american apparel, feasts and famines

however much i love the idea of plain simple clothes made not just in the usa but right down the road from me, i really really really dislike american apparel (yesterday's groupon... it was probably a good thing:) and ps who is their stylist...? and photographer???! these pictures are sooooooo tragically horrible!! i am assuming (at the risk of making an ass out of you and me) that these pictures were submitted by customers???!




on my list of things to do next week, i want to dine at mozza and go on my murder tour of LA (we already did the Sharon Tate house - sooooo many times but my map is a cornucopia of other crime scenes :)

today i:

  • baked a batch of truly awful brownie cupcakes
  • bought Danny a pillow pet (dog) for christmas - he LOVES them
  • heard the disney electric light parade song at school, and flashed back to a thousand warm friday nights watching it with Sam when he was little :)
  • photographed 394 rainbow colored schoolchildren in one single picture
  • did a little christmas shopping at the school book fair
  • helped in Danny's class - the teacher prepared a huge thanksgiving feast, but all the kids ate was the oreo cookie turkey :)
  • hosted a playdate for three really awesome little boys
  • had chickenless enchiladas for dinner (sooooooo good!!)
  • baked two batches of madelaines for the cat shelter's bake sale
  • watched the Real Housewives of BH - i really hope the whole world is in agreement with me that Camille is the most insidious vile creature in the whole world. or the whole world has gone mad....
  • made a mercy dash to Trader Joe's for eggs and butter - they were serving gingerbread coffee and almond cookies
  • bumped into Pedro Hernandez - he has a much squarer head than he used to have - hmm
  • bought pumpkin waffle mix and pumpkin bread mix
  • and salted caramels from my children to give to me for christmas :)
  • baked sugar cookies for the cat shelter bake sale
  • listened to 'mystery girl' by Roy Orbison twice
  • and 'drive' by The Cars just once... because it still, 26 years later, reminds me of this video
