13 6 Misc. Thursday Thoughts

1. Mr. Armani, jumping into the fray about overly thin fashion models (in Madrid recently, they forbade models with a BMI lower than 18. Medically, a BMI of under 20 is considered underweight.) “conceded that he had always used models “on the slender side”, adding: “This was because the clothes I design and the sort of fabrics I use need to hang correctly on the body”.” (Quote from Yahoo news.) OK, but then shouldn’t the largest size you sell be a 0? Because if I’m understanding you correctly, a healthy woman cannot wear your clothing and have it ‘hang correctly’. So, my advice? Either sell only to size 0 women, or start using different designs & fabrics. Asshole. (Asshole who admittedly does design some beautiful clothes. I just don’t agree with his F**KED up logic.)

2. Anyone thinking of watching My Husband’s Three Wives on TLC? No? Me neither. Well, maybe.

They’re obviously trying to get in on the Big Love bandwagon, but we don’t get HBO, so I can’t watch Big Love, and I’ll admit to being a touch intrigued by this one. I think it’s more of a cheapo reality show, rather than a scripted drama. I know, it’s sick and wrong of me, but I’m thinking about it.

3. Very cool…Maya has started guitar lessons. Her first instrument. 🙂
So far, so good.

4. Another nice thing about working from home…Maya’s feeling a bit puny this morning, and I don’t have to call in sick myself to be home with her.

5. Why is that darned laundry pile always so huge? The pile to be ironed seems to get bigger every day. One solution, of course, would be to stop washing the clothes, but that just transfers the problem to the dirty clothes hamper. Another solution would be to iron the clothes. Which I fully intend to do. Just as soon as I finish all of the other things I would prefer to do.

6. I wish I could find the perfect yoga class. I really like the teacher I have right now, but I kind of suspect she isn’t correcting my posture as much as I would like. My stepmom teaches Iyengar style Yoga, and she’s pretty darned great. She has a nice studio, and teaches each level separately. But she’s in Portland, and I’m in the Bay Area. What I’m looking for is convenient timing (earlyish on a weeknight, cause I like to be home by 7 or so), level one only (I don’t want to be slowing other people down when the teacher comes to show me things), and maybe Iyengar, with all of the props, etc. I don’t know that I’m going to find all of that on this side of the tunnel. There is a place that has Iyengar downtown, but they group their levels together. My MIL teaches, but the times are later than I would like and she doesn’t yet have the props. Maybe I’ll just stick with the class I’m currently taking.

That’s it. I was going to make this a Thursday 13, but I can’t muster the other 7 misc. thoughts. I’m sure you’re devastated. 😉
