I am a news junkie. First thing I do in the morning is turn on the local news and Today. First thing I do when I get home from work is switch on MSNBC. I get email alerts all day from the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Globe and CNN. I always worry that something is happening that I should know about.There are reasons I remain so loyal to NBC. Part of it is my almost limitless respect for Tim Russert and my genuine affection for (HA!) Chris Matthews. But another part of it is THE CLOTHES.
I love checking out what Meredith Vieria and Campbell Brown are wearing. Today Meredith has a pale pink coat with a big pointy collar. I love it. I could never wear such a coat because I take the el and there's no way I could keep it clean. But I love the collar, and how it looks with her light gray slacks.
Campbell is my favorite. She used to really relish red, but she's experimenting with other colors and has inspired me to do so. I've decided to add rich browns to my predominantly green, blue and lavender wardrobe.
I read Allure and Glamour and More. But I like seeing fashions on women who are moving. (How do those slacks look when she crosses her legs?) And, while these women are certainly fit and beautiful, they neither model thin, nor model young.
Does this make me hideously shallow? (Or even garden-variety shallow?)
