I have been obsessed with secondhand clothing since I was a little girl. It started as a necessity because my folks could not afford brand new clothes for 5 kids. It then became an addiction to the endless possibilities that already worn garment offers: shapes, periods, styles etc. I remember that as a child, everyContinue reading “Mood of the day: hand-me-down”

Outside my shell
‘The fire fades away Most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it’s too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You’re close enough to see that’ KT Tunstall, Other side of the world Friday posts are often reflective. They help me think about how I survived anotherContinue reading “Outside my shell”
One: happy birthday redlipstickmama
Birthdays freak me out because of the general expectation that one should celebrate, the anguished analysis of what happened (or did not happen) the year before, and the stressful task of looking ahead and trying to figure out realistically how many years you have left in your life to ‘make it’. Plus, I always hadContinue reading “One: happy birthday redlipstickmama”
Don’t touch, it’s my ‘zizi’
Preliminary note: if adult themes make you uncomfortable, you might want to skip this one. G, P and L, if this blog is still up and running when you can read, definitely skip this one! Two things make me shriek, turn red, and want to disappear forever: porn movies and masturbation. I have never watchedContinue reading “Don’t touch, it’s my ‘zizi’”

More realistic goal is to keep creating, I guess. This post found on the blog laptop on theContinue reading “Working mama: Emily”
Vacation in the Green Mountain State

It also often breaks the Ugly-you free… . All inContinue reading “Vacation in the Green Mountain State”
R.I.P my closet, I am out
Last week, I came out as a neuro-mama-blogger. Not only I came out but I also used Facebook to do it so I could win a blogger competition. Tacky, right? Absolutely tacky and I did not even win. The good point is that now everyone knows. Everyone except my in-laws. I am not sure thatContinue reading “R.I.P my closet, I am out”
Mood of the day: Blanc
Saturday was an odd combination of ‘oh yeah’, ‘oh no’ and ‘what the hell???’ The snow everyone has been waiting for since December has finally arrived. I expected to be underwhelmed here in Harlem because we have been pretty spared by Irene and Frankestorm. It is like living in a little island. However, the waitContinue reading “Mood of the day: Blanc”
Out of the mouth of Babes
Children at an early age often talk crap. To start with, they repeat every single thing you say just to piss you off, they say NO when they actually would like to say yes, they repeat the same thing over and over again etc. You just wish that the latest idiom they are obsessed aboutContinue reading “Out of the mouth of Babes”
