Don’t forget to BE COOL!

Backstage at Rena Lange:  I loved the sign instructing models to BE COOL!  As if this crowd needed any reminder.  I’m always telling myself (and my friends) to do just this, and getting slated for it.  I think its sound advice in general, and shouldn’t be restricted to the catwalk.  I’m even considering a similar display on the inside of my front door.

p.s. The incorrect spelling of the word straight in this notice irritates me beyond reason.  It’s one of my weird pet peeves.  I can loosely tolerates mistakes like this, but seriously, if you write your instead of you’re, I can’t be held accountable for my actions.

Pet Peeves (2)

I’m doing another one of these posts, in place of my monthly ‘Things to be Happy About’ post.  Because the last one was so well received.  And because its January, and don’t you hate those people who remind you of how  good you really have it, when you are trying to wallow in the January blues?  I don’t want to be one of those people.  So instead, here are some more of my pet peeves:

 

Drivers who neglect to use their indicator;  maps not folded back up correctly;  couples who own a dog together and refer to each other as Mummy and Daddy (actually any couples doing this);  people who sit next to you on the bus when there are other seats available;  when people wear shoes they can’t walk in;  alcohol pushers;  crumbs in the butter dish;  celebrities claiming to be environmentalists;  when the ice-cream drips out of the bottom of the cone;  when you open the DVD case and the wrong movie is inside;  when something you’ve been into for ages becomes ‘popular’;  having to use more than one remote control;  people who say ‘let there be light’ when flipping on a light switch;  the use of more than one exclamation mark;  Anyone who thanks God at award ceremonies;  shared arm-rests;  hair strands left on shower walls;  pointless weekly meetings;  websites with horizontal scrolling;  shopping trollies with a bad wheel.
