"A Horde of Sluts and Ragamuffins Surges Forth"

I made dinner. Now my apartment is coated in the smell of Chinese food. It may be a good thing for some who loves Chinese food (ie. Jeremy). Not so good when I wake up in the middle of the night gagging on the smell of fried oyster mushrooms.

Something I realized about food and cooking: I love the first and am very good at the latter (seriously, I one time cooked a pot roast, "taste-blindedly"; as in I'm vegetarian and wouldn't taste the dish I created but still cooked it to perfection. Or so I was told). After this recent discovery, I can add cooking to my hobbies repertoire.  

Something completely off topic but will serve to relate to whole cooking thing is that I want to get an iphone or some sort of devise through which I can access Instagram. That way I can document every creative thing I do all the time, such as the food that I make.

I wore a fur jacket and got overheated right away so a nice light blazer is what I settled on.

I work with kids. Kids sometimes ask questions that catch you off guard. This is what one of the kids at my work asked me today about my outfit. I gotta say, the conversation really had me thinking about what fashion means to me.

L: "Hey Xu, why is your shirt tucked into your pants?"

X: "Ummm...why is your shirt not tucked into your pants?"

L: " (Laughs) Seriously,  I'm just curious about your style."

X: "Well, it's the vintage look...styles that were popular in the past."

L: "Oh. But why do you want to dress like people in the past?"

X: "I guess it's kind of like commemorating them. Do you know who Coco Channel is?"

L: "I've heard of that name."

X: "She was a fashion designer that kind of revolutionized the way women dress. She sort of popularized pants and suits for women because that's what she liked to wear herself."

L: "So you want to be like Coco Chanel?"

X: "In a way, yeah. I want to be inspired and she inspires me to dress how I want to."

L: "I think I understand now."
