multi tasking

we are holed up in different parts of the planet...but the sense of sisterly solidarity satisfies me as i am sprawled on the white linen (egyptian cotton, ta)bed, SATC (season 3) blaring on the samsung flat screen, painfully swallowing (throat infection) concoctions of salt-saturated coke (non diet!) and chewing panadol tablets, all whilst researching suitable outfits for melbourne, knowing that somewhere Tianbabes has a MC on her desk, whilst she goes through editions of Nylon (digital), Lucky, Jane, Glamour and Instyle and i don't know what else, at the speed of light...the spines uncreased, the edges of the pages unbent.
i have a vacuum-packed limited edition of Harpers Bazaar's goddess edition. perhaps i will buy another copy to read and leave this one unopened...i think Tianbabes would approve.

it is with slight annoyance that i notice that after 4 hours in the sun, i am now a pleasing shade of brown...except for one ankle which is mysteriously still yellow
