I loathed most of the patterns, but found his use of asymmetry rather well done and there were several vintage inspired dresses that were drool worthy! Now, tongue twisting descriptives like, “the incestuous circle jerk of the fawning fashion press” are one of the many reasons I hope you wil be writing a book someday soon!

Does Mother Superior of Silent Night Deadly Night count? As if Little Billy wasn’t traumatized enough when he saw his parents killed by Santa Claus, he was then raised by a Mother Superior with some pretty warped ideas with just what was “naughty” or “nice”. Then there was the rather extreme ramifications that naughtiness carries. You spotted a couple having sex in the closet? That’s a paddlin’. You left your room while the other kids were playing outside? That’s a paddlin’. Punched Santa Claus in the face during his visit? Better believe that’s a paddlin’. That she would put Little Billy on Santa Claus’ lap and force him to thank Santa for all he’s done is enough to push him to craziness, but to then send him to work at a toy store at Christmastime…well, you’re just trying create a Murderous Santa Monster.

ameliabrideson I don’t know why it grated so much. Maybe after years of Euro abuse I’m too sensitive to it. Thanks for reading, and for your compliments.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed the anti-Americanism! Thank you for pointing it out. Great review.

JamesTuttle And this is by far the most astute comment you’ve written about one of my essays. Thanks so much. Yes, the focusing on the negative realization has helped enormously—once you antennae pick up on what your mind is doing, it’s, like, “Oh, you wily old devil, almost had me going there…”
