Ahh the pain and joy of being a woman and the eternal balance between smart and/or beautiful

Let us unite and smash stereotypes!

Yeah, I have a degree in rocket science (well, aerospace engineering) and either

-people don’t believe I have such a degree because of my obsession with fashion and celebrities
-or they believe I can’t possibly know anything about fashion and celebrities since I’m an engineer

Oh well.

LOL. Smart and shallow. Love your mantra. I get that prejudice all the time. But I love the element of suprise when people finally realize that you are actually smart. And indeed, shopping sharpens our ability to mentally calculate and develop physical stamina too.

Truly I am no longer alone! University of Chicago student (classics and political science) and dedicated fashion addict (without the budget). Plato and Prada in harmony as it were! Julie

Lucky you, no college debt (more on that in a later blog entry…)! My definition of gainful employment: I’m employed, so my closet gains.
You know how there was a recent study that found that chewing gum makes you smart? Well someday they will find that shopping makes you smart! (The ability to calculate sales tax and monthly payments and all.)

YAY!!!! I’m not alone. Three Majors, magna cum laude, and still unable to escape an obsession with Louis Verdad’s stuff out in LA. Someday soon, I plan to make up my college lack of debt (scholarship) by buying clothes and shoes…lots and lots of shoes…
