Riley LaShea and the Pants in Limbo


Chocolate, chocolate, sweet decadent, melty-finger chocolate. What do I really need to say? Honestly, unless you have an allergy (my sincerest sympathies) or an abnormal palate, you already know the virtues of chocolate. Cocoa is simply one of the most precious commodities on earth. It’s one of those rare earthly substances that, when sweetened and solidified…
So, we just booked our Toronto hotel for Friday night’s Laura concert and are seriously considering buying tickets for Connecticut on Sunday. Oh, Laura, you costly goddess of song. Speaking of costly, we spent nearly twenty dollars in tolls on the way to and from Atlantic City. While I know that there will always be…
You know those times in life when everything goes wrong and yet somehow turns out better than right? That, in a tasty synopsis-y package, is the tale of how I came to meet RuPaul on Thursday. It all began when The Vaudevillians had only a short stint in New York. Since we were already going…
(a completely biased essay on femslashy goodness by Sensei Riley LaShea) Once upon a time, the cheese stood alone. And the cheese was Xena. In the time before Xena, there existed in the universe relatively dull substances that occasionally joined together in a union somewhat resembling femslash, but the emergence of girl/girl pairings like fire…
So, at some point in the first week of this year, I said to myself, “Hey, just because you haven’t set another goal that you won’t meet for the new year doesn’t mean your first post of 2013 is going to be a Once Upon a Time subtext recap.” Hrm. Anyway – SPOILERS yada yada…

somewhere around the 8th paragraph i had to remind myself that this post was about jeans… not boots. or was it about boots?
Haha. That was very amusing. 🙂
Especially the bit about not being a label whore unless there’s a red hot redhead free with purchase and wanting to hump the blue off the boots.
And I totally know what you mean but not with pants…I had a favorite hat that I was very much attached to and wore it almost every day. I found it the other day and it looks like a dirty old rag but I don’t want to throw it away. Despite the fact I really don’t know what I was thinking wearing it so much in the first place. Did I not look in the mirror? When I first got it, it was alright but it seemed to shrink over the years (or my head just got bigger hah) to the point where my skull bulged out the top and my unfortunate nose protruded quite unattractively out from underneath in profile. Not to mention the fact that it had faded and gone yellowy…ew. Thankfully, I stopped wearing it a few years ago.
I once got a pair of shoes for $250 for my birthday back when I was a spoiled brat. They were these awesome white and orange Osiris skate shoes. I couldn’t skateboard to save my life but the shoes were so cool I just had to have them. They lasted me quite a while. I actually still have them. My mother wears them for gardening. haha.
My shoes tend to last a long time…probably due to a combination of the fact that I really love them and I am slightly insane. You see, when I was younger I had a completely unhealthy compulsion to keep my shoes in the best condition for as long as humanly possible. It’s tapered off now but back in the day I used to get home and polish my shoes for marks. Kinda freakish. haha.
Though, now all I wear are chucks and I don’t care what happens to them.
Good luck with the jeans! I hope they last a while longer. They sound freakin’ awesome. I’m kinda jealous, even if they are falling apart 😉 The boots sounded kick ass too…R.I.P.
Wow, that was a very garrulous response. Sorry! *blush*
No worries, Shay. I like your words. Feel free to use as many of them as you want.
Well, at least those expensive as shoes are still kicking… no pun intended, though it was obviously excruciatingly punny.
And, I can’t lie here… the whole polishing your shoes thing kinda freaked me out a little.
And Tara, you totally got me… it’s about pants AND boots.
hilarious!!! I can so relate to your jean situation. I ,too, once had the perfect pair of Levi’s that I purchased on clearance for $8.00 and wore them for 5 years before they had to be retired *sob*.
I can’t stop laughing at this post… the humping of the boots woulda been great, my wish for you is that you find another pair of boots that are hump-worthy.
I miss you guys & I love ya!
