Me to Tom: Hey, will you take a picture of me in my AWESOME fox tights? I have to post this for the world to behold.
[Lark enters the room]
Me: Lark, will you take a picture with me in my fox tights? [Underlying motive: to not be alone in my fox photo - make it a little more casual.]
Lark: No thank you. I'll pass. What are you taking the picture for?
Tom: She's going to post it to Facebook for self-validation based on the number of likes she gets.
Me: [losing a bit of my foxy mojo]. Come on - let's just take the picture!
[I assume a camera-ready pose. Tom snaps the picture. We look at the result.]
Tom: Whoa, your head and neck look like a Pez dispenser! Bad angle!
Me: Argh! Let's do another one.
The result:
Yup, check out those tights. On the curve of woodland-critter-apparel adoption, I'm an off-the-charts early adopter. Case in point, my all-time favorite squirrel sweater dates back to, date I say, 2001. Yup, I was intarsia-ing it way before my time.
Oh, wait. Could it be true? It couldn't be. Did I hold onto that sweater long enough for it to come back in style? Am I just riding the wave of the latest fashion trend, not actually creating it? Darn it!
WTF. What the Fox.
