Fashion Nonsense
A couple pictures for you today. Ever since Will got one of the new Dell fancy schmancy small laptops all I hear is how he wants a new bag - he doesn't need a big backpack anymore. So I ask, "What, do you want a man purse or something?" He ponders and with enough testosterone, says "Yes, yes I do want a man purse." So, on his way to work today, since his computer fits into my "faux" Kate Spade purse, I let him try it out. Please weigh in on the man purse. Maybe I can get him a clutch in a animal print....meow.
My other fashion nonsense picture is unfortunately a very common occurence here in Shanghai ladies footwear. Anklet hose - huh? I swear - I feel like I"m in a time capsule and my fashionista friends back home better take me aside each time I make it back to the states so I don't fall into the trap of not knowing the latest fashion trends are. A very small percentage of folks here are what I call fashion forward so I need to keep checking out anthropologie online so I can take the pictures to the fabric market - and don't get me started on the footwear here - I'm almost glad I have big feet. I almost caved on these ugly brown sandels out of desperation. Is the world ending? I thought this was the Paris of the East...

Let me tell you! I am so glad you've posted more pictures. I'm a visual learner, and now I feel like I can really see where you're living! :) That picture of Will cracks me up. Though, should he be carrying a black bag with his brown belt??? Shame, shame... ;)
It is all about accessories - he actually learned the rule from me - he now matches is shoes with his belt. What was I thinking handing him a black bag! The picture thing is good for me too - I just wish I could get the sounds and smells across as well - a la "scratch and sniff" - then you'd really get the true ambiance of Shanghai.
Just got a chance to read your blog. It's great! You are quite the storyteller. It looks and sounds like you are having quite an adventure. Your apartment looks pretty roomy too. We have one question about it though. What is that box over the toilet. It looks like a dryer. Do you do your laundry on the John?
Well, I'll be more of a frequent reader now. Hope to hear from you soon.
Oh, and my dad is in Shanghai right now. He is flying out to Bejing tomorrow. He says that they are giving him the royal treatment.
