I don't think you're retarded

Some thought-provoking reading to carry you through your lunch break...

As I wrote in my comment on Ms. Anti DC's blog late last night, I don't disagree with everything she wrote, but I will shake my head, raise my voice and interject at her assertion that every woman in this city already understands and accepts the concept of figure-flattering dress, therefore rendering useless a good two-thirds of my daily advice.

Were that the case, I wouldn't have felt such a strong need to launch this blog.

If you hadn't already noticed, I'm loath to start a "what do you want to see on this blog?" blogger-reader dialogue, and that is mainly because I want the vast majority of my posts to remain as unexpected for you as they are for me. I want to decide in the heat of the moment to write a post on vintage coats or Amy Winehouse or somehow tie my precious pup into a narrative on the demise of age-appropriate dress.

But after reading the author's impassioned and well-evidenced critique, I'm beginning to wonder if I should give reader feedback a greater role in determining the direction of at least part of ASJiNE.

So, if you feel strongly that a few, most or all of the topics I raise on this site are headed in a "mundane" or overly "fashion 101" direction, pipe the 'eff up and let me -and others- know of your dissatisfaction so that I'm at least cognizant of the problem and can better prepare my sensitive ego for another one of these scathing online opinion pieces.

Happy Friday!

as you were,
Johanna
