Montclair’s Russian spies — who we now know are Vladimir and Lydia Guryev — have left the country. After a week of speculation, LeBron James signed with the Miami Heat. For the forseeable future, the temperatures are back to the 80′s and 90′s. What will we have to talk about now?
Ok, here’s one idea, we can talk about whether Lydia Guryev’s steaming over all the attention fellow-spy Anna Chapman got. After all, Lydia was pretty cute, wasn’t she? Maybe she was just dressing middle-aged?
Baristaville’s Pam Satran dishes on the worst summer looks over on her blog, How Not to Act Old, today. And she told us what she thinks are the worst local offenses.
I’d say in Baristaville the most middle-aged summer look is the capri pant. I wear them and am not about to give them up, but they definitely say, “I’m over 40 and will only expose my thinnest body part, my ankles.” Long baggy shorts worn with socks and running shoes on guys is a total dad look.
So did Cynthia/Lydia wear capris? Marquette Road neighbors, here’s your last chance to stretch your 15 minutes into 16. And if that’s not a topic that interests you, there’s always the temperature of the ketchup at the Maplewood pool concession stand.
How about the Commonwealth Club really outdid themselves this year and took first prize again? Congrats to the Commonwealth Club on your win!
Who stole the Baristanet thumbs?
Thumbs down for the thumbs gone!
On the other hand – thumbs Up for having the thumbs gone.
I read where the returnees are going to be given a stipend of $2,000 a month. I wonder, just what are the taxes on a 4-BR, 2-BA Dacha in Peredelkino?
Please bring back the thumbs — it is the only way I ever get to communicate with the trolls. |;>})
The “How not to Act Old” lady continues giving advice that suggests she should change the name of her blog to the much more accurately titled “How not to BE Old”.
My 29 year old wife wears capris… So did most of the girls I went to HS and college with and a lot of the children I see running around town in the summer. It’s not the shorts that are making you look old, it’s the 40 year old legs sticking out the bottom of them (and please, for the love of god, do not wear anything shorter!).
And “baggy shorts with socks and running shoes” as opposed to, what? If you were talking about socks with sandals, then yeah, that one pretty much screams “Middle-aged suburban dad” or “I’m a d-bag”… depending on how old the person wearing them is.
Wayne, I went to give you a “Thumbs Up” for your comment, but Alas, No Thumb….Sigh….
Germany losing.
Mike…Does your lucky 29 year old wife know that you will not want to look at her bare body in a few years?? I hope she saw your post and realizes her days are numbered.
By the way, I am a model. Really. Not even kidding. I am over 40 and my “forty year old legs” look really great with nothing on them at all or poolside “sticking out of” my string in my bikini. Feel free to avert your eyes should you ever be accidentally invited to my house.
Also the LaPrenza hate America firster useful idiot is going to live in her socalist paradise! Good Riddance. Let her rail against Putin and see what happens. Karma is as karma does.
