Ok, let's not make jokes -- you know we're not talking about the bathrobes you already own!! Bathrobes make you look sloppy -- like you don't care enough to put on anything special, just an ordinary bathrobe. The shinier the fabric the more of an impression you will make each and every time you wear a robe. The adjective in your head when you look at the robe should be "regal." Regal or Royal is not just who you are if you're in a very important position -- it's the outfit you have on. And the robe is very key.Note also the stitching. There should be fancy patterns and particularly beadwork. Let's face it -- handstitching is the best!! But of course many people can't afford it and they can't find it either. Quite frankly, the answer is: Save up. Because a cheap robe is just going to look like a cheap robe, and it wil change the "mental adjective" to: cheapie.

I put my time in at the newspaper today and Friday. It's not the most stimulating job in the whole world. It's really just production design and we don't really get a lot of time to be terribly creative. You try your best and see what comes out in quick flashes of instinct. Sometimes you're right on, sometimes you fall flat on your face.Sometimes you come across some fantastic text that you just can't forget. Case in point: I'm working on a real estate ad and I'm typing in the text. Often, I don't really think about what I'm typing. It's just text and there are a lot of listings to do so you just power through it and maybe read it later.
On Friday, I decided to actually read one of the listings and this gem popped up:
"...large backyard with room to build shop, kids and pets."
I'd say that the opportunity to become your very own god is cheap at the $400,000+ they were listing the property at.

yes, but it's the quality of the kids and pets that matters. plus, do any materials come with the property? and what kind? i don't want to be stuck building three kids and realize half way through that i only have parts for one and a half. i firmly believe to this day that that is why one of my legs is shorter than the other one. and someone was comletely off by giving me the third nipple. though it is handy for when i need creamer.
i'm not even going to go into the mess that can happen with pets. i give you the duck-billed platypus as an example of nature amok.
