Charlize Theron Designs for TOMS Shoes

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:07:00 -0700

As you may know, TOMS shoes is near and dear to our hearts as Blake MyCoskie (founder of TOMS) hosted our Wardrobe Wire launch party. Well, the TOMS family is at it again, tapping Charlize Theron to design a limited edition shoe that will benefit the star’s non-profit, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, dedicated to improving the health, education, and social development of high schoolers in South Africa. 10,000 pairs of the slip-on sneakers, made for men and women, embellished with an image of an African baobab tree will be given to impoverished children living in remote communities in her home country. We are so grateful for their generous donation of shoes to the students we work with,” Theron says, “It’s exciting that we’re able to come together in such a cool and creative way to bring attention to the needs of many South African youth.” We love TOMS shoes and encourage everyone to get out there and do good!

Friend: I just sliced my thumb apart on the knuckle. Gushing blood everywhere and I can't find the box with the band-aid's.
Paige: OMG. Do you think it needs more than a band-aid?
Friend: No, but it needs to be wrapped. Breaking boxes isn't easy in a scarf and sunglasses.
Paige: shall I bring you something?
Friend:Oh no, I am all good. Just took a swig of Whiskey and got back to work. I'm a champ.

Friend: My landlord TYPED me a letter telling me that she is in a really creative spot right now and wanted to know what I thought of the new font she was using.
Paige: I am crying from laughing. I mean, fonts are a pretty big deal.
Friend: I will give it to you.
Paige: Will you give them all to me?
Friend: Normally I throw them out in a rage, but I will save them and give them to you.
Paige: Thank you. We WILL make a book out of these... "THE LANDLORD".
Friend: Or "Diary of the KKrazy"
Paige: Wait, what is her name?
Friend: "Jane Doe"
Paige: STOP IT!
Friend: I know, it is perfect.
Friend: I wish I had kept everything.... like the note about the 2 crumbs she apparently found, or the hair, or not having "boys" over.
Paige: "It's funny cus it's true" -Homer Simpson
Friend: I could go on but it just makes me mad that she wastes my time with this crap.
Paige: And the environment with her unnecessary use of paper. She is not very eco-friendly!
Friend: She claims she is! I want to tell her to stop wasting paper.... makes more sense.
Paige: It would be easier to manage our "book" if she just started emailing you these notes, anyway.
Friend: She stopped emailing me because I told her I don't always get them... just to freak her out. So she now prefers things in writing.
Paige:Ok. Well, whatever works for "Jane". I mean she IS " The Landloard".
Paige: Does "Jane" have a job?
Friend: no
Paige: I wonder what "Jane" wanted to be when she grew up?
Friend: Who knows.
Paige: Will you PLEASE keep me posted on ANY interaction with her? Ok?
Friend: I will. I Promise.
Paige: Thank you.

Articles That Make Us Laugh...Alot

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:57:06 -0700

This article definitely brings the LOL’s because it is so true. Loving the alternate response from the girls at NY Mags The Cut. Too funny!

The Washington Post’s Carolyn Hax received this letter from a troubled Manhattanite:

So I’ve been casually dating this guy from work. There’s so much chemistry between us, he’s funny and smart, and I think I’m starting to fall for him.

But something he said at dinner irked me — he made some comment about how un-sexy sweat pants are, and how if the person he’s dating ever wears them, it’s a “deal breaker.”

Well, so far he’s never seen me in sweat pants. But I wear them; they’re comfortable around the house. I asked, “What if a person is feeling sick or just lounging around their apartment?” He made a grimace that said, “Still not okay.” I just feel unsettled now. He does pay a lot of attention to what I wear and suggests clothes that will make me look better. Personal quirk or red flag?

Confused in Manhattan

Though Carolyn penned a perfectly wonderful response to this distressed lady, we have one of our own, because sweatpants are a topic that is dear to our hearts.

Dear Confused in Manhattan,

Unless this guy rescinds the comment (and if he truly is funny, maybe he was just being sarcastic and this was lost on you?), you have no choice but to dump him. Maybe immaturely by means of electronic communication. Because come spring, you’re going to want to wear sweatpants with heels and leather vests and stuff out on the town, possibly on dates. And you will look damn sexy doing so, but if this guy can’t see that now, he has no business being in your good company or engaging in verbal communication with you.

You might argue that maybe he would be fine with designer drop-crotch sweatpants by someone like Alexander Wang instead of non-drop-crotch KMart sweatpants. But if he’s renouncing the garment outright to you, that implies he thinks you are a non-drop-crotch designer sweats kind of girl. We can’t have that, obviously. (And for the record, designer sweats are cheap at sample sales.)

Also, this guy sounds like a total phony. You know if he were at home with swine flu he would not be curled up in front of Oprah wearing his Brooks Brothers slacks and his Tucker Blair turquoise polo. Okay, maybe he doesn’t wear sweats in this situation, but he probably wears something worse — like a lobster-print thermal onesie from Tucker Blair. If he lies to you about wearing lounging garments, think of what else he could be lying about. One day you might wake up to a text message from him on December 24 that’s all, “Sorry, I can’t come to Christmas at your parents’ house because I forgot this is the weekend of my Fire Island Nudist Club retreat in St. Barts.”

Lastly, no one should tell you what to wear, so we’ll relay to you this true story: This one time, a lovely girl went to dinner with her significant other and his parents and wore Alex Wang sweatpants, with heels, and other dressy-ish stuff. This being a preppy family, there were comments made that weren’t relayed to the lady until later, like, “She wore SWEATPANTS? To DINNER?!” At which point the lady told her man, “Sweatpants are stylish, and get used to them because I’m going to be wearing them all spring. This is how I express myself.” And he said, “I love you how you are.” And they have relished the awkwardness and irony of the garment — together — ever since. If that’s not love, what is?

Yours,
The Cut
