Plus, they really emphasize my junk.

for my show tomorrow I got butt falsies to give me some more curves, but that made my penis bulge almost negligable, so I got a prosthetic there, but then my butt seemed to small, so i got the next biggest size false butt, now you can't tell I've got anything going on in front again. is there a rule of thumb over when to stop with the padding?

Whaddaya know, there are Appalachian Mountains in Conn so dtb really can be hillbilly mountain white trash if she wants.

Your last sentence should be your signature line!

The Appalachian Trail is right outside my window. But please, don't anybody stop in just now.

Are you saying that Mr. Browne's influence on menswear is not as profound as I have heard that it is? Interesting. Perhaps I'll need to re-think my collection of skinny jackets; deemphasized shoulders may also be an only-Browne thing.

That has to be Photoshopped, right? Right?

I have been going through the look book for the Alberta Feretti sale on Gilt, but the woman is doing looks is so terrible, she is making clothes look really awful.

I know a fashion designer who would send the most beautiful garments down the runway on the ugliest models he could find so that they did not distract from his garments. Same with his look book.

They were ugly, but unlike, this woman, at least they had decent posture and visible necks.

How can I be convinced to drop $500 on a sweater at a sample sale, if the model wearing it looks dumpy since she does not know how to stand?

Well, he does have Tom Ford and Jil Sander in his corner. But I have only ever seen one real person wear anything that looked like it might have been designed by him. And I laughed.

Pehaps oral to completion is in her repertoire.

This is one of the truly perplexing questions in life. I can't tell you how often I have sat, stunned into silent contemplation by the dilemma of how to decide whether to spend way too much money on a clothing item that will get little use based on how it looks on someone other than me if I disapprove of that other person's posture. It really makes you think.

I often wonder how many of the a listers from times past no longer post here out of shame for what they've become.

Some hold up - dtb still has her grammar, even if she's now living in an Appalachain cabin and for fun taking her enormous and constantly expanding brood of rug rats to the auto races to watch her old man and his buddies drinking in their wife-beaters, so she'll always be our classy Lauren Bacall type, some hide the decline well, but you, you keep coming back, not hiding a thing, knowing there's still a place for you, even if you can now only say that you "were" Penske, back when there was a Penske.

For the most part, I blame the ascendancy to partnership, which condition was further exacerbated by the move to the corner office with the wine bar and bidet. Otoh, I think the bidet has moderated P's politics.

In a good way or a bad way? Also, he still seems more boyishly good looking than the Mick (and botox-free).

I am wearing my black skinny jeans today, sans under-roos, same effect. The secretarial pool is giddy with gossip over it.

She may lay claim to being white trash, but it's the upscale suburban Connecticut manor version. They've got SUVs on the driveway rather than junkers on blocks in the yard.

Wasn't the original Penske from the nutmeg state?

This new posting style of yours? You can't pull it off.

the most over spending i ever did was in amsterdam- at least adjusted for income-

i was in my mid-early 20s and had a funny beard- i was in a boutique on the kalverstraat, looking at an over-priced sweater, and a male clerk walked up to me speaking to me in dutch- like he thought i was dutch! i was so verklumpf that i bought it.
