The Birds

JUSTIN FOX BURKS

We spotted Hannah King dressing the window at Burke's Book Store, but it was her dress that really caught our eye.

A flea market find, the dress is flocked with birds, birds, and more birds, and is King's favorite.

"It's comfortable," she explains, "and I like the design. When I don't know what to wear, it's my 'go-to' item."

She paired the dress with a cardy from Target and Forever 21 skinny pants.

"I've been doing this forever," she says of the pants/dress combo. "I do it whenever wearing a dress wouldn't be very practical."

Hannah looks great! I love her comfortable, unique approach to style.

Which only goes to show that one woman's "comfortable" is another man's frumpy.

Well, I think she looks quite fine, and believe me, a Lauderdale knows "fine."

I have a feeling that AliasElias's sense of style is a woman in 6 inch pumps, a mesh thong and boobs the size of beach balls! I see this woman all the time at Burke's bookstore and she has a a wonderfully unique sense of style.

I'm quite confident that most of the people posting about this (including me) have no business criticizing others' appearances. Just sayin'.

And what exactly is wrong that?????? I'm just sayin'.

Let me tell you from experience, mad merc, that women with "boobs the size of beach balls" are more trouble than they are worth. If you are lucky enough to get a date with such an Amazonian creature, you can barely squeeze her in the front seat of your car, you can just about forget going to the movies or a play, and later when it's time to "get frisky," shall we say, well, just one of those things can flop over on top of you, much like a playful whale, and smother the life out of you! The 9-1-1 operators still guffaw over the call I made after just such a near-death incident. Be warned.

Thanks for the laugh Vance. Alias_Elias' comment just reminded me of the first wife! I can completely empathize with your tale and whole-heartedly endorse your warning.

And for the record, nothing disparaging was meant towards Hannah. She looks very cute and quite happy which, after all, is the most important thing.
