ah, the sublime, sophisticated life i lead. spent the afternoon today sunning on the beach, took a dip in the sea, enjoyed a proper espresso (complete with little cups and little stir spoons from the beach-side vendor trucks!). this is so fabulous i'm thinking, i am so fabulous in my hot pink sunglasses and my sporty bikini is working the cleavage just right (just keep all movement to a minimum to reduce jiggling), my choice of beach reading is just funny and clever enough to impress should anyone (english speaking and preferably male) glance to read the cover, my ensemble is tastefully co-ordinated without being 'matchy', i'm tan and shiny and i ordered my espresso in french..i am just too fabulous!..all this i am thinking...until my beach partner informed me that my smart new beach towel was shedding blue fuzzies...all over. i had neglected to wash it before the first use, i was so excited to use it, it really is very smart looking. combine salt water, suntan lotion and cheap chinese fabric dye and what do you get? a not so sophisticated blue backside.
