Growing up near Madison, I'm waaaaaaaay deep here, Not Seeing The Forest For The Trees...(!!!!)
Am INSANELY curious what other parts of the country envision as a "Madison, WI" type.......!
These things intrigue me, PLEASE advise.....!
Oh, and that yellow beribboned frock - top shelf stuff ! !
THOSE shoes, swishing round with demure black ribbons on the heels, not about to be outdone by the yellow sash.....festive and fab.....Cheers, Alison
Please advise.............These things intrigue me!
Oh, and that beribboned frock (last pic) is TOP shelf. Check those shoes (not to be upstaged by the yellow sash) sporting the demure lil black ribbons are SO fab and festive!! Cheers, Alison
the above comment was this:
shopbop-is based in madison, WI. when i think of madison, i think of very pretty, patrician, collegiant.
but then for some reason, all the models do these stripper, come hither poses. sort of, bad attempts at 'hot'that end up being ridiculous.
so to me, they're this really funny mix, of girl from a good family meets stripper.
Your refreshing, forthright and spot on points of view from cross the country are fascinating and a great study! !
If I might say so, a Wisconsin stereotype typically involves heifers & cheesecurds - so your insight, BB8, is MORE than welcome and WOW, better than I've ever heard!
You could be a WI ambassador...How about a yellow sash???ha! Cheerio, Alison
great shopping. and every girl i've ever known from there, has that pretty, 'from a good family' look.
the things that has always cracked me up about wisconsin are:
the accent, 'go paaackers'
the 'fish fry' stories
the stories of snow mobile driving from pub to pub (are they pubs? they have a diff. name for bars)
OH! and 'cheese curds'. what the hell are those?
Fair and carnival concessions offer these babies deep fried in beer batter......
But who am I to flaunt WI dairy prowess, isn't CA neck-in-neck with WI?!?!?!?
When you get there, check out his "gallery" you'll get lost for hours........enjoy!

this commentary is just another example of your poor judgment, poor journalistic skills (typos and grammatical errors galore!). i mean what idiot blogger shoots themselves in the foot by bashing Martha Stewart AND using the f-bomb in said commentary? girl, you not only have the most L.A. bad taste possible, you're also really, really dumb. don't expect ANY publication or company to buy ads or your 'pro-ad' blog after that inane statement.
and as far as I can tell, you're marrying a sleazy, flirt-behind your back, dirt bag, and spending a bloody fortune all in the name of 'love'. dumb, dumb, dumb. so NOT what love is about as they say in L.A. and, as you would say, good fucking luck.
but please don't bash my S.O. who has done incredible philanthropic work in our community by starting a program for kids whose families are dealing with cancer. he continues to be a wonderful friend, inspiration and mentor to many, many people. he has more integrity than 99% of the people in this world.
BB8 is a dear friend of mine. She is warm, bright and lovely. She is also a supportive and loyal friend. Your comments were nasty and intentionally hurtful; notice that she did not respond in kind. You are the one who should be ashamed. Furthermore, Martha Stewart is a felon and you are defending her. I think most would agree that that is a far greater transgression than using the word "fuck."
I have had drinks and dinner with BB8's S.O., introduced him to my beloved and witnessed how good he is to her. He is a nice and generous man. They are having the wedding they want. How does that harm you and why does that make you so angry? If Martha Stewart were getting married it would likely be an outrageously opulent affair.
Regarding grammar and punctuation, don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. The body of your comment isn't exactly flawless. Have you ever heard of capitalizing proper nouns?
BB8: You are one of the finest bloggers out there...we love your biting sharp wit and exquisite taste on the east coast! Keep it up however you like!
it's so funny that a blog about trivial shit like design could evoke such ire in a complete stranger. did they sleep much last night? did thoughts of bb8 make them toss and turn?
i mean, this person can attack my obvious lack of using spell check or complete disregard of proper punctuation (because it's all true and so what? i'm no journalist!)
but what's with the anger around me personally? it's just so bizarre. a total stranger just so pissed off at me because of a blog.
weird. and i'm guessing this person is on a series of meds.
I've spent time with BB8's S.O. as well, and he's funny, smart, kind, and loves her and her kids absolutely. The two of them together are a great fit. The four of them are a family. And he knows the value of family. He also has dedicated his life to taking care of people he doesn't know (children) in the worst times of their lives. I wonder if you can come close to being as generous as he? I doubt it, or you'd not be posting petty responses on a blog. How silly of you.
It's sad that you not only feel compelled to bash her because she's better than you and is leading a happy and productive life, including a bright future with the man she loves, but also that you do it under a pseudonym that drips with bitterness. How brave you are.
It's a pity you're envious to such a hateful degree. Hell, I'm envious of her, but for all the right reasons, and happy for her in all of her successes.
In my experiences online, I've encountered grammar nazis like you before. You're always so concerned about the insignificant because you're control freaks. Control your own sad life and leave BB8's alone.
But she doesn't need me to defend her - she's pretty good at deflecting your pettiness. She's that kind of person - she just feels sorry for you.
