Do they think I'm this stupid?" <br />But it is also fun, like fudge sundaes or a bag of doritos fun. We read them with our lunch here at work. Total mindlessness to help us escape.<br /><br />I am trying to picture thigh high boots that would actually fit my legs...they would have to be shaped like a chicken drumstick, all big on top and normal on the bottom...ewww! Or would they be like spanx and I'd be squeezing out the top of them? lol! not cool!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346270516836690158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-2289441133973503422009-08-11T12:46:20.544+10:002009-08-11T12:46:20.544+10:00I loved this post.

Because that's exactly the kind of stuff that runs through my head when I'm reading a magazine... and remember: it's GOOD to be a cynical (read: thoughtful, incisive, aware) reader. Otherwise you'd be shelling out for those redonkulous boots. AND the gloves, and the loafers.

Not sure if it was in the print version or not, but I thought it was fun. When Ann moved to NYC, I was among those who thought she was a bit nutz, but it turned out well for her.<br /><br />http://www.marieclaire.com/career-money/jobs/articles/changing-jobs-changing-careers-3Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473089111839212328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-1249926303264679242009-08-11T07:12:28.487+10:002009-08-11T07:12:28.487+10:00Could you wear the studded loafers with the thigh ...Could you wear the studded loafers with the thigh high boots?

Having worked with children with Asperger's and their parents, it seems to me that they are making light of a difficult and challenging situation. Of course, I haven't read the article, but geesh! <br /><br />I don't think you're cynical...just realistic!Ginny Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579981666900022792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-73536455187089976552009-08-09T14:26:16.927+10:002009-08-09T14:26:16.927+10:00I have to wear closed toe shoes when I volunteer a...I have to wear closed toe shoes when I volunteer at Children's so I'm thinking those thigh high boots might not look so bad while I'm playing Rock Band with some kiddoes in the playroom... or maybe I could purchase the gloves, only wear one and try and bring back that look that Michael Jackson made so "trendy"<br /><br />Definitely something to think about, thanks for getting my mind off school work for a bit : )Cristyn Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337301366439672581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-53191238132045815962009-08-09T09:50:04.864+10:002009-08-09T09:50:04.864+10:00Is it just me or does anyone else think that snot ...Is it just me or does anyone else think that snot stains might improve the look of those BUTT UGLY gloves?Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879981735515382112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-25093828187614046242009-08-09T09:27:29.112+10:002009-08-09T09:27:29.112+10:00Chelsea's favorite part about this post: The u...Chelsea's favorite part about this post: The use of the word "redonkulous" :) <br />Love you, Amy!

When have they ever been wrong???<br /><br />Kidding. Yeah, I don't see the thigh high boots working in my life at all. But it's all about makin' it work for you. I could see maybe trying the tights with shorts thing, if only because I'm too lazy to rotate my summer and fall pants!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.com
