The best high-arch joggers I ever found were OluKai’s Kia’i Trainer, which is now of course discontinued, and which I loved so much I hunted down three additional pair when I saw they were axed. :\ I’m about to start wearing my last pair, and after that I’m just crossing my fingers that their newer model of women’s…

It really is. My beloved (SO fucking beloved omg) SeaVees rubber rain boots are pretty much done-zo, and after yawning over the current options (Hunters, aka the pumpkin spice latte of raingear, plus the obligatory Steve Madden-level knockoffs of Hunters) I said fuck it and headed over to the stores that sell…
Sounds like me and Camper -- every pair of their shoes I’ve tried on has fit me so weirdly it’s like they were made for a different species, and the jump between one whole size and the next (bc of course I’m usually a half size) was WTF.
Saaaame. High arch + high instep makes a lot of shoe styles REALLY difficult. It also makes finding good walking/jogging shoes an absolute bastard of a project. :\
These are APPALLING and you should definitely get them. I’m not a super duper clog person most of the time, but I have a pair of Rebecca Minkhoff criss-cross flat sandals in a similar (slightly more green, but equally retina-blasting) color and I adore them.
I’d say those pink heels absolutely count as a stiletto. They probably just seem “less excessive” because they’re not a strappy 5.5" heel with a 2" platform. Which, good, because I am fucking tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired of that whole shiz.
Twisted minds think alike — I was considering doing a pompom “bead curtain” and this is confirmation that I absolutely should. (And then a googly-eye bead curtain, because that would be magnificently horrible.)
I don’t know who, how, or why the idea ever took root that children would not be major disease vectors for Covid. I mean, they’re disease vectors for LITERALLY EVERY-FUCKING-THING ELSE. The first few months after the bf moved in with his elementary-school-aged kiddo who’s only here like three nights a week, I was…
The thing about sparkly pompoms is that once you have one sparkly pompom you want A BILLION sparkly pompoms, and you start wondering what the best/quickest method would be for covering your living room walls with them, and should you maybe glue them to mesh or felt so that subsequent owners or tenants don’t have to…
Ty! I’m also thinking of making like a bean bag chair filled with sparklepoms, and using clear vinyl for the “upholstery” instead of net? But that would take a really long time and cost like three hundred dollars to fill, sooooo... (but it would be AMAZING)
Mmm, saltnoodlllllle. Fried Starch With Extra Sodium And No Nutritional Value is a food group, right? Right.
It IS kind of horrifying! :D I’m thinking of treating it as an art piece and titling it “The Demise Of Restraint, or, Jojo Siwa’s Bordello of Doom.”
Omg if you want to make that pillow def HMU! I can dig up the links to the pompoms I bought (it takes about $25-30 worth of them to fill a 16" square pillow), and also give you a couple construction tips of the “learn from my fail” variety because holy hell those big mesh fabrics are kind of a pain in the ass to work…
I love instant ramen SO EFFING MUCH. I don’t allow myself to buy it anymore, because I’ll go through the entire six-pack in a few days... and I cook the noodles, dump all the water, and then stir in the entire seasoning packet, so it’s basically a bowl of deep-fried salt but oh my god yum.
Psssht, pasta salad for dinner is PERFECTLY valid! Those pizzas look amazing — we keep meaning to get back into the pizza routine, but it’s just so freaking laborious (and we don’t have a grill, and concur re: unenthused about running the oven at 500 degrees in this gross weather).
Yay on all counts! And I do not know Big Bud Press so now I gotta go check them out...
Exactly. This would be a pretty minimal challenge for the digital de-agers. I mean it’s not like you look at Charlize Theron and go “oof, that’s a rough 44, rode hard and put away wet, etc.”
OTOH, they did a Jason Bourne movie with a different lead character, and most people seem to fucking hate it just on principle. (I think it’s a perfectly good film, and it’s got Rachel Weiss, and I’m not a Matt Damon superfan anyway, so.)
Holy shit this is brilliant. Except the bf does not eat four-legged pettable things, so I’d swap beef/bacon for ground turkey or Impossible and turkey bacon. Also I don’t grill (it’s 95+ degrees here daily and the only thing higher than the humidity is the atmospheric concentration of mosquitoes, so I have no interest…
