my writing elsewhere

I’ve not been here much because I’ve been working on writing that I hope to send off into the world to other places, and because I’ve been trying to expand my focus to things beyond books, since I like lots of things. I’m also building a new website where I’d like to showcase all of my interests and skills, not just writing about books.

I really like fashion, and I loved being known as a quirky, stylish librarian at my old job, and now, even though I enjoy the fact that I’ve been doing remote stuff, I miss dressing up. I like reading about style, and I’d like to write about it, if not here than elsewhere.

I just moved back to Arizona and have been spending a lot of time with my nieces, which has kept me from doing other things, but it’s also been good for me to be around them. They are one of the reasons I chose to move back, and I love them and love being closer to them and love that they are so happy to see me. I’m so happy my parents are glad to have me back, even if I’m cramping their style by living with them until I find a new place of my own. I’m glad to have my big sister again. Continue reading →

I guess I’m sometimes into memes, but I also dropped the ball (no, not really) because I was too busy enjoying my actual real vacation that lasted more than three days, so I’m not putting this out until January, instead of all the other folks who do this at the end of the year. Anyway, I am not a wealthy person, nor am I generally speaking a person who does gifts for the holidays. But I do like gifting things to people I love when I think it’s something they will love, so this is my virtual basket of gifts for my favorite people.

So. The Best Stuff of Last Year for You to Try This Year: Body Edition.

I learned a lot about my body this year, from where I got my angst about it to where I learned to fat shame to what I like it to look like. More on those things some other time. Here are the things that make me feel good about my body. This is the area of my life where I’ve become a total obnoxious evangelist this year, and I’m only half sorry. Continue reading →

So this new thing just came out where you can finally have Cher’s closet from Clueless . !!!!!, amirite?

I don’t know about you, but I have loved that movie since I was about eight years old, pretty much as soon as it came out on video and my sister rented it. I was too young to totally get it, but that didn’t stop me. Like with Grease , you get a new joke or are scandalized by another bit of slang every time you watch it. It’s great.

Anyway. So this company Metail decided to finally make a version of Cher’s amazing closet computer that tells her if her outfit works or not. This has been everyone’s dream since 1995. You give it your measurements and it makes a little model, and you can click on clothes, and it’s just a little Internet paper doll. Then you can take a picture and #ShareYourCher to win a gift card or something. This is excellent, because I LOVED paper dolls when I was younger, and nobody ever wanted to play them with me.

So once I start clicking, I decide I want to customize the “model” so it looks a little bit like me. Body shape it actually got pretty down, I think. So obviously the first thing I click on is “change my skin tone.” And lo and behold, there are three options: three white options, which are so alike they make your average fashion magazine and its seven shades of white people, one shade of anyone J. Lo and darker look positively diverse. Literally, it is three white girls. They have different hair colors. That’s what makes them different. I don’t even want you to think I’m overreacting. Look at this: Continue reading →
