Happy Valentine’s Day Laura and K³ !

17 years old... and in love way back then! Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart!My Uncle Cal — a scientist by birth and a mathematician at heart — referred to my three daughters Kristin, Karen and Karla as K³ …. and it has stuck with me ever since.

Valentine’s Day has a long History and Wikipedia has a nice blurb if you take the time to read it. A couple of exerpts amused me…. allow me to share these morsels:

 

“A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day.”

(nah… singles are just ‘practicing at love’)

“In …. (Iran) this popular date is discreetly celebrated by most lovers despite the disapproval of such occasion by the hardline Islamic government as a copycat of the West.”

(even ‘love’ — I guess — has to be approved by the mullahs)

Well, Valentine’s Day is a great Day to remember those you love….

Happy Valentines Day  Laura and K³

Terrorist ‘Chic’ walks the London Runway?

Photo on YahooOkay, boys and girls, I know this isn’t going to sound too Politically Correct… but outside of folks named Osama, who’s gonna buy this stuff?

Believe it or not this is what is ‘haute coulture’ on the London Fashion scene. Want more pics? Now, I know a few women who might actually look good in this sort of thing… names starting with Hillary or Dixie Chics… but this is the sort of thing that sets the old time machine back to the times when three women sold for one cow.

Well, I guess we all get to thank this month’s Weenie Award winner as described by Yahoo: “A model wears an outfit by Fashion East designer Louise Golden during her catwalk show at London Fashion Week in London, Monday Feb. 12, 2007.”

You can read more about Fashion East and their ‘young designers’ here. However, real Islamic fashions can be found elsewhere.

I just might go for this sort of thing if it was marketed better… maybe, if we were told that this is cold weather gear… but then, the bare legs say another thing.
