a practice in vanity

to look smashing in those chic cigarette pants (i am at least 10 lbs away from that)

to lessen my perfectionist, high-maintainence tendencies

to find a balance between frugality and indulgence

I am a pupil of wit, of Stephen Fry’s variety, to be precise. the hard pill to swallow is that Fry layers his charm on a solid platform of intellect, wisdom, and humanity.  to make comparisons will only cause my self-esteem to drop. but one has to start somewhere.
