Excuse me, I’m having A Walk In The Clouds moment in the adorable skirt Katie made me. (Incidentally, that’s Gym Hubby’s favorite movie. Yes it’s a chick flick. He also loves Bed of Roses and is proud of it.) My problem with sitting is not that it will kill you. It’s not that it will make …

I texted Gym Buddy Allison the other morning: “Black and white cheetah, pink or purple pineapples??” She picked orange bears eating sherbet or something. But I let her have the purple pineapple one anyhow even though it was my fave. Want one of these headbands? Ten GFE readers get a free Violet Love headband – …

My favorite part of this pic is Gym Buddy Megan’s daughter’s face. She looks tougher than all 3 of us weird grown-ups. Fitness has so many rules that it is practically its own religion. Don’t believe me? Try and talk a triathlete out of their long ride/run/swim on Sundays. You might as well be stealing …

You like my pull-up tree? This is the spastic pull-up, you might not have seen it done before. There is frog kicking involved. Fashion mags will tell you that every woman needs a “little black dress” or LBD, a blank canvas if you will for all your sartorial choices both present and future. If you …
I couldn’t find the actual ad we were looking at but this one is pretty similar – it emphasizes the “look” over the function. Plus I think this ad is freaking hilarious. (For those of you non-yoga types, the model is doing Camel Pose.) “I don’t think I like the word ‘pretty’ in that ad,” …

I had a lovely informative post set for tonight about how about how our sleep patterns affect our hunger cycles (scintillating!) but I had to drop everything when this happened: Yes, these are MANTIES. (Panties for men in case you didn’t catch that. It’s late, I’m tired. And also hungry… if only I knew if …

Skinny Girl Eating Ice Cream: A study in social morés. Eclipsed only by the Fat Child Eating Ice Cream tableau vivant, nothing brings out more opinions than a thin girl with a cone. Some people are jealous: “Lucky genetic freak gets to eat ice cream and still look like that?!” Others are sad: “I’ll never be …

photo from The Sartorialist Does this girl look fat to you? Would you describe her as “a bigger, curvier girl than most of the other bloggers who you see in the press”?
