Well, my blog seems to be gone baby gone. It is a real mystery! One of my favorite webzines, Cabinet des Fées, is having the same trouble.

I hope we will get fixed.

Update: Cabinet des Feés is back up, which gives me hope. In the meantime, I found some posts in the Google cache. It might take a while before I have all my links added again. For the 3 of you reading, I know it’s of critical importance!

In the meantime, have a very interesting Friday link: The Uniform Project. I often think fondly of having a uniform.

In some ways, I do have one – or, rather, I go through uniform-like phases. For several summers, my uniform was a long skirt and tiny t-shirt. This summer, it’s floppy trousers, retro sneakers, and cap-sleeve blouses (with tiny cardigans or cropped jackets for work). The past two winters at work, it has been boots, a just-below-the-knee skirt and a plain, sleek sweater.

I think of myself as a “pants person,” so it bemuses me how many skirts I own. The ultimate wardrobe in my head would be something like: cut down men’s Mod suits for work, plus skinny dark jeans and black t-shirts for casual and the odd Edwardian tail coat for dress-up.

(In my head I’m a little steampunk, which would not fly at my office.)

I think that Dingo sometimes rolls his eyes at my propensity to dress like a man. Let’s blame Greta Garbo and Katherine Hepburn for that one. Oh, and Mimi.
