First, let me admit that I want this outfit. I imagine that I would be prepared to do anything in these clothes and I would feel so powerful. The elements would not harm me. Little wings would sprout from my feet. And, as a friend who lived in HK for ten years lamented to me, people in NYC would be appalled. If so, it’s their fault for being behind the fashion curve.
Jeanne in Beijing saw this lady on Di’anmen St. and pointed out that her tube socks match her arm tubes, causing her to be: “very minimally exposed to the sun and maintain ultimate fashion savvy while doing it.” Furthermore, “She even has the ultimate hipster accessory: tunnel-vision focus on her smartphone – I snapped a bunch of photos without her ever even looking up.” Right on.

My brother asked me why a quote in this “story” sounded so, well, messed up:
President of Warner Bros. Pictures, Dan Fellman said, “We conclude the faithfulness of Harry Potter fans as well as assimilate that they have been watchful 10 years for this moment. We can’t wait for to uncover them the movie, that you hold delivers upon each level, so you have been putting the movie out upon as most screens as probable in an bid to prove direct from seashore to coast. We wish to safeguard that fans who have been counting down to the culmination will have each possibility to see it, early as well as often, as well as you goal that they will take value of the event to watch all their the one preferred characters in 3D for the initial time, that is an knowledge not-to-be-missed.”After a little digging, my best guess is that it was double auto-translated - from English and back again - from the original press release, where the quote appears:
In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “We appreciate the loyalty of Harry Potter fans and understand that they have been waiting 10 years for this moment. We can’t wait to show them the movie, which we believe delivers on every level, so we are putting the film out on as many screens as possible in an effort to satisfy demand from coast to coast. We want to ensure that fans who have been counting down to the finale will have every chance to see it, early and often, and we hope that they will take advantage of the opportunity to watch all their favorite characters in 3D for the first time, which is an experience not-to-be-missed.”I told him not to go to stupid non-news websites anymore.
“Artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera has taken to the streets of Paris to repair unsightly potholes and cracks with braids and braids of colorful yarn.”
Pending an official vote tomorrow at noon, this will be the new legislative map of New Jersey.
