Mints and the Peach Pit
Dear People Who Read This Site, “George”, Girl, That Euro, Special C, Dr. Chris, Medicine Woman, The (Other) O.C., (Get Back) JoJo, Beloved Retailers, Almost as Beloved Press, and Especially Beloved Potential Investors,
Just a quick update on the goings-on here at the Mint HQ. First, there are a number of new retail outlets that are giving Embittermints a whirl, so please take a whirl by them and buy, buy, buy! Embittermints are also going to be featured at couple of benefits over the summer, the first of which is for the New York Legal Assistance Group tomorrw night. If you received Embittermints at the NYLAG benefit, please do spread the spite to your friends, family, and, if applicable, Oprah.
In other news, I have watched a couple of episodes of Season 1 of Beverly Hills 90210 on SoapNet. A few thoughts -- someone must have really hated Shannen Doherty, because, even by early 90s standards, her clothes were really fugly and stand out from everyone else's due to their fuglitude, which is saying a lot when everyone is wearing their pants up at their armpits. Except Brandon, who looks a lot better than he has a right to. Also, whoever it is that let James "Jim Walsh" Eckhouse play one on one with Brandon in a muscle tee with his back hair raging is a sick, sick person. Ew. Finally, Brenda was right more often than I remember -- they were all out to get her, even Andrea Zuckerman.

Holy cow! I didn't know that 90210 re-runs were on SoapNet. Thanks, Mint Mogul- that's a great tip. Just so happens that I am at home today, procrastinating on my big project. I'm going to watch at 3:00...
I think that the fugliness may have been the earnest attempts of people who hadn't left the cradling vacuum of the Hollywood Hills since before we knew who shot JR, to capture the...um...charm of the Midwest (eh?).
In the same vein of cluelessness, this month's Vogue interviewed high school girls and pronounced them geniuses for mixing Marni pieces with vintage cocktail rings. Now I love Vogue almost as much as I love Alberto Tomba, but this made me shake my head and sigh...much like my mother did throughout my teen years.
Our dear, dear friends on the Coasts, our nation's arbiters of style, are most certainly flawed characters, and could use a mint from time to time...just to keep them grounded in reality.
