Those glossies

Some time ago I blogged about how I came to be in possession of a number of glossy magazines here. Clearly I am not the target audience for these magazines, at least most of them. When I look at some (really most) of the styles in the Vogue I find them somewhat hideous - I cannot imagine myself wearing some of those outfits (or makeup either). And if there was any doubt about me being the right audience for these, this little full-page disabused me of any such thoughts: So the caption clearly says "What to Wear to Work This Summer" and the outfit looks ok, but look at the accessories. I've enlarged the watch below. I am not sure who exactly can afford to wear that watch to work this summer, but I know it is not me.

Spring Soccer

Rainbows Superstars Pixies Hello Kitties Shooting Stars Unicorns Lady Dragon Dolphins Orange Crushers Lady Bugs Red Hot Chili Peppers Water Lilies Super Spys Fireballs Storm Troopers Ninjas Wildcats Sidewinders Firebirds Speedy Sharks Secret Agents Speeders These are the names of the soccer teams in the boys U-6 and girls U-6 league that my son played in over spring. The colour scheme is meant to confuse, but from the names I bet you guessed that the first list is the girls teams and the second, the boys.
