Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.

Love it! Love the boots! Love the Brow!

I hear ya on the whole greenwashing industry. A money-spinning mess of cynicism and hypocrisy. Or at least sometimes it is. Just yesterday my bank proudly offered me to opportunity to take advantage of their new “green” account (no cheque book, no paper statements). Since I already take care of all my highly complex banking needs online (money gets paid in, I extract most of it, sometimes I use my credit cards too much, I log on to my account and feel ashamed for a bit), no one writes cheques anymore except my mum who can never find her cheque book anyway and neither of these facts has anything to do with the environment, this was hardly what tossers I work with would call “value-added” or what I would call “honest”. But the poor chap was really keen to convince me I was getting a massive benefit and congratulated me effusively when I explained I always used internet banking anyway. Meanwhile I was concealing my amusement at the idea of the sharehlders of the second largest global financial services company in the world being sold said bank’s “green” credentials on the basis of such arse.

Harrumph.

Made me laugh so much – with pleasure at the good sense and tart wit. I do think I may be one of the ‘don’t you wear leather?’ bores mentioned above. Yes, well, never again. xxxx

The really beautiful thing about being politically incorrect is that it provides such a wide array of fashion choices! Being of a Certain Age, I first had to cope with moral/political/philosophical/spiritual correctness when I foolishly wore the wrong outfit to an Anti-War Rally in Madison, Wisconsin. I *knew* I should simply clone the wardrobe from ‘HAIR” but naked wasn’t my thing even when I could have done it without drawing shrieks. In any case, I must get myself back to Manhattan to visit those gloriously vegan-lite boots at Kaight. After spending way too much time on Portobello Road recently, I’ve realized that despite my California penchant for wearing no-shoes-at-all and never-ever anything suffocating, it is time I invest in some seriously awesome boots. The ones photog’d above qualify bigtime. And who couldn’t love something named after fields of French poppies?

Going off to re-tweet you now. Loving the Eyebrow Chronicles and your brilliantly engaging writing. (And thanks for including GuruofNew.com in your blogroll!)
