Because you're in the public eye, and God knows you need to look good.
Darlings, I will be rant-reviewing a catalogue I received yesterday for plus sizes. There will be lessons for ALL on fit and fashion!
Stay tuned!
For now: church fair, pastoral call, grocery shopping, checking in with moms of baby we’re dedicating tomorrow in the service, finishing touches on worship service, laundry, and dog walksies with the hound.
Hi pigeons!
I’m back to work after almost two weeks off.
Nothing right now except that MotherBang thinks that I AM this character from “Kung Fu Panda 3” and I must agree. I love MeiMei already.
Pro tip: When you get together a good outfit for an evening meeting after having worked at home in yoga pants and a winter coat all day, save the exact outfit, down to socks and earrings, for work the next day.
Not having to think saves precious brain cells that you need to stay warm!
Nothing in particular, dearies, just saying hello from my warm, humid study where I sit surrounded by piles of papers and unshelved books.
How are you?
What’s on your mind, coming up that you have to dress for, etc.?
Kiss of peace, PB
Someday, remind me to do a dramatic reading of the spam comments I get.
Pigeons!
I have not forgotten nor forsaken you!
I am just crazy busy right now, thinking about the summer, planning for next year, wrapping up this program year, doing administration with my peeps, and opening a show at the end of the month! I’m playing Fraulein Schneider in “Cabaret,” which is a very fulfilling thing to be doing. Creative expression is always good and inspiring and I’m working with a great team on this show.
I have had a SPY at the Festival of Homiletics reporting frumpiness to me with PHOTO EVIDENCE that makes me gasp. Seriously depressing! WHAT ARE RELIGIOUS LEADERS THINKING, THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH LOOKING LIKE THAT?
The hair. Oh, the hair. The outfits. I cry unto the LORD.
Meanwhile, I see on a pigeon’s Facebook page that the Terminally Naive are still unclear on the concept of why appearance and image matter as they whinge away about why we shouldn’t care what shoes we wear in the pulpit. A misguided, righteous soul sniffs that it’s a shame we have to have the shoe conversation at all, and I want to hand him a tissue and say, “Yes, dear, isn’t it hard to be alive in 2015 North America when the Church enjoys so little remaining honor and assumed cultural privilege that clergy actually have to put some effort into looking like they’re a relevant part of today’s world?”
GET WITH THE PROGRAM, HONEY.
I do want to let you Oregon readers know that I will be leading a workshop the weekend of June 20 in Portland, so stay tuned for more info on that.
And now off to do some grocery shopping, ’cause mama’s gotta put some baked beans in the Crock Pot so she has easy meals for the next busy week.
How have you been? Comment! MWAH!
