Ever Important Mondays

It finally started to snow on the upper east side. A few flurries past midnight and I'm very pleased.

Since I'm such a lover of denim I found this interesting;

Levi's Jeans is on a suing rampage. Their back pocket design (which looks like the childlike drawings of a bird mainly seagulls) have been copied or emulated through many other companies. Apparently it's a trademarked design. Of course this is nothing new as everyone copies everything by accident or on purpose. Big bad Levi's has been able to intimidate many lesser brands into taking their copies off the racks. The company will not stop until all brands whose back pockets resemble the original Levi's design are taken off shelves and production (or re-production) is ceased.

I don't have an opinion, only am wondering if I have any knockoff seagulls flapping on my flap pockets...and if the Levi's police will come to take them and me away.

Quick! To the underground shelter!

In more political news, women (thanks to political speakers such as Pelosi or Clinton) are coming out of their pineapple up the rear, stiff edged and hard jawed political selves. In the past, women in politics (or planning a career in)were advised to play down their "softer, motherly sides" for a tougher and less emotional appearance. The idea being that a women who was a gentle caring person with a family would come off as a little too feeble minded for politics. Really all this just gave way to homophobic labeling of lesbian.

Was it so terrible to be something other than sterile and cold? Isn't it on the whole much easier to identify and feel comfortable with people because of their humanity?

However there is that minority of people with pineapple's up their rears.

So maybe it was all a play up to them.

Actually I think it's more of a majority.

Oops.

Well, it's Monday and I have the tell tale cold. I'm using that sinus stuffed woozy feeling to truly enjoy "What's New Pussycat?".

Peter O'Toole's so pretty.

I am so bored! Have a great Monday!!

Hi VB, if you haven't seen Peter O'Toole in "My Favorite Year" you must. Hope your sniffles go away.

Hi VB

We know you don't have a pineapple up your rear. I hope there are no seagulls flying around it as you would be sorely missed.

Saw a profile on O'Toole just a couple of days that showed him going from the man of incredible beauty in Lawrence of Arabia to the skeletal elderly man in Venus. He is so real and brilliant.

Get well or trade in "What's New Pussycat" for "You Can Keep Your Hat On"
