No Foolin’.

Hey, lady:

You are wandering around the grocery store with one ear glued to a cell phone, your iPod in your other hand, diamonds dripping off you, shooting verbal abuse at your two children between the inane, slanderous conversation you are having with your phone, and loading your cart with chips, diet mixers, Red Bull and Lean Cuisine.

I followed you around the aisles for forty minutes, getting my own jobs done, and I think I have your measure.

I do not believe you are a yogini studying balance and centredness, no matter how many lululemon logos you are sporting – I counted four. Five if I include the bag. You can wrap yoga wear around your soft, dimpled, privileged arse every day of your clueless life, if you like. When I look at you, I see Kmart clearance.

Peace out.

Shannon

Amen Sister :)
Although I have to say, I've managed to rack up my own little stash of Lululemons, and I adore them. Because they are so comfortable.

Remember when, if you had something particularly scandalous and/or embarrassing to talk about you went in the ladies room, checked to make sure it was empty, then turned on the taps before you spoke, like it was some Cold War espionage movie?

I miss those days. Also, I wish airport lounges came with Cones of Silence.
