Dear coworker, if you must do disgusting things like eat fried cheese for breakfast, please do not come into my office to talk while you are doing it, leaving fried cheese odor behind. End rant.
I like this post on how one woman’s fashion personality (red stilettos), and her law firm’s uptight response to them, helped her figure out that law wasn’t right for her. She went on to create a fashion start-up that lets users design and potentially produce their own clothes, called Shop Rag House.

Is anyone else absolutely horrified that Kim and Kanye have apparently named their baby “North”….as in, “North West”? Normally I try not to pay attention to that kind of stuff, but I feel for that child….
I think this is right up there with “Moon Unit” and “Blanket”. Yikes.
Horrified? Absolutely not.
I’mma let you finish, but North West is the best baby name of all time. OF ALL TIME!
Hah! Bettered only perhaps by North East? :-)
So you gonna name yo’ baby South?? ;o)
I’m [eyeroll] but not that surprised, I mean come on: Pilot Inspektor??? Audio Science? Blue Ivy? Kal-El?? I don’t think I can be surprised anymore by dumb celebrity baby names.
I actually liked the false-alarm “Kaidence Donda” – the extra “i” was stupid, but Cadence seemed like a pretty good name on the celebrity baby scale, evocative of her father’s work and unique without being absurd, plus the K for Kardashian, and Donda for Kanye’s mom. “North” is awful.
If I were a public figure knocked up with the child of another public figure with the last name “West”, I would totally tell the press I was going to name the kid something insane, like “North”, and let the press go nuts about it. Then, when she was born, I’d give her a completely normal name, and if anyone asked about it, I’d look at them like they were crazy.
This is so ridiculous I cannot even deal.
However – I’m hoping this was a false TMZ rumor. In March, Kim specifically said she would not name her baby so maybe some TMZ staffer was high or something.
I know too much about this – please don’t judge me.
As in the baby will not have a name and be forever Baby West?
It immediately transforms your look and is the easiest makeover you can employ.
A stylish sideways oval engagement ring is important.
Breast surgical procedure or liposuction gives you with the
freedom of sporting desired kinds of clothes and that too with an
elevated level of confidence.
