saw this new comment in an old messi main page post, thought it should not go unnoticed:

twunt-

"Yes, why DOES Messi do outfit posts every day? This Bloomtuckian (who is in good, like-minded company) is so very, very tired of avoiding her on or near the B-line most days of the week. She’s an absolute NOBODY here; no one even knows who she is, and her attempts to hang by her gummy teeth onto any sort of relevancy are poor, at best. Give it up, Messi. And, by the way, when ARE you going to realize that your husband is far more interested in the bartenders at Atlas than you, ma chere? ;) #notyourfriends #theyallthinkyoureabitch #yousuck #psbishopvidbluebirdtendershateyoutoo"

Maybe the November spike is due to October rollover. She's kind of known for decent Halloween costume ideas and people who had not read her much before stuck around after Halloween and long enough for this spike?

It still doesn't compare to her 2008 prime, though.

I don't think there's any rollover. The spike is ON Halloween. It's at the end of the month, so it looks like it's in Nov, but I don't think it is.

Maybe she's as lazy with her marriage as she is with What I Wore and expects Adumb to clap for everything she does.

OMG. Did you guys see what she is wearing today (do not know how to post pic)? It is just awful. A gold glittery skirt, jean jacket with rolled shelves and a black turtleneck! Awful!

why does she insist on wearing clothes that make her look (even more) like a rectangle??

if we ignore for a minute that this look (sequins +denim) has been done to death over the past few years, it would look so much better if the skirt were either a knee or just below knee-length pencil shape (like this one), or more of a swishy, voluminous shape (like this one, jcrew circa 2008).

OMG, if she ever shows up at The Bishop I am going to flip my shit. I've been lucky to only see her in town exactly once and I ride the B-line every day.

I get rolling up sleeves (i hate long sleeves) and I understand wanting your shirt under neath it to pop out a bit, but it's just supposed to be a little bit! At this length it looks like her shirt shrunk and now its at this awkward not long and not 3/4 length.

Crap, you guys. My go-to slightly dressed up holiday look involves basically a different version of all these pieces. Am I okay if I don't do crazy things with my sleeves and wear a bubble necklaces? I thought I looked cute but now I'm questioning every fashion choice I've ever made because I accidentally twinsied with Quirk.

You're fine. You probably don't think you invented colourblocking/fashion in general and probably don't act like the dowager countess of dressing yourself, so you get a pass.

My shoes all look like shiz because I was born with my right foot/leg turned so that my foot naturally was at a right angle to my left foot – I had to wear a Forest Gump-style brace until I was three, but my leg is still turned slightly inward. It makes me hit my feet together when I walk.

I've managed to scuff up some shoes pretty badly through the fact I'm an uncoordinated klutz. But 1) my local cobbler knows me on a first-name basis because I feel like I see him at least once every other month, and 2) I'm not taking pictures for thousands of people to see.

The great thing about cobblers is that they will save your shoes for pennies on the dollar. Yeah, it's an expense, but so minimal compared to buying new shoes constantly. My shoes aren't in new condition, but he gets it as close as possible.

I know Messi can afford to have her shoes repaired. Well, probably not those brown boots… they're beyond fixable. But if she'd take them in at the first signs of trouble, she'd look so much more polished. This blog is, after all, her job.

Oh, here are a list of cobblers in Bloomington, in case she thinks they don't exist.

This is kinda OT, but I spent some time reading the back annals of the lovepuppy tumblr and MAN, y'all. Jessica got fat and boring pretty much the second she started dating Quirk. She gave up the vegan thing, she stopped posting anything of her own thoughts/feelings and began posting only decor ideas looking for his opinion, etc. It's kind of ridiculous how obvious the switch was. Brooklyn Jessica was full of herself and kinda crazy but at least she was entertaining and silly hot. JESSICA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

Oh yeah, I love my cobbler. Sure, I've ruined some shoes beyond repair (I don't buy suede or pony hair because they're too delicate), but my scuffed soles and toes? Totally fixable.

That sweater just added 10lbs to her torso. And with that weird sheer knit neckline, don't layer it over a dress with a totally different neckline! And the hat is stupid. And why purple tights? SO many questions, no answers. omg

that sweater is gross. my grandmother used to have a light pink sweater like that in the 80s, we called it the zit sweater.

this is part of her wardrobe challenge… obviously the dress no longer fits properly without layering/distorting.

I DID like this. I thought she looked like she'd slimmed down and was happy that she didn't match her shoes to her tights.

 

…now I just realize I have lowered expectations. That skirt came straight from the school of Tieka.

I've never heard of scotch guard?

originally used on upholstery, it's the general name for the product protecting fabrics from stains. i use the term like kleenex or white out. "kiwi protect all" is the leather/suede shoe protector i have right now… i still call it scotchgard, though.
