current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

i'm not a plastic bag
I'm NOT A Plastic bag by British designer Anya Hindmarch created quite an eco-stir on the streets of London back in April. The bag only costs 5 pounds, but is in limited quantites, causing customers to line up at Sainsbury's grocery store at unnaturally early hours. And now they are talking about her bag on The Today Show today. I turned off the TV.
Why not just carry a green Le Bag? It's cloth. It's reusable. It needs to be resurrected. It was popular around the same time as Le Car was on the road. You can still find one at Big D stores, I'm sure. Go Green! But go quietly, okay?

Good question, Elaine. If you stick "plastic" around "bag" do you automatically have a seller these days? Although the type on that recent bag is really great, and the statement is catchy. But it's just another bag, people. The anti-disposable bag thing has gone on for so long. I tried selling big yellow ones as a girl scout in the grocery stores. They were horrid, which is why it didn't catch on.
Hi Elaine - So I needed a photo of a "Le Bag" and when I did a Google search this link led me to a familiar picture - YOU! Your work and worldview is inspirational. Kind regards from your freshman year hallmate - Ian G. Saunders
Ian, that is the coolest thing! And thank you for your kind words.
