I LUV ME MAH SCARVES.
As I pulled out my winter scarves, I felt like a magician pulling scarves from a top hat. I just kept going and going and going… My Scarfaholism is not due to an irrational fear of Vampires - nor is my neck the coldest part on my body. My butt and my feet are my coldest “parts”. And while I will wear thick socks to keep the tootsies warm… I will not wear socks on my butt. That is just not a good look for me…
I wear scarves because they add a smidge more warmth - like a blanket for your neck! They are also a nice little “accessory”… A little pop of color to brighten up a dreary Fall or Winter day… I might even say, “the scarf” was my original “confidence prop“.
A scarf can also double as a noose - when one’s young children tug on it to get attention. Good times. But like my Grandma used to tell me in the 80’s when I’d complain about the stinging pain on my scalp from the activator in the perm treatment, “Pain for beauty, Kerry… Pain for beauty…” I love my Gramma. Maybe I’ll give her a scarf for Christmas…

I met an very angry hot dog today. It seems he was not so “hot” about the idea of being microwaved to death for lunch.

Keep up-to-date on the insane, the insightful, and the whatever…
Roooowrrrr, them’s some sexy scarves, Mami. Now I know what to send you for your 20th anniversary of the 16th Bday!
Love scarves…I even learned to knit so I could create an endless supply for myself :-)
Hey, Sarah posted a funny bit today that I think you’d enjoy. Is it cool to link to another blog from within comments?
Let me know and I’ll send it to you…or I’ll come back and post here.
So, you’re good on scarves then?
That dog looks like a scary sea creature!
ROFL!! That poor, poor hot dog! I hope he tasted good.
I like scarves, too, but don’t get much chance to wear them down here. But I do have a few! You know, just in case.
That hot dog is scary.
I see a scarf-swap in our futures…
Yes, yes… Kathleen - link, link, link! I love the linkage!!!
I am a lover of scarves myself. My closet hates me for it. I feel nekkid without my neck blankie. I’m beyond thrilled that it’s so fashionable this season. My addiction must grow!
Hot dog is scary but flippin funny!!!!
I actually audibly gasped when I saw the dog. Mighty ferocious looking. And, um, ick. Sorry.
The scarves on the other hand, rock! My fave is the black, white and red one. I, too, love scarves but never felt like I could pull them off properly, so I’ve never indulged. I am barely five foot and they just seem to make me look shorter. Wonder what Tim Gunn would say?
Thanks for the giggle this morning!
