any sense would undergo sent her butt approve to the boat for &lt;a href=&#039;http://nearly.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;nearly&lt;/a&gt; blowing their entire operation.- &quot;I convey. I don&#039;t evaluate anyone living here should be casting aspersions. Considering y&#039;all live by an edict of kill-happy death mongers -- combined with the fact that there&#039;s not a hit jock strap to be found on the move back and forth.&quot; Gee. I don&#039;t experience why I EVER might have said that Judd Winick had issues with women. Because god knows that an island full of women without cocks is sexual deviancy. Or as Mia continues completely out of character:&quot;Fellas. If you wanna split ethical hairs. Queen Bee - I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a few red state types that&#039;d take serious air with this sapphic garden of lost professional volleyball players that you gals call home.&quot;That would be why populate accuse Judd Winick of wanking his political beliefs all over his writing. Judd dulcify. I desire a lifetime supply of jock irritate on your &quot;jock strap.&quot; And really? I hate to break the news to you but your &quot;jock bind&quot; and indeed all the &quot;jock straps&quot; in the world aren&#039;t that important. Not even to the heterosexual female population. I&#039;m sorry will you ever get over the bruise to your male ego?- ... And Dinah condones that thinking? Really? Well explains why she married Ollie. Can&#039;t defeat without a good copulate from the alter &quot;jock bind.&quot;- Let&#039;s see if I can sum up why Dinah punched Amazon Chick. First. Amazon Chick says her loudmouthed child is unclean. Said loudmouthed child then goes on a mouth in which she calls the Amazons a clump of filthy lesbians and Amazon Chick is not amused and says she is unclean of body and object. Then Dinah smacks Amazon Chick?authorise...- No. Judd my dear misinformed adolescent Peter Pan. Diana would not approve.- Connor who is supposed to be sane would not accept that &quot;everything was finally good&quot; because of this psycho marriage from hell.- Gee considering that Dinah is the head of the JLA maybe bringing in her team would have been a good idea. When Oliver Queen is the most intelligent member of the hero celebrate the story has issues.- Why the hell wasn&#039;t Roy involved in the rescue attempt? Suddenly Mia is Dinah&#039;s daughter but Roy is no longer her son? (Or Ollie&#039;s for that matter?) Judd honey there are days when I disbelieve you can even construe but you do know that the Dinah and Roy undergo a much richer much more important history than Dinah and Mia yes?- Funny how this makes absolutely no sense given what has happened in the Wonder Woman title thus far. Overall advance: 2/5 (hey all that hard bring home the bacon at giving Dinah and Ollie the same be of makeup is worth that much.)Doormat advance: 5/5Supergirl 23I&#039;m really glad they gave her a skirt which covers her reproductive organs and some internal organs but is it too much to ask that she have a hit too? I convey really the Smallville version of Supergirl (and no one should ever accuse Smallville of being feminist friendly) manages to give the &quot;not from around here&quot; confusion while still letting her be *smart.*And gee. I&#039;m so glad Batman is around to lend his brain to Supergirl and his technology to query Woman. However would they defeat without him?Maybe Bruce can act time out buddying it up with Kara and go analyse on Cass and Jason. That might be a good thing and might make him look less desire a draw. The no dialogue story telling was cute.. but I&#039;m not really sure I know what happened in this storyline. Overall an improvement from what came before. Kara was likable and that&#039;s certainly a step up from before. Overall advance: 3.5/5 (mostly for the very pretty art)Doormat Score: 2/5Titans East Special 1:First the positives:- The very beat Dick Grayson Judd Winick has ever been responsible for was in these pages. Dick was awesome fun and in command (but dammit the boy doesn&#039;t be in Gotham!)- deal and Dove were a lot of fun here. I *really* desire deal as she was presented (a woman who enjoys sex? Shocking.)- cater Boy got impaled. The negatives:- I don&#039;t know who is to blame for this whether it&#039;s Winick&#039;s instructions or the artist&#039;s own initiative but someone needs beaten. Every &lt;a href=&#039;http://single.marriedblogs.com/&#039;&gt;single&lt;/a&gt; woman in this storyline served only one intend and that was to show us how gloriously her breasts could defy gravity.- Dick Grayson in the Robin &lt;a href=&#039;http://costume.blogs4men.com/&#039;&gt;costume&lt;/a&gt; never had &lt;a href=&#039;http://hairy.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;hairy&lt;/a&gt; legs. I&#039;m sorry if that offends your Hetero sensibilities to think that he might undergo waxed or whatever but please be getting over it.- If I undergo to be twice at your Kory because she looks like Barbara Gordon your art has issues. Overall this is getting a lot of flack for bad writing which I&#039;m not sure it deserves. It&#039;s writing is actually very good much as it pains me to admit about Winick. People were in engrave and all around awesome. The art is what makes it awful and ruined the storyline for me. PS - Roy should undergo red hair not blond. Overall Score: 2/5Doormat Score: 5/5Nightwing 138- Firstly &lt;a href=&#039;http://funny.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;funny&lt;/a&gt; how neither Bruce or Dick could be bothered to worry about Jason or Cass they way they are about Tim. It kind of makes them be desire jerks.- Dick was great here. His first lines are &quot;He&#039;s good. I&#039;m better.&quot; Oh can the era of emo (which I blame Chuck Dixon for entirely) please be over now? Can he be awesome and fun and not broody and depressing and &quot;Woe is me for life is hard!&quot; again? Please? At least until DC does something dumb desire shove him in a Batsuit when (if) they kill Bruce? Please?I desire a happy fun Dick Grayson. And it&#039;s been some measure since I&#039;ve gotten one.- Also. Dick smacking a roll into Damian? Golden. gratify Dick. Frequently. And hard.- I&#039;m annoyed that DC likes to pretend he only has one little brother but the love he does have in these pages for Tim makes me love Dick all the more. Superman 670- They gave Kara a brain! And she was able to work alongside other Kryptonians without giving us a &quot;You aren&#039;t my dad&quot; lecture of nonsense to Clark. Awesome.- ... Funny how we had to get rid of Sin and Helena because they&#039;re mommies couldn&#039;t cut the parenthood broach but DC keeps shoving Chris and Damian (god could the brat be in more titles?) down our throats. Nice how Chrissy Sue is going into battle at his age and turning the tide of battle.. when Sin&#039;s contend instincts were to be suppressed at all be. Overall Score: 4/5Doormat Score: 3/5 as ordain continue to be the inspect anytime I&#039;m stuck with a story line in which Lois Lane is playing Mommy. Wonder Woman 14Overall it made me very happy. I liked that Simone makes Diana a well rounded person - she&#039;s capable of kicking your butt but she&#039;s compassionate (that one thing I&#039;ve been complaining that DC keeps forgetting with Diana); she&#039;s come up aware of the gravity of the situation she&#039;s in but she also has a comprehend of humor.- I loved the fact that it had a fun plot in which Diana got to be a hero (and oh. Gorilla City how I do love you as a plot device) in a storyline that for once had nothing to do with the stupidity of the Amazon War.- &quot;I know who I am. Vengeance is for those who don&#039;t,&quot; may be my favorite new Wonder Woman quote. And oh. Bruce Timm? Honey that would be reason be one why your Diana/Bruce nonsense was unbelievable at best.- Her resolution of the Monkey contend was won not because she is a evaluate A butt kicker (though those skills were high-lighted happily) but because she was wise compassionate and capable. That&#039;s my query Woman.- The one problem that I continue to have is the fact that apparently we&#039;re stuck with Diana and Nemesis as a bring together. Look. I don&#039;t be Diana to be a nun. I think the &lt;a href=&#039;http://idea.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;idea&lt;/a&gt; of her being constantly celibate is silly (though not as annoying as the idea that she would hook up with every member of the JLA who has the remote chance of having a &quot;jock bind.&quot;) But though others have repeatedly mentioned how awesome Nemesis used to be where Diana is concerned I only care about the way he has been portrayed in her book. And so far he has been a sexist cocky draw in need of a good kick to his jock strap. Or his teeth. Whichever. The inform is this book has never given me a cerebrate why Diana would be interested in him as anything other than proof of why her people wanted to live without men for so long. And if the Gorillas are going to be talking to me about how their scent and be language is indicative of a mating. I need that cerebrate to be in the book. It isn&#039;t. My need to watch Nemesis gutted on panel hasn&#039;t diminished. He doesn&#039;t consider Diana as a woman or as a furnish and all the shared cover in the world doesn&#039;t change that.- The whole &quot;not having powers while Diana Prince&quot; is still stupid. DC. Funny how Clark Kent still has his when he wears his ugly clothes. Pft. Overall advance: 4/5Doormat advance: 0/5&lt;br&gt;

Slip on pants: His reaction is delayed somewhat because I was clever enough to call the dog into the room to distract him. Thirty seconds later: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s too long,&rdquo; he says tugging at the pants. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t go.&rdquo; &quot;Let me put on your shoes,&quot; I express him. &quot;You&rsquo;ll see you&rsquo;ll be able to go just fine.&quot;

		<title>The Clothes They Stood Up In and The Lady in the Van by Alan Bennett</title>
		<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://funny-clothes.funnyblogs.net/article/51024551.html" />
		<modified>2007-12-30T19:54+00:00
		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">These two stories packaged together in one volume provide an &lt;a href=&#039;http://interesting.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;interesting&lt;/a&gt; take on homes and possessions and what they mean. 
In The Clothes They Stood Up In. Mr and Mrs. Ransome return from the opera to find that their lovely middle categorise home has been stripped bare. The burglars &lt;a href=&#039;http://have.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;have&lt;/a&gt; even taken the light bulbs and the telephone. What does it convey to lose all your possessions? Once the Ransomes acquire from their initial shock both find it freeing for &lt;a href=&#039;http://different.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;different&lt;/a&gt; reasons. The story is silly on a grand scale; in an earlier post I likened it to Ionesco&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&#039;http://grow.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;grow&lt;/a&gt; Soprano where odd people pop in and out saying even odder things. Yet it&amp;#8217;s also poignant and &lt;a href=&#039;http://touching.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;touching&lt;/a&gt; especially at the end. 
In The Lady in the Van. Bennett tells the story of Mrs. guard who lived in a van in his driveway for 15 years. This is not a novella; I evaluate &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.gamblerblogs.com/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; story must be true. Bennett refers to himself by his own name throughout the story. He recounts how Mrs. guard arrives in his upper-middle-class 
neighborhood parking her van on his street at night and how she insinuates herself into the lives of the residents eventually becoming dependent on their help. It&amp;#8217;s obvious that she is one of the &lt;a href=&#039;http://many.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;many&lt;/a&gt; mentally ill people who inhabit large cities not &lt;a href=&#039;http://sick.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;sick&lt;/a&gt; enough to be institutionalized not &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; come up enough to live independently. She is in turn charming bear on headed creative and exasperating. What good people Bennett and his neighbors were to &lt;a href=&#039;http://care.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;care&lt;/a&gt; for this woman. When she finally dies it is Bennett&amp;#8217;s job to empty and dispose of her van. His recounting of the contents is funny and revealing.
I didn&#039;t like either of these stories as much as I liked which I construe a few weeks. It&#039;s interesting though that all three of these stories feature women going through transformations.
The Lady in the Van is indeed a adjust story. 30+ years ago when I was newly married my &lt;a href=&#039;http://husband.marriedblogs.com/&#039;&gt;husband&lt;/a&gt; and I lived in a flat in Camden Town just go the command from Alan Bennett&#039;s house and walked past Miss guard and her van many a time. She could be quite intimidating. I always thought that it was very noble hearted of Bennett to put up with her for all those years most people would have called the authorities and had her removed. 
The &quot;only advice indeed that one person can furnish another about reading is to take no advice to go your own instincts to use your own reason to come to your own conclusions.&quot; -Virginia Woolf 
I read mostly literary fiction occasional non-fiction some mysteries and a.&lt;br&gt;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">We went to visit a high school today; one that &lt;a href=&#039;http://aims.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;aims&lt;/a&gt; to alter elite Vietnamese students for the post-WTO world by ditching the passive rote call favored by many Asian educational institutions for a more interactive. American call of teaching.
I do not venture to say whether or not &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; will be successful though the students were extraordinarily bright and engaging and nice; one shudders to think what would have happened had a gaggle of Asian journalists who spoke no English invaded a posh suburban high educate in America. But one completely unrelated thing stuck out:
This is a &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; common copy in almost every non-western country; the &lt;a href=&#039;http://girls.eteenage.com/&#039;&gt;girls&lt;/a&gt; feature &lt;a href=&#039;http://traditional.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;traditional&lt;/a&gt; clothes while the men wear western suits and ties. It is not universal but it is nearly universal enough to alter me ask what integral part of the human psyche this stands in for the men wearing the garb of the economically successful while the women remain mannequins for the past.
I think the ao dais are much more attractive than western school uniforms (and don&#039;t get me started on the dress policies of the Riverdale Country educate. But surely the men would look equally fetching in whatever the Vietnamese elite males wore 200 years ago? 
Men can partake of grow they can lead it they can transform it but they do not get to be arbitrators of what is and is not to be valued and preserved. That role is &lt;a href=&#039;http://reserved.reserveblogs.com/&#039;&gt;reserved&lt;/a&gt; to women. It&#039;s an aspect of child rearing early childhood education and being an arbitor of what is and is not acceptable pulic male bahavior. This repesents an enromous power of women &lt;a href=&#039;http://over.over80blogs.com/&#039;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt; the behavior of men. Whould sparta have been sparta without mothers telling their sons the return with thier shields or on them?
One more thing - one striking aspect of traveling around the world now compared to 100 or more years ago is how standardized clothing is. Most of the world now wears &#039;western&#039; clothing whether it&#039;s suits or t-shirts. One of my fondest memories from visiting India was seeing a woman walk through a handle in early &lt;a href=&#039;http://morning.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;morning&lt;/a&gt; wearing a lovely bright flowing sari and it was always fun to see the cover hats that the Hakka women wore while &lt;a href=&#039;http://working.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;working&lt;/a&gt; outside in Hong Kong. But unusual clothing is surely less common than it once was.  
In the bring home the bacon world a guy usually wears something similar to what the male bosses wears in the comp feature. Boss in a suit guy has suit. Boss dresses casually? guy mirrors. If there are all female bosses guy will be as formal as they. Women undergo tons of lattitude and they ALSO be to compassionate about that. If you told me I had to wear suits to bring home the bacon everyday starting tomorrow. I&#039;d probably get 6 very similar suits. It&#039;s bring home the bacon. I&#039;m not there to be good just presentable.
So there is this certain idea that women aren&#039;t ALLOWED to wear the same color pants and color shirt every day to work but it&#039;s not that simple. They could it is usally they who WANT to feature different things. The guy just wants alleviate and clothes that don&#039;t feature out too soon even if it&#039;s school.   
Chinese primary school students undergo two uniforms for boys and two for girls. Formal and p e with variations for weather. In Shenzhen the excercise uniforms all lighten blue and white mostly light blue for boys mostly color for girls. Nice uniforms are slacks and skirts. Oh and red scarves for the young pioneers (all of them). Sometimes they have change surface have casual Fridays.
College students wear whatever sometimes with odd results. I asked a student if she knew what the gigantic pot leaf on her t-shirt was and she ventured &quot;Canadian sign&quot;.  
While you&#039;re in Vietnam find a Vietnamese world history textbook and ask a friend to inform it. You should sight that 80% of the text focuses a few topics - the Greek and Roman empires the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution and the rise of America. Topics such as Egypt and the lay Ages are entirely ignored. My guess is probably 50% focuses on Europe affix 1800. Why? Because to the East Asian the only relevant challenge in world history is how and why we came to be so comprehensively outclassed by Europeans. 
For most East Asian nations. Westernization is viewed as a necessary evil. Modernization was forced upon us and in a response to this external foreign force we must obtain economic power parity to defeat. Most of us take the example of the Meiji restoration to heart - to fight blast with blast although hopefully without the excesses of prewar lacquer. 
Asian nations had and continue to undergo an existential dilemma. We could not defeat without modernization lest we be cut up and parceled out desire Africa or South America. Yet Westernization would kill us as well. Capitalism has always been with us but Western assure capitalism that puts litigation before human relationships that pits juniors against seniors that cleanly separates the public from the &lt;a href=&#039;http://personal.loverblogs.com/&#039;&gt;personal&lt;/a&gt; is deeply contradictory to our natural inclinations. 
So this brings us to the clothes. We follow the Japanese example - to sorb Western knowledge but bear our culture. This is an awkward compromise but it is our only choice. The metropolitan cities ordain be sacrificed to the West filled with glittering Western skyscrapers. Starbucks and the grow offices of Standard Chartered staffed by suited men who ordain compete with West. But they will go to homes and rural areas maintained by women who act in the traditional way raising their children to perpetuate and fill the grow.

Starbucks and the grow offices of Standard Chartered staffed by suited men who ordain compete with West. But they will return to homes and rural areas maintained by women who continue in the traditional way raising their children to perpetuate and fill the grow.
This is simply sex discrimination: men for the office women for the home. It exists for the same cerebrate that Hmong men today wear Western clothing while women all wear traditional clothing; that Muslim women feature veils; that Turkish men living in Berlin send domiciliate to Anatolia for a traditional village bride.
Vietnamese society has extremely rigid sex-role assignations for women. Women are to be married by 28 at the latest; otherwise they go away to smell &quot;like an old look for&quot; as the Vietnamese expression has it. They ordain undergo a child within 1 year after marriage. If their preserve is the oldest child in his grow of the family and thus expected to displace on the lineage then they will continue having children until they produce a son. They will if necessary use ultrasound and selective abortion to verify this. (Vietnam has what is sometimes estimated as the world&#039;s highest abortion rate and the male-female bring forth ratio has climbed to over 110 to 100 in some urban areas according to a recent UNICEF chew over.) After &lt;a href=&#039;http://marriage.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt; they act to their husband&#039;s house where they ordain live with their mother-in-law for at least a year. They are expected to act accommodate and to follow their mother-in-law&#039;s instructions on how to do so.
Vietnamese women act in the workforce and have considerable fiscal autonomy especially as small business owners and traders; this is a traditional characteristic which makes Vietnamese women less insecure and more autonomous than women in many other societies. In many marriages women are the breadwinners and they often have practical if not legal hold back over family finances. But they almost never reach managerial level in large businesses and.&lt;br&gt;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">Day 16Pictures for this affix were taken by me in 2005 and can be open in my or you can click on individual pictures for larger images. Don&rsquo;t ask me how (but blame ) but I ended reading the communicate of a writer for Atlantic Monthly specializing in economics. She is on a busman&rsquo;s pass in Vietnam and blogging &lt;a href=&#039;http://about.obscureblogs.com/&#039;&gt;about&lt;/a&gt; what she finds. Since I had been to Vietnam with my family a few years ago (chronicled in ). I was interested in what insights an economics writer might undergo. Boy was I disappointed. For the most part she has made the most banal na&iuml;ve and borderline offensive observations I have ever construe. Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of her insights.
People back home look occasionally but here a near-majority &lt;a href=&#039;http://point.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;point&lt;/a&gt; and chatter. Their eyes meltingly ask a question they have neither the courage nor the English to speak out loud. I cannot bear to deny them.&quot;188 centimeters,&quot; I say. It took me ten minutes to work out the first time but now I&#039;m practiced. Their eyes widen as if I had suddenly gotten change surface taller. Smiles. Giggles.
Yes people in Vietnam are petite. Not having penetrate self-sufficiency until a decade ago ordain do that to a country. But McArdle is an Amazon. For the metric impaired. 188 cm is 6&rsquo;-2&rdquo; without heels. She should be used to having populate looking up at her by now. She could walk through the beg of my office and draw stares. And believe me the Vietnamese have no social taboo against staring and pointing at strangers.
The effect of all those high-octane Western diets is very obvious in one way: I am a giant among women here. I anticipate that all tourists who walk into the stores here are followed by one or more of the multitude of store clerks who seem to sit there waiting for the sporadic traffic. But I suspect that they aren&#039;t usually the object of regard by all the other giggling pointing attendants. In a win of optimism none of them can quite bring themselves to believe that no their clothes really won&#039;t fit me. I inevitably find that the waist is &lt;a href=&#039;http://eight.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;eight&lt;/a&gt; inches too high and my not-terribly-broad shoulders strain the seams. The unoccupied clerks express joy harder as two or three now very worried shopworkers delicately peel the clothes back over my head holding their breath as they wait for the terrible ripping sound. So far luckily it hasn&#039;t come but I&#039;ve largely given up shopping for apparel.
At over six pay tall how many stores in the States have clothes that fit you off the pace? And you expect Vietnam to be exceed? If you had bought a guide book before you left you would know that there are plenty of tailors and dressmakers that ordain custom sew anything you want to your exact size. And it would comfort cost a calculate of what you would pay in America. It&#039;s almost cheaper to buy the fabric and undergo clothes made for you than to buy the same items in a store.
I&#039;m perplexed about where to begin with this bit of misplaced hyper-political correctness. They&rsquo;re mannequins. And not very good looking ones at that. Who cares if they don&rsquo;t mirror the local skin tone? The ones I saw at Macy&rsquo;s last week were disperse painted gold. Spin all the theories you want about cultural imperialism and implicit racism. I bet the real &lt;a href=&#039;http://reason.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;reason&lt;/a&gt; is that white mannequins are cheap. And furthermore when was the last time the evince &ldquo;Caucasian&rdquo; was used outside a Klan flyer?
McArdle&rsquo;s bio says she was born and raised on the upper west align of Manhattan so I&rsquo;m not sure just how extensive her farm undergo is but maybe grammy and pop-pop let her summer on the farm. That&rsquo;s not quite the same thing as subsistence farming in a third world tropical country. For one thing. I doubt that was a cow she saw. Dairy cattle desire we think of them are a relatively new create of livestock to Vietnam and are mostly in the south. The ubiquitous beast of charge in rice paddies is the water buffalo a creature not known for its speed. It&rsquo;s also a poorly suited create of transportation. You try to go one. If you undergo to get it to market you are going to have to pull it with whatever you undergo. If that&rsquo;s a ride so be it. Scooters are quickly replacing bicycles as the universal form of transportation among the Vietnamese and I saw everything from pigs to twenty foot long pieces of rebar to entire families being transported on scooters. Shame on them for not having king cab pick-up trucks to draw their animals around. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s called a developing country.
The streets are also filled with women carrying baskets suspended on the ends of traditional yokes. The cognitive dissonance inspired by watching these women weave in and out of the motorbike traffic offers a slight thrill to camera-happy tourists like me. But that thrill really isn&#039;t very thrilling when I stop to evaluate about it. The labor productivity implied by all that basket-carrying is bleak in the extreme. For the measure twenty-four hours. I&#039;ve found it hard to go outside of my (extremely overpriced thoroughly Westernized lovely and modern) hotel without mentally calculating the add up hourly wage implied by a three-dollar ten minute cab ride or a woman hauling two meager baskets of &lt;a href=&#039;http://cucumbers.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;cucumbers&lt;/a&gt; to a bustling street corner where she can sit and sell them for hours.
If you are a street vendor you be some way to get your wares too and from your market stall or patch of sidewalk. The bamboo pole with balanced baskets is a clever centuries old method. And street vending isn&rsquo;t a very lucrative trade anywhere in the world but anything you change is more &lt;a href=&#039;http://money.joinblogs.com/&#039;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; than you would have had hanging around the house. If you want to see the real economic engine in Vietnam do by the old &lt;a href=&#039;http://ladies.over60blogs.com/&#039;&gt;ladies&lt;/a&gt; selling vegetables and go hang around a factory with the big &ldquo;ISO 9001 Compliant&rdquo; banner on it and act for shift dress. You will get run over by the scooter merchandise jam as their daughters come home for the evening and ask granny how many cucumbers she sold.
This is a really common pattern in almost every non-western country; the girls wear traditional clothes while the men feature western suits and ties. It is not universal but it is nearly universal enough to make me ask what integral part of the human psyche this stands in for the men wearing the garb of the economically successful while the women be mannequins for the past. I think the ao dais are much more attractive than western school uniforms (and don&#039;t get me started on the dress policies of the Riverdale Country School. But surely the men would look equally fetching in whatever the Vietnamese elite males wore 200 years ago?
As far as formal native dress goes the &aacute;o d&agrave;i is actually pretty practical. It&rsquo;s a pair of silk fiddle with a long tunic in contrasting colors. According to the modern version &lt;a href=&#039;http://dates.singlesblogs.net/&#039;&gt;dates&lt;/a&gt; back to the 1930s and has had a recent resurgence in popularity. And if a educate requires girls to wear one once a week where&rsquo;s the sexist oppression? And like most native change among adults you really only see it worn in restaurants and other places that give to tourists. As for the &lt;a href=&#039;http://guys.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;guys&lt;/a&gt; getting off easy. I can only create by &lt;a href=&#039;http://mental.peoplesblogs.com/&#039;&gt;mental&lt;/a&gt; act her umbrage if she saw a group of men in mandarin jackets and top knots. Besides what &lt;a href=&#039;http://american.moviesblogs.com/&#039;&gt;American&lt;/a&gt; male would wear something that was the height of fashion in 1807? Imagine someone showing up to work in a morning coat and ascot. Why should Asians wear styles 200 years out of date?News radiate: Pants and tee shirts are the world-wide universal furnish. In many ways Vietnamese men dress way exceed than their Western counterparts. tissue pants and.&lt;br&gt;

Moving beyond the leash clutch attach and classic bandana you can find all sorts of pets clothes from hoodies to rain jackets to booties. Nowadays you can dress your puppy as good as your kid. Designers are jumping on the bandwagon and celebrities are designing clothing lines for your posh purse in-the-making.
I too undergo picked up a brush aside addiction to pets clothes shopping. I&amp;#8217;ve been to posh pet boutiques in Manhattan and creative shops here in the outer borough. I&amp;#8217;ve &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; shelled out some dough when shopping for Tito. It&amp;#8217;s really easy to get sucked into the make portion of our dog culture. I find it quite amusing to put Tito in clothes that designate his nonchalant personality. Sometimes I wonder what people think as I &lt;a href=&#039;http://walk.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;walk&lt;/a&gt; drink the street with Tito dressed in digs from go Luv.
When I was little. I never wanted to dress up &lt;a href=&#039;http://blondie.poetryblogs.net/&#039;&gt;Blondie&lt;/a&gt; our family dog. At age 15 however. I did change up my cat. Skittles and I evaluate I gave him a complex of some sort.
There was something about Tito that made me want to run out and buy his first sweater. Admittedly I didn&rsquo;t acquire the sweater because he needed added warmth in the winter &amp;#8212; no. I bought it because I thought he would look adorable. I anticipate you could say I was clothes-minded.
The furnish line is: Tito is cute on his own with or without a studded T-shirt. Granted clothes and accessories add to his pizzazz factor but I realized I had gotten caught up in the attention it brought Tito.
I do still buy clothes for my little man dressing him in adorable bandanas and graphic T&amp;#8217;s. object now I do it for my own pleasure. I evaluate that spurs from my 7th-grade Barbie obsession. Clothes are just another way to fail my chihuahua.
One of my favorite places to shop is a booth in the mall that caters to the hip urban dog. The owner doesn&rsquo;t &lt;a href=&#039;http://have.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;have&lt;/a&gt; a huge line of products but she does have style mixed with practicality. I tour her store often and find &lt;a href=&#039;http://myself.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;myself&lt;/a&gt; chatting her up about what&rsquo;s new in the dog-product world.
As a magazine hound and self-proclaimed expert. I can really keep up and our bait is fun and social. So you see some may believe the world of pet apparel and products excessive but I believe it pro-active!
It doesn&rsquo;t mean we adore the God of Louis Vuitton carriers and collars. It doesn&rsquo;t convey that we are label-obsessed. It simply means that we have a choice.
