"My name is Christmas. Will you merry me?"

"Dear 2011, my wish for this year is a big fat bank account and a slim body. Please don't mix these two up like you did last year."
A tweet on Twitter I chuckled/guffawed at, recently. Lord knows I can relate to it!
I am inscribing it here, because for some unknown reason that is having me shaking my head and muttering expletives under my breath, I am unable to form thoughts of my own right now. I blame all the Big Bang Theory I've been watching; the wit! Oh, the wit! Subconsciously making me feel inferior, it is.

Also watched Guzarish and now I'm longing for Aishwariya Rai's wardrobe in the film. Long flowy lengths, fitted bodices, poufy sleeves; so dramatic and delightful! I just want to don dark lipstick and roll my r's. Rrrrrrrrrright.

Cat eye glasses; exquisite! Heck, I love it when I see anyone wear glasses on-screen, as an eye-glasses-wearer myself.

 

That Victorian skirt is giving me goosebumps! It even looks like she's adorned her head with a quasi-hijab, eh?
