“Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess.” — Edna Woolman Chase
good news, sports fans: i'm getting my body back.
every season, i fight for it all over again -- the size 4 body i had when i came to new york city a million years ago. i don't fight for it out of vanity, either. sure, it's a job requirement. pulling this off certainly feels like a full time job. and yes -- after years of living hand to mouth with absolutely no insurance whatsoever, i consider maintaining a lean, strong, healthy body with exercise, clean food and vitamins to be preventative medicine. the real reason is that i'm simply too cheap and/or broke to buy new clothes. i love my vintage dresses, pencil skirts and what little designer items i have too much to throw them away. i'm not trendy enough to keep up with what's hip. wearing the latest fashions takes a lot of money. most of that stuff looks pretty tacky on me, anyway.
why, it's almost as though i'm about to get a new wardrobe because i'll be able to wear all these clothes i haven't been able to fit into in ages. more on that some other time.
what's my big secret? i stopped eating garbage and got my butt to the gym everyday. i try to make it happen in the morning because although i love the way exercise makes my backside look, i really don't like doing it. and no, i'm not a morning person.
here's an interesting little clip about how little exercise it takes to change your life.

Well, Queen that exercise is doing you good because the last time I saw you which was at the Jazzmobile event in Central Park, you looked fabulous and you were wearing that dress!
