Reputation Ruined… Forever

When I do my shopping (groceries; which, other than shoe shopping is just a necessity not pleasure) I'm mostly incognito (aka looking like (.....) insert swearword of choice please). There are a couple of "do's" to conceal the drama (sunglasses and hat obviously), and I always try to pull the trick the dude in Patrick Süsskind's "Parfum" practices and not leave a scent (aka disappear from everybody's olfactory radar). So it struck me as rather odd that while comparing cucumbers at my local supermarket I spotted this lady giving me "the look". Tried to escape to dairy section, but there she was again scanning me curiously. Must have major pimple or something, and started to doubt my choice of sunglasses (too summery?) or deodorant (did it fail?).

Quickly fled to the checkout lane, where stalker just happened to show up, standing right behind me. "Excuse me" she asked me in the friendliest manner, "sorry to bother you, but aren't you the girl from that shoe blog?" Was so puzzled that I almost fell over stacked baskets and actually had to think twice before I understood what she was talking about. Oh! How nice! (pause for reflection) really? "Yes"!

Can you believe this? Am blog-elebrity, and almost danced out of the Dirk. Whoopie, what an enthusiastic 15 minute shoe talk can do! Until I realised one tiny thing. Wasn't exactly wearing High Heels... Damn! Reputation may very well be ruined forever.

Release the Rabbit

Met my cuddle partner in crime Keith (aka Pappa Bear) from NYC the other week. After the (obvious) cuddles and the great hello (I hadn’t seen him in years) it just felt wrong to bother him with the odd advertising talk or my heel problems (could hardly stand in the sand and was glad to have a big shoulder to hold on to). So we did what every proud “parent” would do: talk about our pets. You see, the Massive Office in NYC has these cute rabbits that I immediately fell in love with when visiting.

They are absolutely all over the place, all smoking and all giving you the naughty look… so it was clear: I had to have one.

Sadly I had to tell PB that the solitary existence of my little fellow is not that joyful. He’s rather lonely, has had to give up smoking when boyfriend quit (he needed at least someone supporting him in the house), and my attempt to acquaint him with the bunnies from the 1st of this month was to no avail.

But what a genius: Pappa Bear suggested I do a post with pet and take lonely rabbit out on a leash in the park.
Will just release him now to live happily ever after and make love to all his fellow bunnies out there crowding the green.
Thank you Keith!

I am from Austria

I was raised in a multicultural environment.

As a result am utterly open minded, tolerant, and cosmopolitan.
My granddad is Czech, I had a Russian and Polish piano teacher, my favorite dish is Japanese and my essential pieces of furniture are Swedish.

My skirt and top are British (Julien McDonald, Burberry), my nail polish French (Chanel), my heels are Italian (see below) and the Kebab I just had was just as Turkish as Turkish can be. Not to forget my shepherd: totally German.

See, I always thought it would be handy to be so multi and culti, familiar with so many different nationalities and their enthusiasm.

However it looks like I will be in trouble tonight. Since I was born in Austria (so German is closest in tradition and native language) but have made my home in the Netherlands, and am in love with a Dutch man, I am facing an emotional disaster.
The mother of all conflicts of interest: Germany is battling Holland in soccer.
Am afraid my (very) Spanish temper might come through: probably safest to watch game secretly hidden in a “neutral” corner.
