I wanted to speak up on the whole *
air kissing* etiquette...
It is a minefield. This came up yesterday when I bumped into someone at a meeting and could see that our greeting was going to cause palpitations. I am somewhat clumsy with my head, and cringe when someone goes to genteelly kiss me on the cheek....
My palms sweat, my pulse quickens and I fumble forward (usually at 57 mph and either bang heads, brush an ear or whack a cheekbone...) You would think my public
humiliation was over - but
apparently round two on the '
tuther side causes an awkward pause, then lunge.
I am an inherent hugger... as I feel more comfortable (and less chance of head injury) in this format. Whilst some folks HATE hugging - I am an all body
embracer.
Anyways, I had a very public air kiss moment... and I apologise to all concerned that I am inept at this kind of greeting. I was raised in the
norf... where you either hugged or spat at. I think the
souf has tried to have its wicked way with me... but I am still an imperfect work of art. At least I can console myself with the fact that
JUDE LAW gets it wrong too... (although who would blame me for
wantonly abandoning all decorum if
he ever went for an air kiss?!!)
BACK ON TOPIC...
I know
Glitz Designs have sneaked some of their
CHA Summer
bling - which is part of a sticker (integral to the design... and no fussing...) well I also spotted this via
Imaginisce (which has to be one of the HARDEST things to figure out to pronounce - I can barely type it correctly ;)These STUDDED STICKERS are sublime, and have the
bling blaring... but without all the faffing and fiddling. I know this means you are stuck with the final design... but luckily these brands are pretty nifty on the design front and have not come up with anything overtly naff.
I am going to play - as I still think jewels are going to be a girl's best friend into 2009...
So up for grabs this week...
