I feel exhausted just thinking of all the shopping required for such a lifestyle.<br /><br />Don't feel sad! Feel glad you don't have her life. I wouldn't want to spend half my life worrying about whether my labels are chic enough for this or that lunch/event. As I've never heard of this writer before your post, I'll now have to go look her up to see what sort of work she does in-between changing clothes.<br /><br />We should never get discouraged by another writer's success. There are different types of writers for different types of readers. Wish her well because tomorrow she might get ran over by a bus. For all we know she's Bulimic and secretly hates herself. The surface of our lives always offers distorted viewing.Cari Hislophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717398455999202660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-61211007650362029972011-01-17T18:36:57.166-05:002011-01-17T18:36:57.166-05:00As I write this comment I'm wearing R&R lo...As I write this comment I'm wearing R&R low rider jeans in dark wash with a smart Michael Kors blazer. I am thoughtfully kicking at my Cole Haan bag with the toe of my red LeBoutain stilettos, truly dismayed that this person is a published author, and yet I can't give my manuscript away as wrapping for a Christmas present.<br /><br />Makes you almost contemplate slitting a wrist with a studded Jimmy Choo.LA Juicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455859719049831941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-43146872976854991652011-01-16T23:47:00.295-05:002011-01-16T23:47:00.295-05:00Dear god I thought it must be satire too, but afte...Dear god I thought it must be satire too, but after a second reading I am sure that it isn't.
