I MISS FRATERNITY PARTIES.

Sep 3rd

AEB: I know out of all the people I know, you can help me on this one: jean shorts rock.
CR: Where, oh where do I begin? Jean shorts are the peanut butter to my jelly, the Lucy to my Desi. They add a little bit of river rat to the sweetest, lightest, most innocent summer blouse. They bring an outfit to earth while simultaneously elevating one's legs, mood, self esteem. Whether cuffed or cut off, designer or heirloom, high-waisted or Daisy Duke, jean shorts give every girl that Lolita element - the confidence of knowing that no matter how prissy or chic the rest of her wardrobe, when she dons that tiny scrap of frayed denim, she is sex on legs, sipping a Bud Light, sucking a lollipop, peering out over the tops of her sunglasses, and begging the world, "Just try to ignore me in these."
AEB: You blog too much, CR. But I still love you.
