Instantaneous Shamefaced Heft

Since you endured my spam buddy's names yesterday, I have a better spam link today:
Alex Dragulescu , a guy who makes spam messages into graphic arts images. Who knew they could look this good?

Hang in for this one, it's worth the wait.


I just got a pile of advertisement e-mail including one from Nordstroms I check through- OK, it's because I saw a bag there last time I strolled through and I wanted to see if they still have it- they did AND also another one in a small clutch that I can possible afford- I won't need a big bag because if I buy the clutch I will have nothing to put in it except an old worn-down lipstick. But while I was looking through the offerings I came across a line of Jessica Simpson bags and shoes. I am talking also about JLo and what's-her-name with L*A*M*B and Beyonce and probably scads more that I don't kknow about because I don't 'do' Macy's. Now tell me please, WHAT gives these chicks the chops to call themselves designers? Why do REAL designers struggle against such high odds of ever getting a line sold, and once a singer has a name there they are, up front at the fashion shows joining in with their so-called design lines. I do know that they don't do anything but license their names but geesh, can't we get a break from all this celebrity?

And my horror-scope today says: Defending your position is the right thing -- even a noble thing -- to do.

And nowI have to go do the thing about quiltiing I hate the most- adding the binding.
