Ack. Never mind. Kitten heels on flip flops. Sheesh. I think we saw that picture last week. What next...midriff tops with peek-a-boo nipple holes?

Here's a good side-view of a kitten heel. I found a picture of the flip-flops, and they are HIDEOUS! (IMEO)

I saw a little pair of Burberry flip-flops recently. I didn't even bother to look at the price tag (as I was too bedazzled by the charming summer hats at the store I was in), but I assume it was likewise something along the lines of "obscene."

Words to live by.

Stumped about what to wear to your office on casual Friday? Try these 12 tips.


''I would never show my midriff because I love my fellow man. My rule of thumb has always been if I bend over and the mystery is gone, it's too sexy for work.'' --Anita

''A dressed-down woman often looks slightly more casual than a dressed-down man. I can't have anything sticking in anyone's mind about my appearance that might hold me back. It's up to me to stay looking professional, and it's better to be safe than sorry.'' --Jennifer

''Casual Fridays mean a nice pair of dress pants or khakis with a white button-up shirt, or turtleneck sweater and a sharp pair of shoes.'' --Deanna

''I enjoy looking 'employed' when I dress for work: a nice pair of slacks, or denim skirt with a tasteful (not a Victoria's Secret-type) top; in the winter, a blouse with blazer. Revealing cleavage and tight, high-thigh skirts have no place at work.'' --Diana

''When I look in the mirror on Friday morning, the question I ask myself is, 'Could I meet a CEO today without being embarrassed about what I'm wearing?' '' --Jennifer

''You dress for the part you aspire to. If you aspire for the gardener's job, well ...'' --miret

''As a space planner, decorator and furniture buyer, I'm often crawling under desks, walking through construction sites and attending meetings with clients. The best dress for me is slacks, flats and a tailored shirt or T-shirt topped with a blazer. I'm physically comfortable enough to do my job yet feel emotionally comfortable enough to attend a meeting with a high-level executive.'' --Dawnie83

''Even on casual days, we should project a professional image. Casual dress shouldn't mean 'anything goes.' It means that we don't have to wear a dress suit.'' --Aimee

''It just means sandals without pantyhose in the summer.'' --Flynn535

''Our company gave out a nice blue polo with the company name and logo that coordinates great with jeans. The joke is that this outfit is our Friday 'uniform.' '' --Texto

''All shirts have to have sleeves. If you can wear it to the beach, it's not to be worn to the office.'' --unnamed member

''It may be a 'casual' Friday, but you are at work, not at high school!'' --Kalsij

Are you sure we killed them? Or is there just an "intelligence report" that says we did?

There was an article in Sports Illustrated, or maybe NY times mag, or maybe both, about Uday and what he did to the country's athletes. After reading the article, you likely would be very happy that he i dead. You might be happier, however, if he were alive, chained to a rock, having his innards picked out by buzzards.

It was SI and the article enforced why the Iraqui sports program had dwindled in the past decades. Wasn't one of the punishments cutting skin and dipping in sewage? But yes, your way is better. Here's a question, what would Stephen King do? Fire Ants? Paralysis in the desert with a glass of water nearby? Snakes? Christine?

LEt me clarify. There was an intelligence report that said there was a teensy weensy chance that we killed them. Teensy. But, hey, if its good enough for the President, then its good enough for me.

Oh....but that'd be cruel and unusual. Shouldn't they be on a work detail for pre-release? Because, after all, their father was abusive and they certainly could not be really responsible for their actions...

I'm not into the TdF, but I find the discussion of it here strangely compelling. Moreso than the discussion of hockey, NTTAWWT, and way moreso than the occasional reminders of golf. I trust you all to tailor your posts accordingly.

I was surprised because I have some of the Cole-Hahn air-whatever shoes, but they are not what I would call flip-flops (and I don't wear them to work). I think mine are slides. I'd hate to think I paid $100 (or whatever) for flip-flops. That sounds silly.

They are super comfortable though, so fuck it.

It was horrible. I don't remember all of them, but they used all sorts of machines of antiquity, plus psychological tactics. I think they dipped people in acid, put them on racks, had teammates beat eachother up (and then dip them in acid), break knees and feet. If I recall, one torture was to make the entire volleyball team (which included mostly tall men) to go into a room that had 4 foot ceilings, but did not provide enough room for them all to lie/sit down, and leave them there for a couple of days. It was stuff that even in your most vivid periods of imagining cruel tortures for hated people you probably wouldn't come up with.

Were they clear plastic? My sister and I hit the Saks sale rack this weekend and saw a pair of what we could only describe as Burberry flip flop jellies.

Of course, depending on one's settings, the pages come faster or slower. I'm already on page 1400-something.

Aaaahhhhhggghghgg! Eyes............burning.................jellies........plaid........flip flops.......the horror!

Edited to add...that the only other horror I can imagine worse than plaid jellies, is plaid Birkenstocks.

Maybe that's it--as I said, I was distracted by hats. I know that "Burberrys" and "holy crap, it's a plastic beach sandal" stuck in my head. So how much were they?

Let's see: I'd like to have a couple billion in change, a fine video collection, and be sitting on a beach being completely anonymous. Make me one of the Hussein boys.

Especially now that they've been declared dead. That means they're safe since they can't get killed again.
