Hi, Wednesday...did my thing this am and went to the gym super early, so feeling pretty ace at the moment while I drink some coffee and listen to a little Aaliyah (How great was she? More than a Woman? Love).
Last night over a lovely bottle of Loire Valley rosé, I realized I wanted to open up the floor to all of you who have been so encouraging and faithfully read these humble posts. Starting next week, I'll be doling out some advice, fashion or otherwise (whatever you want), once a week in a sort of "Ask Maven" column if you will. So send me your questions no later than Sunday and I will craft an answer for you...really think of anything- I'm not pretending to know everything, but surely i can give you a bit of point of view, non? Do it. If you have questions, email me at sherimaven@gmail.com. I'm happy to answer...just don't ask me about math. I suck at that.
In other news, I was not even going to mention the hoo ha surrounding Ms. Jenna Lyons of J. Crew fame, and her controversial ad featuring her young son, in painted, neon pink toenails. Listen, I don't want to give this ridiculous assassination on her character too much attention- but you kind of have to worry about a nation that freaks out when they see a little boy in toenail polish. Maybe Ms. Lyons only mistake was overestimating the intelligence and sense of humor of the American public- in Europe, would this really be as big a deal, I wonder? It boggles the mind truly, in an age of deep financial hardship, natural disasters, and widespread pain and suffering that this many idiots would be so concerned about such things. And that's all I'm going to say, as trying to figure out why people in this country are so Victorian is futile. But at least if there's a witch hunt, Jenna Lyons will surely have the best wardrobe for an inquisition, non?
So back to the advice column- ask away. I'll be awaiting your responses in my inbox on all matters. Still trying to figure out what day to post the column, but I'll get there. Cause that's what's up this hot pink Wednesday in the MIA. Send your inquiries to sherimaven@gmail.com. I'm just here to help. XO
