This totally made my day, and most probably my entire week. Today I was at my favorite café working on my laptop, headphones plugged into my ears. I noticed an old woman dressed in a electric blue muumuu looking at me as she grabbed a free newspaper from the rack just a few tables away from me. I thought nothing of it and she went out the front door, returning to her coffee sitting on the table outside. 20 minutes later she came back inside and this time stopped at my table and motioned for me to take out my headphones. I took them out and expected her to tell me my music was too loud or that I’ve violated some sort of café code when she tells me this:

"You look like an orange sherbert."

Mind you, I was wearing my new fluorescent orange striped t-shirt I found in the Target clearance rack (score!). Yeah, its bright but its not that crazy. Anyways, her comment totally delighted me and I couldn’t help but notice that she was totally decked out in blue, from the muumuu to her turquoise patent leather pumps. I had to. So I replied:

"And you look like a blueberry…. er… ice-"

"Muffin. A blueberry muffin?" she interrupted.

"Yeah! A blueberry muffin!"

Then I thought, oooh… not good, since she was kinda short and plump. She thought it was funny (I mean, she’s the one who offered it) but I thought it was a little off, so I added  "no, like blueberry sorbet!" But she was already on the move and had no time for my stupid retorts. She was the one with the zinger, she made the zing and bam; went back out the front door. I totally chuckled to myself thinking, "who says something like ‘you look like an orange sherbert’ to a complete stranger with headphones in their ears?" Honestly, I think its rad and it really needs to happen more often.

I’d just like to throw this question out there: Have you ever wondered what happens when you put James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince together on the same stage? Well, wonder no more.  Its 1987 and James Brown is having a coked out telethon where  nothing makes sense and the props aren’t properly secured onto the stage. MJ? Very cool indeed, makes you instantly wonder, "damn, wtf happened to this guy..?" Then comes Prince. Makes you instantly wonder, "daaaamn, wtf is this guy ON?" I can safely say that this is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. If its too much for you to take then at least watch the last few seconds. It… really couldn’t end any better… (extra points if you can spot the Santa that Prince rides in on.)
Mucho thanks to Señor Steve for passing this gem along.

In case you need to waste some time when you should really be, say, working tirelessly on updating your portfolio, then please go to http://hel-looks.com/ and check out Helsinki’s street fashion. The best part is today’s post which showcases one tough 3-year-old named Jermu. He’s wearing an eagle t-shirt and flower socks. He also likes red, cars and legos. Solid.

Spent all day trying to make this post work and now that its 1:00am and its successfully up, my official verdict is:
awwwwesssssome.
