welcome to elaney!

However, if you want to know what we think, ask the nice man on the treadmill who watched the tears falling this morning while elaney was running and watching the news.

For more, please see eMum Learns about gchat.

elaney: [insert pointless story about work]
eMum:  “Hmm, that’s great Sweetie!  Okay, I have to go…”
elaney:  “Wait! [insert daily lament about men]”
eMum:  “Yes, that’s true.  Okay, call me after work….”
elaney:  “Okay, but [insert useless description of today's outfit]”
eMum:  “That’s nice.  Now I really have to go.”
elaney:  “PLEASE DON’T HANG UP!!!!!”
eMum:  “I really have to go.”
elaney:  “Pretend like it’s Robert or Carter.”

Reader Kate is on the same topic today, and we are reminded of the importance of coming up with an annual slogan (sidebar – check out Kate’s slogan from ‘07, created by “Laney W”).  After the overwhelming success of “Streamline in ‘09,” we’d like to uncover a slogan that has the same level of attainable success and rewards to reap.  So, we’ve settled on “Find Men in 2010.”  Yep.  If nothing else, that should provide lots of good blog content.

Whenever the subject of tights comes up, eMum likes to mention when 12 year old elaney took hers off while seated in the little acolyte seat in the front of the church.  Appropriate?  No.  But it is important to point out that the tights were really uncomfortable, and no one saw!!

Fast forward to the present, and we say put the tights on!!   Everyone is asking about which and where to wear.  Here’s the thing, you have to go with your own style.  Re:  we recommend the black with lacy patterns (see below) and we looooooove the playful footless tights.  It’s totally possible to pull off more outrageous tights, but you need to have a pretty edgy style (eg in the 16-22 age range, be an actress, live in NYC, etc). 

In terms of footwear, flats are super cute with footless, but we think heels look better with the solid black and the patterned versions.  Have fun!!
