Good Things Come in Small Packages
Believe it or not, this is my first season of Project Runway. And you know what? I can’t believe I’ve been missing out! For one thing, last night’s episode was about accessorizing with/for your dog. And yes, there was a pug. Now I probably will never have a real pug, but if I ever did, I just don’t think I could be all matchy-matchy with the poor thing. Okay, maybe if it was all done tongue firmly in cheek. Okay, maybe not in public. Because then I’d be known as “that crazy pug woman.”
Besides, dogs are not dolls, are they? But then again, children aren’t dolls either (as fun as it is to dress them) and even I’ve been guilty of treating them that way. When my niece (who just turned 14!) was 3 or 4, I bought her the cutest little wool jumper by Cynthia Rowley. It was gray with red stitching around the pockets and the collar. So adorable — she probably wore it maybe once. What I need to confess, though, is that I bought a matching jumper for myself. Oh god, that’s so embarrassing… but I figured (1) I’m her aunt, not her mother, and (2) she lived in a different city so no one I knew would ever see us looking like Dr. Evil and Mini-Me. Well, it turns out, luckily I suppose, that we never did wear our outfits together — and now God knows she would never be caught dead matching her aunt!
