Better than Beer Goggles

Veuve Cliquot goggles

Why did I find these beautiful Veuve Cliquot goggles so late in the season? I don’t ski, or rather I ski so badly that it’s just better for everyone if I say I don’t ski, but I do lounge with astonishing panache, and like Gena Rowlands have made something of a signature of the glasses-as-headband look (yes, I know Plummy does not approve, but she lives in the heart of the godforsaken southern desert, so who’s to tell her, eh?) so these are perfect. I think I’ll pair them with a subtle little outfit combining the devastatingly sexy Norwegian Curling Pants and the subtle hues of the time-worn Hudson’s Bay Jacket. That should be chic enough for any Whistler patio, along with this as a handbag.

Is that a corkscrew in your pocket or are you both injured and happy to see me?

    Oui. That’s it exactly: Ski goggles and Veuve Cliquot or flip flops and Bud Light.

    Oi! I don’t approve of them *at funerals* especially not big white ones. Other than that My classic tortoise shell Ray Bans and I are inseparable. ALSO desert my Aunt Fanny! Austin is in the beautiful rolling Texas hill country. We are practically exploding with vernal splendor!
