False Apocalypse

[lilmissnever]

I don't know who Simon Doonan is, but I do know that he believes we are living in the End Times of style:

How did we end up living in this all-bets-are-off world where sockless Brooklyn hipsters with Edwardian moustaches make artisanal pickles while, across the bridge, desperate office chicks believe they have no social currency unless they own

Ah, the Bellevues. If I ever work again, I think the black ones will be mine, since my other black Fluevogs with the Mini heel are open-toe and thus are sometimes limited in their usefulness (like when one wants to wear hosiery.)

I am envious of the other items of clothing you describe as I am certain none of them come in a 16/18. I hear Dress Barn has some passable steampunkish items this season but I am attempting to avoid shopping; in fact I need to photograph some Fluevogs and New Rocks and assorted clothing items in order to unload them.

I bet you are adorable in those cardigans.

(Also today's Groupon can be used to get 3 dozen oysters for $30. Dining out embargo or no, I am tempted. Would you be interested in having a small shucking party? Drop me an email...)

I wear tights with open-toed shoes. I'm just gauche like that. I think that Anthropologie stocks up to a size 14, which might work with roomy, stretchy knits -- but I think that tempting you with the prospect of new clothes is probably not a good idea at this time.

I have purchased the Groupon, as has J. We are now capable of deploying 108 oysters at a moment's notice. Fear us!

To further fuel your longing to look like a 1920's sportswear ad, go here. You have been warned.

I propose that I should host Oystergeddon at Bunker 2. We will the house with people, cocktails, and oysters. Then the people will drink the cocktails and eat the oysters. We must make it so.

WHERE AM I GOING TO FIND A TENNIS DRESS YOU HOYDEN.

Then the people will drink the cocktails and eat the oysters.

This part where other people get oysters is the part I'm hung up on. Where will theirs come from? I am so puzzled.
