I don't think she was really amused. She was probably peeved. Why couldn't I have just answered her question instead of being snarky? I have had people wonder this before. Well, why couldn't you just Google something? It's really not that hard at all. Let me show you: CLICK HERE. That's so meta it hurts. People get pissed off when you tell them to Google something! I don't quite understand why. In person, I would never do this, of course. But when you take the time leave a comment on Facebook that says "huh?" I just want to smack you. And, generally speaking, if I'm leaving a status/post etc on Facebook, and you have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, it was not meant for you! Ignore it! That's what I do when you start posting about your children's bodily functions.

Amanda Price and Lizzy Bennet. - Is... is Mr. Bingley is looking down Amanda's top? Today is Jane Austen's birthday. And today I discovered Lost In Austen, a mini-series in which a regular British girl somehow accidentally swaps places with Lizzy. Now, I'm all for certain types of fanfiction. Say... the addition of zombies or androids . But not much the addition of Mary Sues, such as Amanda Price. I haven't watched the series, nor do I think I will. If I'm going to spend time watching any mini-series my computer, it's going to be the BBC's Pride and Prejudice with the absolutely lovely Jennifer Ehle. A better Lizzy Bennet I have not seen. "Hear that sound, George? Duh-uh-uh-uh! That's Jane Austen spinning in her grave like a cat in a tumble-dryer." -Amanda Price, Lost in Austen

I'm making a concerted effort lately to show some love to my closet orphans. You know, that quirky-but-cute blazer you thrifted last year, those jeggings that you swore you'd wear, all closet orphans that are just waiting for you to pick them for the first time. As a result, I have been flexing my creative styling muscles lately. I'd really like to start photographing my outfits, but I need a little help in this department. What I have: a camera, a gorillapod , and me. What I don't have: someone else to take photos for me, a good camera. Not even a floor length mirror. I have this cheval mirror* but it doesn't do well for self-photography I'm going to start scouring the bloggys looking for advice from other outfit bloggers who are taking their own photos. I'd also like to find more Style Diaries. I only have three that I follow religiously. What are some other's that I should check out? Leave me some neato outfit bloggers to check out in the comments.
