American Apparel launched their nail polish line! There are 18 colors and sell for $6 a bottle or in 3-packs for $15. HA! Is there anything they DON’T make?

Sir Cecil Beaton
Today was one of those really good days when things just work out. You know, one of those days where you don’t really have to try hard but everything just falls into place. I hung out with a couple girlfriends today and started off our day at Marination Mobile and shared Kalbi Tacos, Kalua Pork Sliders, and a Kimchi Quesadilla. So so so delicious. I wasn’t a total fan of the quesadilla, but the tacos and the sliders made the trip more than worth it. After, we drove down to Pike Place Market where we got parking right away (wow!) and ate cheesecake + snickerdoodle cookie with a hot cup of coffee at La Panier… and the sun came out! Then I shopped for the rest of the day and ended it with dinner at BBQ Chicken on the “The Ave.”
So full. So happy. So gonna regret this tomorrow morning.
I realize that there is this fine, undetectable line that couples cross at some point (given that they are together long enough). The line comes and passes like a ninja, throwing the two couples into confusion and maybe into a few fights - but they often don’t know why or how it happened. What is this line?
So, this is my theory. There is a point in any relationship (i.e. dating, friendships, family, etc.) when what used to be a favor turns into a responsibility. For example, when dating is all brand new, the girl doesn’t expect him to pull out chairs or tell her she’s amazing everyday… so when he does do these things - often or not - the girl is surprised and everything is sunshine and daisies.
UNTIL
one day, the girl transitions from having no expectations to having high ones and the boy transitions from hero to zero, to lazy and unappreciative. Suddenly, the boy stops pulling out chairs, stops telling her she’s amazing everyday and, simultaneously, the girl is beginning to get pissed off everyday because the boy isn’t meeting her expectations.
Maybe the solution here is two-fold. (1) For both people to know that this line exists and WILL be crossed; knowledge is power. (2) For guys/friends/families to put their rear into gear and stop slacking off.
The end.
