Weird Face Bag
Not a man and not an animal--it's some sort of beast.
It has a crazy face on it with a gnarly mouth and green bug-eyes.
Is it watching for pickpockets?
Wonder if it bites the hand that tries to go inside the purse.
I can't look at this thing anymore.
Make it go away! ;-)

My Fun Socks

Happy Sock Faces
I was tempted to even buy some.
But the faces were on the feet.
So you couldn't see them around the ankle when you wear them.
If you wear the socks without shoes then you can see the cartoon faces.
However, then you also wear out these fun socks
I'm in for fun socks.
Just have to get the faces in the right places. ;-)

Hate Ties, But Love These
I hate neck ties in general, but love these specifically.
If you have to wear a tie, these strong gorgeous silk ones called Quindici by Ermenegildo Zegna are absolutely beautiful.
At a retail price of $285 each at Nordstrom's, they are not cheap, but what a powerful and confident accent for any formal outfit.
These are all for me! ;-)

Now That's A Plug!
I turn to my wife and daughter and ask if they think it would be okay for me to ask him about them.
After the look at him and me a couple of times back and forth, I get the nod, okay.
First, I had no idea those disks in his ears were called plugs.
(Now I'm a Jewish kid from the Bronx, and to me earplugs are what I use for swimming!)
I asked innocently, "How did you get your lobes that big?"
He then described this process where you start with an earring in your earlobe and over time, you stretch the hole with larger and larger insets.
He had been doing this for 8 years, but confessed that his holes could've been much larger by now.
I asked, "Do you ever take them out?"
He told me sure at night, and for showering, swimming, etc.
Curious, I inquired what he does about the big flappy earlobes when the plugs aren't in.
The young man said, "It's no problem....it just hangs there."
At this point, I thank him for talking with me, but now am laughing at the conversation as I read it over, and happy to be a little innocent and even naive to some things. ;-)

Lucky Earrings
My daughter found these lucky European earrings today from France.
- Queen of diamond playing cards
- Roll of the dice take your chance
- Lucky in love hearts
- Spicy green lucky charm hot peppers
Reminds me of something a colleague told me the other day about when your ears ring...it's right for love, and left for spite.
Anyway, thought this was pretty good luck just finding these special earrings. ;-)

A Jewelry Kiss
No, they are not really made out of chocolate., but they are in the shape of chocolate kisses!
There are different colors based on the gemstones of the person's birth month.
There are also similarly rings and necklaces in the shape of the Hershey Kisses.
What a nice way to tell someone you love them and give them a jeweled, if not chocolate, kiss. ;-)

Purple Hair Day
This lady in line at Starbucks apparently likes purple, a lot.
It seems a pretty common favorite among many women.
One that I know claims she ALWAYS wears something with purple.
When I saw her a couple of times seemingly without any purple clothing or accessories, I asked innocently, "So no purple today?"
She replied with a big grin, "Oh, it's there!"
Yikes, TMI--don't ask so many questions. ;-)

Dress For Success?
This lady took the opportunity to literally sprawl herself out on the train.
She had a rolling briefcase with the arm fully extended.
To which she casually hung her jacket with the collar sloppily up.
She slumped up in the seat, and then took off her shoe and put her foot up on the briefcase.
Then she began curling her toes--back and forth--while she listened to her iPod or iPhone (not sure which it was).
Later she threw her handbag under her seat behind her shoe.
Must've been a tough day for her or is this just her way?
I remember learning from my early days in MBA school that you should always dress at least one level up (or more)--i.e. make yourself look the the part of the job you really want.
If you see yourself in that position and can make others see you in that role too then eventually you'll be the guy or gal!
I've seen people dress up and down in the office--of course, the ones that spend the money and take the time and effort to dress for success, look pretty impressive.
At the same time, the clothing and accessories, while they may help the person look put together--sometimes are nothing more than "lipstick on a pig"--the clothes disguise the true person--and they are not very impressive on the inside.
I've heard some successful people in town preach that how you dress is absolutely critical and they chide others for not straightening their belt and shining their shoes.
This past week, I heard the opposite from someone who said he looks at people in the hot summer weather, and if they are dressed in a "coat and tie," then he writes them off, since they don't have even the basic common sense to dress for the season. This guy, while himself a boss, was literally in a t-shirt in the office!
I personally always sort of liked the Silicon Valley--high-tech dress code--like Steve Jobs--a black tee (or turtle--too hot for me) with jeans and maybe a relaxed sports coat--comfortable and freeing yet sort of casually-classy.
While some people say that the dress makes the person, I think that what is inside is what really counts--although talking off your shoes on train is not going to win you any promotions or brownie points, for sure. ;-)
