Maybe this is no secret, but when you wear short shorts your legs look really good. And then when you pair short shorts with huge heels, they look even better. If after that you pair your short shorts and heels with a see-through lace top, you've reached the pinnacle of how good your legs will be, because they look like they're coming up to your neck. I feel like I've been reading The Hoochie's Guide To Fashion and I can't put it down! Lucite heels, here I come?

Having an Asian mom is one of my greatest blessings, because they are absolutely hilarious. I even feel sorry for people who don't have Asian moms, because if you don't have one, then who the heck is giving you the straight ugly truth about anything? For example, in high school they had these "safe sex" seminars where they would be all "hey you're having sex? That's cool. Just make sure you're using condoms or birth control, ok?" As if carrying around a tiny raw egg for a week deterred anyone from having sex. My mom on the other hand, told me she was going to give it to me straight. She told me that if I had sex, I would get pregnant at 16 and then my entire life would be over because I'd be married to the idiot that got me pregnant and living with my parents forever and I'd have a "used up and dying body (lol)." That's some powerful words. But she's like that with everything, big or small. "Oh, no make-up today? Ew. Go put on some make-up" or "Your two front teeth are going buck" or "Sneakers with skirts? That's ugly... really not cute." And that's pretty much what I heard this whole weekend. I told her she was rude, but she says she's the only one that's really got my back. It's true. Without her, I could be out there make-up less, with buck teeth, wearing sneakers with skirts looking like a hot mess. That's what I call a mother's love.

Whenever I have doubts about whether or not I'm too old to wear something, like micro-mini skirts, I always ask if Heidi Klum would wear it. Not that I have anything in common with a German Sports Illustrated supermodel, but she's older and awesome and if she does it, then I feel like I can do it too because Heidi Klum did it. She's kind of our cougar icon. She also wears a lot of short hoochie skirts and skimpy clothes, so most of the time the answer is yes. In fact, the only times the answer is no is when something is perfectly conservative. Like "would Heidi Klum wear this very functional and practical white V-neck sweater" She probably would, but only because she wanted to be boring. But mini-skirts were a no-brainer. Now that I've passed the Heidi test, I should have asked her how I can sit down in one of these micro-mini skirts without announcing my crotch to the world.
