January Obsessions

Obsessions in January

Spending most of the month indoors definitely has its advantages. Loads of time to daydream about new heels, and not going outside ruining them due to the never-ending soaking (or sucking, you choose) weather conditions. Perfect also for tucking into uplifting literature (my cousin gave me the most amazing book which will help moi emerge from hibernation as sleek and lean beauty goddess). Not that I haven't done any exercise yet, but hello: spiritual preparation will do half of the trick and otherwise: statement jewellery (see above) always distracts and keeps eyes away from anything wobbly beneath your neck.

Have also been very busy preparing for the Oscars (if you haven't already, please go see "Amour" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild", both utterly touching), and ditched champagne for once, replacing it with tea (am obsessed now, carrying little Pickwick bags in my pocket everywhere, call me tea-oholic).

And since the weather is nothing but grey it seemed quite logical to develope an utter crush on the black and white Spring/Summer trend (my favorites: stripes and graphic patterns). The latter might also totally help (conceal, conceal, conceal!) if I stay the lazy bum I have been and don't loose that stone I actually intended to. Ah, who cares: as long as my shoe size doesn't increase as well and I can still fit into those beautiful Jil Sander boots, I will be a happy gal. Cheerio!

Dear Sponsor-to-be!

I went to the gallery Meneer de Wit the other day, as they'd showed some interest in exhibiting my project of documenting my 366 days running in heels. Guess what: they LOVED IT! So when I sat down there (all business in Jil Sander), we spoke about business plans, sponsoring (whom did I contact?), public subsidies (whom did I contact?), a possible catalogue (print costs for full colour, 366 pages: about € 10.000.-, and do I have a publisher yet?) and of course the costs for printing 366 pictures for the exhibition (my glorious vision of printing them on an A4 format quickly shrank to using the format of a stamp (hmm, will you still be able to see my heels? Will I be handing out magnifying glasses at the opening?)

Already choked on my Nespresso and spit it all over my white (and freshly ironed) blouse at the costs bottom line. Not to mention the costs for all the things I hadn't even thought of yet. Of course I will be able to handle everything if I a) dye hair blond and get fake fingernails (aka quickly become a footballer's wife) or b) win the lottery. Since both are highly unlikely I have to urge.

Dear Sponsor, or Mentor... (am not picky on that one): Please call me, send an email, attach your enthusiastic message of acceptance to a carrier pigeon..... and help, so that Meneer de Wit can become Meneer de Shoe! Thank you!
