Eating Meat=Driving SUV

I have decided I am not opposed to eating meat. It's the way we treat and kill it, and the huge quantities at which we consume it in America that I find disturbing. I could go research all these scary facts about what cow farts do to the atmosphere, but I rather let the Human Society of the US show you how animals are treated. Other interesting videos: where fur trim comes from (dogs/cats in Asia), puppy mills in Virginia expose or Paris Hilton's pet history.

Second, I've decided I will open an animal sanctuary when I have the time/space/$. Yes, that's a sanctuary for cows, pigs, goats, sheep, the whole 9 yards. And lots of chickens. It would be a bit like the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary where you can visit and meet the animals! I will start small because luckily, pigs come in mini sizes. I was thinking of naming him Bubbles or her Periwinkle.

So in the spirit of sustainable agriculture and eating meat that lived a happy life in a pasture and was killed in a relatively humane way (not neck stabbed like horses are in Mexico/Canada), I recommend finding local farms on this site, EatWild.com.

My Boyfriend the Superhero

Apparently this is what Cal would look like if he were a super hero. Appropriately kilted, with his light saber from Selfridges & Co., and bunny slippers to make him "sensitive."

Stuff I Want

I am constantly keeping a mental list of all thing material possessions I want (the other kind are already on the table: Cal, fun well paid job, good grades).
1. Burberry's Prorsum line (pronounced P-ror-sum) has made a spring patent leather sandal, complete with studs galore! I love them, even if they are a little drag queen bondage-esque. Read more about them.
2. The Opium necklace from YSL. It can be doubled wrapped for a choker effect.

3. A Bape sweatshirt. The Bathing Ape, a fashionable Japanese import with a funky edge.4. Nike/other brand, bright puffy high tops. I love them, they're funky and a new rendition on the traditional converse high top. Plus, they'll look great with my skinny jeans.
5. Vegan bag. I have yet to select, but I'm having trouble selecting my new spring bag b/c so little out there looks nice without being cheapy chesey, and uber fake leather. Here are some good options though. My favorite is mat & natt.

6. And of course, a horse! Yes, I want a white pony and I refuse to accept that I can't be a proud owner b/c I'm in a city.

Pink People

I had an epiphany while at the gym today. White people are not white. As I watched myself do free weights in the big work out room, I noticed that me and the other white people are actually a lot more pink than white. We should be called pink people.
