"But as far as anorexia is concerned, that's another thing entirely"

H&M has dropped Kate Moss from its planned advertising because of her apparent cocaine use, according to the BBC.

Many of H&M’s customers are teenage girls and the chain said in a statement that Moss was “inconsistent with H&M’s clear dissociation of drugs”.

On the other hand, the chain apparently is OK with models binge/purging and engaging in other sorts of eating disorders. So the rest of the modeling community can breathe easy.

Dashboard Lights That Tell You Your Day Isn’t Going To Go Well…

As I returned home today from dropping Z. off at school, I recieved a notification from my dashboard that was about as welcome as finding a drowned Chinese cockle picker on my lawn. That would be the “low tire pressure” light.

Sure, it’s nice that my shiny new minivan has such wonderful features as a “low tire pressure” light. But generally speaking, that’s not a feature you want to reveal itself less than a month after you bought the damned thing.

Apparently, something nicked the sidewall of rear left tire. When I got out of the van, I heard a loud hiss coming from the rear left side, and I followed the sound to a rather innocent looking little scratch on the tire that was rather non-innocently spewing the tire’s gasses into the atmosphere.

One feature I neglected to opt for when I purchased the van: that damn tire and wheel protection plan. So now it’s sitting over at D&J waiting for a tire.

F***socks.
