Happy birthday to me

 

February 28.  I share the same birthday as Bugsy Siegel, exactly 60 years apart.  This is a big deal in astrology and Chinese astrology, if you believed in that crap.  It means that Bugsy Siegel and I are the exact same person.  The biggest difference between Bugsy and me is that he died 19 years younger than me.  But I guess to the astrologers, I have the same soul as a boss of the Jewish mob (now known as Israel) who was betrayed and murdered by his own people.  Over money.

I put my faith in Allah.  I do not join any partners in worship with Allah.

Oh look, they put Mary's face on screen!

How does it feel to be a rock star?

 

Honey, I have the dreadful feeling that you're going to dress poorly for the Paris Fashion Week.  Probably because you want to rebel against the beauty standard, you look at the crowd and you see they all dress like slobs, or you feel uncomfortable about it.  The solution is to kick ass at their own fashion game!  You're not not the crowd Grace, you're the rock star.  You may want to try to be colorful or perhaps flamboyant.  The bottom line is that it has to be nice to look at.  You can get all the material you need from thrift stores in Nashville.  Experiment, and be loud!  It's not the streets of Hollywood, it's Paris Fashion Week!  Dress like a rock star, Grace!

Sure, Wolfgang is a rock star because his daddy is.  But what would the show below be if he sang lead instead of David Lee Roth?

"I'm never wearing this dress again."

"How about you you wear it with an oversize pink fur coat?"

Don't dress like slobs during Fashion Week!  The whole band.  Be creative and nice to look at.  Creativity doesn't need much money.  You represent the USA, so don't be like Trump.

Awkwardly intimate.

Tour!

 

Ugh, I ate some grapes last night and they were poison!  It totally ruined my dinner.  I can't eat fresh grapes, I keep forgetting!  Never again, inshaAllah.  If I had been traveling, I would have been miserable and made the people around me miserable.  A serious word of advice to you: eat only boring and predictable food when you travel.  Don't take risks with your stomach when on tour, Grace.

"No, I wouldn't wear this in a blizzard."

Music and fashion

 

Hm, the Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026-2027 calendar is out, you should study it.  It begins March 2 until March 10, while you will be there March 3 until March 10.  Why did they make you miss the first day?  Why do you have to be there the entire week if you are only invited to one show?

To me, the event is a tourist attraction.  You are there to spend money.  While it may not seem like a blessing, music does go with fashion.  They can't live without each other.  So spend the money and play music while you are there.  Enjoy yourself.  Bring your band along and play on the streets.  Play outside the fashion shows.  There will most likely be other bands there on the streets.  You might make new friends (or not).  And who knows, you might get good at fashion.  Beware of the parties, though.

The video below is 2 years old, but it is a nice and short explanation of the Fashion Week event.

High fashion

 

Tastes like chicken!  But what about the clothes?  How come the diners dress like children?  Is John Galliano the cook?

This non-alcoholic beer tastes awful!  Who drinks this stuff?

The effort

 

Paris in spring!  It must be Fashion Week again.  If you didn't know, Fashion Week is a huge deal and Paris is the mother of all Fashion Weeks.  Didn't you already make some friends there?  They should know what's cool to do.  Can you afford to bring your band?  Maybe a 3 piece, put Prince on bass, play on the streets everywhere and explore Paris that way?  Be safe, OK!  As for the fashion, I hope you get to wear more outfits.  You had the right attitude last time.  Be snooty, not smiley.

I'm trying to master the Qur'an, and that's a huge effort.  Not just the song and lyrics mind you, but the way of life.  So whatever wife I get is what Allah gives me.  Right now, I have never been married.
