I don’t know who Alexa Vega is. All I know is that I don’t like what she’s wearing. I also think she’s REALLY working the old school Lindsay Lohan look. You know, before Lindsay went crazy and started with the nose candy and having very public tantrums about nothing at all and pretty much single-handedly [...]

Again. That’s right, this is her second time appearing in the Unfugged category because GIRLFRIEND CANNOT PULL IT TOGETHER. So let’s see if we can fix this…this mess going on in this general vicinity. Here we are. Oh, honey, no. See, I get what she was trying to do here. At least, I think I [...]
This kind of advice can only help during discovery

This is another conversation with Mama Hoomster, an emerging star here at TRPLS (Terples). For some context, this conversation involved a $50 Visa gift card that she was giving me. The card came in an envelope with a letter saying it was a holiday gift, blah blah blah. It was from a certain school that [...]
Chicken Soup for the Non-Muslim’s Soul: A mini-lesson on Hajj
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me, Islam/Culture on November 27, 2009 | 11 Comments »
I did a mini-lesson on Ramadan a while back, and since today is Eid-ul-Adha, I thought I’d do a mini-lesson on Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah (Saudia Arabia) that constitutes one of the five pillars of Islam. [picapp align="none" wrap="false" link="term=hajj&iid=3148633" src="2/d/b/5/4e.JPG?adImageId=7883622&imageId=3148633" width="380" height="270" /] Yeah, see all those dots? Those are [...]
Business Casual Superstar #94: Unfugged: Eva Longoria

Now, I don’t think this is too bad, but the long sleeve is just killing it. It makes it look like Eva was getting the dress sewn onto her and she’s such a petite thing that she just got sucked up into the Singer and now her arm’s all stitched up with silk and it’s [...]
NBC’s “The Office” and Labor Law
Posted in Law Skool on November 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I love it when things connect and come full circle and all that stuff. That’s why I loved this case when it came up in my Labor Law class: because I’m a huge fan of NBC’s The Office, and it reminded me of the episode “Ben Franklin,” where the guys and gals throw a bachelor [...]

Business Casual Superstar #93: 5 under $50: Not for Prudes
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Collections on November 26, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Okay, guys, things have gotten kind of ridiculous. Because I’ve bought dresses, skirts, sweaters, tees, pajamas, unmentionables, shoes, AND the odd lip gloss or whatever from Vicky’s Secret, I get just about every single catalog they put out (hee, put out) delivered to my house. I get one practically every single day. This distresses Mama [...]
Business Casual Superstar #92: Unfugged: Blake Lively
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Makeover on November 25, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Well, actually, I think Blake Lively looks cute. Yes, I know, she’s wearing a DEEP plunge jacket with NOTHING but her sweater puppies underneath and a pair of black booty shorts, but still. She looks cute. Would I ever wear this? Not on your LIFE. But Blake is tall, she’s pretty, she’s in her twenties, [...]
