I feel I’m at the age where everything I do is a fight between choosing the funky direction or the practical direction.  Everyday the two sides collide.  Tight jeans or loose Gap jeans?  Cute but not winter friendly Converse shoes or arch supporting Asics?  Bikini briefs or free hanging Fruit-of-the-Looms?

This debate even applies to men.  My mid-section tells me to go for the hipster guys with a funky fashion sense (and often times a peculiar odor), but lately my brain has been telling me to go for the young professional type, conservative like.  The great question is, do I go for the guy wearing khaki’s pants or the one who isn’t wearing pants?

This is only going to get worse as I get older.  What if I blended the two worlds?  Wore Converse shoes with khaki pants?  Dated the professional type while quietly wearing naughty underwear?  Hmm? 

I feel that’s just setting me up to become that creepy 50 year old with a funky gelled hair-do who has a MySpace profile that starts with, “You’re only as young as you feel.”

 BTW, check out Danny Leary and Shawn Hollenbach, two great comics.  I performed with them last night at the Laugh Lounge, got to know them afterwards.  Fantastic fellas! 

Don’t you just love these? I can’t wait til they arrive! They are going to be perfect the Great Scott European Adventure Spectacular! Picture it, bundled up in a cute coat (that I still need to find, suggestions?), wearing these fun snow sneaks. Love it!
