where's the inspiration?
well, apparently this is my forum for complaints lately...
I was looking at Time.com's top ten trends of Milan Fashion Week. Most of them come directly and admittedly from the 80s. These are the world's top fashion producers; not even they can do better than vamp up the 80s? They don't even try to make it look not like the 80s. I don't get it. It's made me lose respect for the world's fashion designers. I will respect someone who comes up with things that are truly unique and beautiful and interesting, but not someone who tries to repolish something that was already done, especially when it's still done badly!!
I will give a nod to the ones who promoted natural looks (no makeup) on models. And I will hope a day comes when designers can create clothing that is beautiful and innovative.
anyway, what do I care since I don't care about being fashionable? well, it still affects the repertoire of clothing I get to choose from in all the regular stores. so I care!

Is this guy for real???
- MICHAEL O'LEARY,
- chief executive of Ryanair, announcing that the budget airline may start charging passengers for using the toilet while flying
Airlines are out of control. First of all, it must be illegal to deny people the right to use a toilet. Same goes for offering complementary cups of water to passengers. This is people's health and well-being at stake. It's not like using the toilet or staying hydrated is optional! Not doing either one can make you very sick. Secondly, they aren't doing us a favor. They aren't lowering the cost of air travel, only superficially. Then add on baggage fees, water that you have to buy at an absurd price in the terminal (unless you want to bring an empty water bottle and fill it at an airport drinking fountain and feel like you are drinking poison), toilet fees!!! and all the rest, and you are paying more than ever. What a load of boloney. There must be a better solution.

the least we can do
Someone I know just told me about this site that a friend of hers helped put together. It's designed to be a place you can see the real stories of people in need and make a donation to help them out directly. It's really great to know that everything you give is going directly to help someone for a certain purpose, and another thing I love is that you can donate however much or little you want- whatever fits in your budget. It's really important to help people out, and I think most of us have a couple extra dollars we can handle giving. Instead of buying a bag of candy, give a couple dollars to someone who is doing their best to not be evicted. It's not a big deal, and it means a huge deal for the person you give to.
