I'm so behind on my blog rounds...<BR/><BR/>Capris: Because you can wear shoes with them that you shouldn't wear with shorts unless you want to look like a slut, AND because you aren't constantly worried if they are riding up in your crotch. There's nothing much more unsettling than seeing a woman with her shorts all up in her crotch and she either doesn't know or doesn't care. EEK! And yes, they are cooler than jeans.<BR/><BR/>Eyelash Curlers: I love mine. I use it every day, not for men...for ME. I look less tired with my eyelashes curled...wider eyes without surgery. <BR/><BR/>SATC? I watched about 5 minutes of it before I had to flip the channel. Between the fact that I can't and DON'T want to identify, and the fact that I can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker...well, it wasn't meant to be. Same with Desperate Housewives, The Bachelor, Wife Swap, etc. <BR/><BR/>Here's a question: JeepMan and I go to the same store to buy shorts and T-shirts. We buy the same brand. His are larger, and use more material than mine. WHY THE HELL ARE MINE ABOUT 25% MORE EXPENSIVE!!!

I wear capris everywhere except work and church. <BR/><BR/>By the way, there is no way your wife purchased capris like those in the picture, as nothing in the stores actually hits at the true waist right now. It makes me feel quite old. <BR/><BR/>2. It is a little detail oriented. I don't get it either, but I have one and use it on occasion. <BR/><BR/>3. The book was neither well written or entertaining. I read it in college (not for college-- in college). It's just as self involved as the television show. <BR/>Personally, I saw Sex in the City twice (and most of its original run I was living in an apartment with free HBO). As I said in my blog, it's like the seventies came back and bought expensive shoes. <BR/><BR/>Truthfully, I think it appeals more to twenty somethings than thirty somethings, as one grows out of the self centeredness quite quickly. <BR/><BR/>Although I will say this: Barishnakov is hot. I watched the last three or four episodes in syndication last year when I discovered he was on the show(better late than never). <BR/><BR/>KarenPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765737667782111636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-19541022604773823942008-07-07T09:32:00.000-05:002008-07-07T09:32:00.000-05:00Sex and the City: I don't get it.

I saw one episode at a friend's house and that did not convince me that I'd been missing out. Bubblewench said it all for me. Eyelash curlers? I have never used them and don't get this AT ALL. Who gives a hoot? Now, French polishing fingernails -- that I'll go for. One's hands stand out. <BR/><BR/>The capri pants ARE cooler, and unlike high-waters pants, the fit is more tailored. But when we buy them, what we're buying is the hope that our butts will look as good in them as that model's. Not a hope in hell, sadly, but like the French nail polishing, it's the thought that counts.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-34190985236517874052008-07-04T20:03:00.000-05:002008-07-04T20:03:00.000-05:00ROFL, this is all so funny.

My mama told me never to do that, for some reason. Forgot to ask her why.<BR/><BR/>Eyelash curlers? To curl the lashes, I suppose. hehe<BR/><BR/>SITC? Loved it. The clothes, the shoes, the relationships. Loved the quick conversation that went in unexpected directions. And I loved the ending. Most satisfying ending of any TV show, so much so that I won't watch the movie. Seriously, even the biggest ho faced her fears and let a good guy love her, loved him back.

Capri pants are a little cooler than long pants and do offer the extra cover shorts don't, BUT in they only look good on a very specific body type that about 2% of the female population has.<BR/><BR/>2. Eyelash curler? Tried using them once or twice and almost blinded myself. I'm a dork that way.<BR/><BR/>3. Sex and the City. I confess -- almost sheepishly -- I was a huge fan. Would I like real people like that or want to live that way? No, so it's a little hard to explain. It appeals to those of us with romantic notions about living in NYC, for sure. Without question, the friendship between the four women and the hysterical discussions about bizarre sexual and dating scenarios was great. They each had very glamorous careers, they were attractive, they were always doing exciting big city things (which again, I think would get old real quick) and I think there was something exaggerated about each of the personalities that people who liked the series could relate to. Samantha was the bigger than life, confident, sexually free, independent woman. Charlotte was the hopeless romantic. Miranda was the smart, career driven one (in real life, men disliked her the most, but I identified most with her character), and Carrie was the SATC version of "everygirl". It was all over the top, but I confess, I just loved it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-43811219555630197932008-07-03T19:32:00.000-05:002008-07-03T19:32:00.000-05:00Hi Travis,Having read your entire post and the for...Hi Travis,<BR/><BR/>Having read your entire post and the forty five comments that preceeded mine, I am laughing to hard to comment!<BR/><BR/>You did a great job on Criminal Brief. <BR/><BR/>TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-11105943434705148942008-07-03T16:03:00.000-05:002008-07-03T16:03:00.000-05:00Hilarious post and comments!I’ll avoid the Capri p...Hilarious post and comments!<BR/><BR/>I’ll avoid the Capri pant controversy. ;)<BR/><BR/>Using an eyelash curler ‘opens up’ the eyes, apparently.

But I guess I don't know why I WOULD wear them. Most women look good, or okay in them, but I'm like you. I want jeans, or shorts, but I do understand some women do not like to wear shorts, but don't want jeans, either. <BR/><BR/>Never used an eye lash curler. I was blessed with long eye lashes, and I do get comments on my eyes, but no one has ever said, "Why don't you curl your lashes?" My oldest sister does cause her's stick straight out. So I do understand why some women DO use them.<BR/><BR/>I watched Sex And The City a few times, but not enough to care about it. I don't want to see the movie, either. I'm with you. It made women look bad. <BR/><BR/>And I'm with you. I don't get most women either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811460930343769653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-2318103814470557362008-07-03T13:50:00.000-05:002008-07-03T13:50:00.000-05:00Being 4'11", regular jeans always need to be extre...Being 4'11", regular jeans always need to be extremely shortened for me. When I buy capri pants, they're already like perfect, regular jeans for me; pre-made to my ankle length, no alterations necessary. Living in a hot, humid climate, however, I can say there's been times when I would've killed even just to remove an extra couple inches of sleeve or pant leg--sometimes every little bit really can help.<BR/>I'm w/you on eyelash curlers. I even bought one decades ago to see what all of the hubbub was about. I gave it a few tries, but it never seemed to do a damned thing for me.<BR/>I've never watched, read or otherwise had anything to do w/Sex & the City. It just seemed to vapid for me--even from a distance.
