Susan Orlean Weighs In on the "Jeggings" Trend

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:44:32 -0400

…

“On most people they look like hell, but, to be honest, they are very comfortable and functional, and are essential in the fashion silhouette of the moment, which is the inverted triangle consisting of masses of thick Medusa-like hair and a poufy tunic sort of top over pipestem legs and twelve-inch stiletto heels.”…

Read the rest of her post at her blog, Free Range.

Many knitters wait until marriage before making a sweater for a significant other, or ask their affianced to sign a “pre-knitual agreement.”

These five bags represent all the clothing that I will be donating ahead of my move next month. Items that have been included either: don’t fit me anymore, fit me poorly, are woefully out of fashion, or some combination of the above.

The truth is that I should have gotten rid of much of it before my last move a year ago. But I suppose it’s better late than never.

“The next real literary ‘rebels’ in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of ‘anti-rebels,’ born oglers who dare to step back from ironic watching, who have the childish gall to actually endorse single-entendre values. Who treat old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that’ll be the point, why they’ll be the next real rebels. Real rebels, as far as I can see, risk things. Risk disapproval. […] Who knows. Today’s most engaged young fiction does seem like some kind of line’s end’s end.”
