A couple of years ago, a white thong was found in my family's home- it had never been used and the tags were on it. Everyone claimed it wasn't theirs and somehow from there, the thong game was born-
The rules for the thong game is simple: One person has to be in possesion of the thong and they have to pick an unsuspecting target and "thong" them. Usually, the more random place to put the thong, the better. A couple of favorites from my family has been in a trumpet (that happened to me, I went to band practice and it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out why my trumpet's sound was muffled :P), on a car's steering wheel, in an Easter Egg, in a shoe...you get the idea. The "thonged" person then has to "thong" someone else...and as you see, that's how the game continues. It's loads of fun for the whole family! Just remember to never WEAR the thong, because then it kind of makes things a little less sanitary.

Fascination
This past saturday, my family went to a local beach, where we saw a retirement community playing under the trees. One group in particular caught my family's attention- a circle of elderly women playing some form of "Hot Potato." I honestly wish I took a picture of it- there was even bubbles in the air.
And this brings me to my love of- old ladies. I can honestly say I am not one of those people who will cling to their youth because, well, I think I'll be at my prime when I'm somewhere around the age of 75. Everytime I see an adorable old lady I get WEAK IN THE KNEES :)

Newest obsession
I have become very much addicted to AMC's tv series "Mad Men," the show about an advertising agency in the 1960s. Besides its incredible plot, the visuals are really stunning. I am pretty much in love with the fashions of that era now. Let's take a look at the leading ladies-
JOAN- the curvy gorgeous seductive secretary. I think it's impossible to not have a style crush on her
PEGGY- The mousy secretary turned copywriter whose style is very school-girlesque and prim
BETTY- the main character's beautiful wife who is constantly compared to Grace Kelly. Such a lovely housewife, no?
Oh ladies of Mad Men, how you make me want to run to my nearest thrift store and go on a spending spree ;)

So....
ha. so much for the promise of the last post :P I wish I could say I've been doing amazing things that prevented me from blogging, but to be honest, besides work and spending time with family and friends, I've been slumming it. This is the most creative thing I've done all summer ;)
BUT maybe this is the halfway point and the second half of summer I'll be inspired and motivated....but then again...maybe not. Either way, stay cool in the heat! I hear putting undies in the freezer is the way to beat a heat coma. That or you could get air conditioning.....

Funny Anecdote...
My teacher for Retail Management told us a story last week about when he was working in the industry. The company he worked for had a private label and a factory to produce the merchandise overseas. In the 1990s, the factory somehow misunderstood the instructions for the long sleeved shirt for men and somehow made it so one sleeve was long and the other was short. Corporate and upper management had no idea this happened and when the stores received the merchandise, they thought it was odd but put it out with the other clothing. By the time upper management found out about the mistake, the shirt had become a top seller and was flying off the shelf. People loved the unique look! Rather than take back the inventory, the factories had to make more!
So now whenever I make a mistake and I think it's a terrible screw up, I try to look at it in perspective- this huge fail could become the biggest win yet :)
