sam is a toxic shopping buddy. we played hooky and did far east today, all because of her jeans! well, they needed altering so we wandered around the place and in about an hour or two, each bought dresses of a somewhat similar cut but different colours, coveted mulberry lookalike leather bags AND made a mental note to return to this shop that sells all things graniph for girls and boys called sideroad 10 or somethingorother 10. so much for me swearing off town. anyways i think this is my inaugural post on shopping. a little weird given i prefer not to discuss my like for fashion and my sartorial choices here because i don't want to be just another girly, insipid blogger with fluff and mediocrity for content. another reason why i don't expound on the industry is because it would be providing yet another platform for judgement, and who really needs that right? but trust me, sometimes all i want to talk about are my thoughts, theories and vested interest of the material world because i am, after all, a material girl. on a completely random tangent, i'm delighted to find out zadie smith's birthday is 2 days away from mine, while i share it with winona ryder. i'm so glad it's these two brainy, cool girls, rather them than someone lame and sad like britney spears i reckon. i have become completely enamoured with zadie smith ever since i started on her book, on beauty a few days ago. at just 31 she already has 3 critically acclaimed novels under her belt, amongst other published work. she has it all, the success, the looks, the intellect, the fellow intellectual good looking writer husband. i remember, wanting at 10, to write a book about werewolves. needless to say, it didn't get me very far. i wonder if i still have it in me though.

the textual siege.
