This is my day to take out my dislike for the tax code on stupid advertising. Since my taxes are done and mailed and I no longer have to kick the cat I can concentrate on other items that raised my eyebrows.
Intelligent Design: now I understand intelligent design in the since of science and what is said about intelligent design at Wikipedia with all 245 Reference notes. I understand that intelligent design in also mentioned in science fiction supposedly something that looks human but only learns as it goes; such as an android. I understand Daniel Goleman’s Social Intelligence; which is the new science of human relations. What I don’t understand and, is probably done for shock value only, was a headline regarding the winner of Project Runway, as she got down to work, it was titled…Intelligent Design. Models don’t even come close to intelligent design with their grand total of intelligence…they don’t make the cut. Maybe it is the dresses; to me there never has been anything intelligent in the design of the Mod Look. Designers may be good in business with help but don’t come close to the ID that is talked about in Wikipedia. To me in fashion design: Intelligent Design would be the ability to make a pair of 3-4 inch heels that are fashion forward, great color and NEVER hurt your feet no matter how long they are worn. Now THAT would be intelligent design in the fashion sense!
Since I talked about tax day, I have decided that the Dior add for a cell phone is a little much, but I am sure the sales tax on that item would pay the tax bill of many. This little gadget just didn’t make any since for a CELL PHONE. Now we all know how we treat our little gadgets of wonder. We throw them in pocket filled with junk or at the bottom of a purse. We lose them. We get mad and throw them across the room and we drop them…sometimes in the toilet. They have become a…can’t do without them gadget that sometimes we lose. Then how can anyone of any intelligence (there is that word again with fashion) possible purchase one with 641 diamonds on the case and a sapphire crystal??? And they call it an Intelligent Jewel! (There is that word again) Wow talk about branding! http://www.diorphone.com/ I would like a Q or Black Berry in a great color…maybe purple but diamonds? Can you imagine walking anywhere in New York City with that in your purse?? Of course people who purchase those phones never walk anywhere!
Remember… the new watch word for the fashion world is: Intelligent…

I AM SO READY FOR SPRING
What a treat it was to get the new Macy’s catalogue for spring titled Welcome Back Color! A wonderfully eye catching bright pink with a color spectrum slashed across the final page. What a breath of fresh spring air. I am so looking forward to spring now. Everyone needs the color that Macy’s is putting forth on its front cover. Looking at some of the other magazines of fashion they seem to be stuck in the same color doldrums.
With these colors I can see business coming back to that store. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by spring? The colors just pop off the clothes, handbags and shoes…ah yes the shoes. The styles are taking even us boomers into consideration.
Let’s be serious for a moment. The pricing is what it is all about right now. I was reading some information the other day on a book about women and sales in the U.S. We move that market and it is in much better shape than the one the men are in charge of.
Vogue tells us to splurge on a great pair of green shoes for only $1795.00. Whereas this catalogue has similar looking, in many more colors, averaging under $200 shoes. To me that would mean that if I wanted I could actually get 9 or10 pairs (Yahoo) for about the same price as that one green pair. Besides…they are on my feet and I don’t care whose name I walk on!! Shoes should be fun to look at, fun to wear and priced so you can have more than one or two pairs!
Color is something that I believe humans need to live. Recently when I redid my office, I wanted COLOR! Yellow on the walls makes every morning, when I come into the office, a happy morning. We should be putting color into our lives as often as possible. After such a long time of brown, gray and muted colors on everything I say bring the color in and make it BRIGHT!! If you can’t wear a certain color around your face…put it on your feet, carry it as a handbag, wear it as a bangle. If it makes you happy find a way. I really enjoy hot pink. However with my red hair hot pink next to my face makes your eyes hurt. Last summer I found a handbag in hot pink that I loved and got it. I got so many complements and enjoyed carrying it because the color makes me happy.
Surround yourself with colors that make you happy and feel good. Pass on your happiness to others…it will spread like the flu…makes you feel much better and lasts much longer.
Ah Yes I am ready for SPRING!
