Hello Fellow Travelers!
Recently someone who has nothing but the best intentions (but doesn't know me very well) sent me some things she thought would be useful in my recovery like a wig and a fake Escada bag. My hair made a full recovery, as I predicted it would. I cut it short and the hair takes care of the rest. It's curly and red/brown and does it's own thing. Also my neurosurgeon was careful not to shave off too much hair, he's a pretty careful guy (aren't neurosurgeons careful by definition?), so a big hair reduction for me just puts my head in the same realm as everyone else. As for a fake bag, I'm not a fake bag kind of gal. Never have been. When I see something that works I'm all in! For years I carried a black Longchamp bag with silver hardware. Before that I thought it would be a good idea to have a round (canteen style) black, bag, so I went into a Gucci store and picked up a black, canteen bag.
Longchamp in San Francisco sells a canteen bag! In Union Square. At Nordstrom's! Probably with silver hardware! So next time I'm in the market for a handbag I know exactly what I want and where to get it. If the "fake" bag had silver hardware and didn't look so fake I could just fill it with junk and carry it around like a purse! But every time I see the brassy looking, fakey, "Escada" logo, I just can't go there! As Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw) once observed, "All those fake bags in the back of someone's trunk it's just too sad!"
I like original art and clothes and textiles (and cookies) for the same reason I like old movies and quality handbags: I want to buy it once and be done with it. By the time a Longchamp bag is ready to retire you're sick of it anyway! Did you hear records are making a comeback? I always kept mine! I have an eye for quality not because I necessarily have good taste (although my taste is pretty impeccable), but because I'm lazy! Especially when I'm confronted with so much.
This is exactly what I mean by juggling chainsaws! I don't have any time or energy to consider anything that doesn't produce immediate results! Fake handbags and fake hair (well, hair that isn't mine) are well-meant distractions I have no time for! I never did. Fake hair is just well, fake. I have to relearn to walk, I have books to read, I have books to write. Crap, I have a lot to do! I'd better get on it!
