"You Never Know When You Will Meet The Father of Your Children"

As a female rower- I know that I am not the most feminine of women- I'm taller, heavier, and more muscular than half the male population at this lovely Ivy Institution. Oh and my hands look like they were attacked by a cheese grater.

But, whatever I'm over it.

However, I take great pride, and for that matter I think all of us here at PBH do, in dressing well. Ok, I don't necessarily buy into my mother's nagging belief that " You will never know when you will meet the father of your children" ....however I do believe that I owe it ( at the very least) to myself to look (moderately) good and fashionable every day.

So even on days, when I have pulled myself out of bed at 5 in the morning, rowed a kick butt practice in the rain, and run to 9 am lecture, I make damn sure to put on my favorite skirt and top... my body may feel like it was run over by an elephant... but at least I know it doesn't look like it was splattered by a stampeding animal.

Yeah I love the school pride- and sweats sure are comfy...but why be average? I aspire to greatness on and off the water- why shouldn't that extend to fashion?

At the moment I know I am preaching to the choir (L and K I adore your fashion choices)- but whatever... embrace your inner fashion icon!

Enough with the ranting- now for my fave things at the moment:

• key lime gelato
• Greek ( the TV series- oh Cappie why can't you be real????)
• Kersh knit sweaters
  
• Gossip Girl
  
• Atonement- the book and the movie- not the act of....
  
• And for that matter James McAvoy
• Heirloom Tomatoes
• Audrey Hepburn
• Project Runway
• omeletes
• Venice and Madrid
