It’s a fine balance between living a multicultural lifestyle and coming off as a poser. (Or if you’re into the elitest way of spelling, a “poseur”).
The key, I think, is when one sees something in another culture that one likes, they should incorporate that characteristic into their overall style in a seamless and appropriate way. There’s a difference between someone allowing a culture to inspire specific choices about cuisine, art, or fashion and just parroting a culture.
Enjoy. Unless you’re in Canada. Sorry.
Nyabhingi, indeed.
So, as some of you may have heard, we had a baby boy this past Wednesday, August 12th! And by “we” I mean “I”. I had a baby boy while my husband did the best he could to participate.
Really, though, I feel he was the model husband and father throughout the entire process, being both present and encouraging while looking tremendously guilty all the while. If it wasn’t confirmed before, it is now… my husband is perfect.
Thank you so much for your comments on the blog and Facebook, I am really overwhelmed by all the love.
In unrelated news, never give your password to Adam Avitable. He may look like a grown up on the outside, but he is, in fact, a twelve ten eight seven year old on the inside. A very disturbed seven year old that should be going to the school for “bad” kids, but can’t because even they don’t want him.
And, hello, I am not a Democrat. I’m a fiscally conservative socially conscious liberal with strong suspicions of government involvement in our personal lives and those of other nations. So, given Tariq’s unabashed love for free market capitalism, I think we may have a libertarian on our hands.
Either way, I am officially a mother of two. I have kids. I can say things like, “I have to go pick up the kids.” Or, “Be quiet, the kids are sleeping.”
Or, “Aren’t my kids beautiful?”
