The only time of year that I can get my husband to go shopping with me is during the semi-annual sale at Nordstroms. Lucky for me, he was distracted with adding to his Tommy Bahama stockpile while I was trying on these Michael Kors sandals. Mind you, these were not part of the sale but as soon as he saw how happy the made me, he gave his assent. He’s a sucker for me in heels and I love him for it. By the way, they also come in blush, white, silver and black patent leather. I may have to get back there this week…

Wow. This was too insane not to share. Here is a snippet of an email sent out by American Apparel Management to all of their store managers regarding female grooming standards for the staff. I would definitely not have made the cut as I blow dry my hair and have the audacity to wear foundation. I do, however, agree with the no-glitter blush. That’s just tacky. This is a fun read so please feel free to share your comments.

Name: Sterling Vintner’s Collection Pinot Grigio 2008
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Price: $ 12.99
Description per label: In our Pinot Grigio you’ll find fresh kiwi fruit and golden apple flavors accented by floral and mineral notes…blah, blah, blah…
Review: As a sommelier, I’ve developed my olfactory sense to an almost superhuman aptitude. With just one sniff of a freshly uncorked varietal I instantly know how dreadful a hangover I’ll be dealt by imbibing. As I raised my pour of this white, I immediately knew the blend would win the prestigious Nick Nolte award for an ear ringing, brain busting, sulfide-induced hangover. However, this is my weekend job and work is not a four-letter word without reason. This Californian crap does boast many flavors; the two that first stung my palette were petroleum and cat urine. If you have a dusty bottle of Sterling Pinot Grigio somewhere in your house give it to a bum ASAP. Or, if one of your so-called ‘friends’ brings you this wine as a gift, smash it over their head without hesitation. Do yourself a solid and consider ANY other selection. On a scale of 1-10, I rate it a -3. Drink at your own risk.
Suggested pairings: Cigarettes, sleeping pills, and a suicide letter.
