...forms. In order to handle this contingency, I offer you: THREE ANKLE-HIGH TIPS 1) Do not pretend that you are not wearing ankle boots by covering them up with jeans. Not only does this completely defeat the purpose of ankle boots but it also makes you look like Axl Rose when he tried to sport cornrows. It is that bad of an idea. 2) Wear your ankle boots with leggings. Then go on a Venetian gondola and get molested by a tiger. 3) Do not wear ankle boots with colored tights, as you will look like a horrible, demonic...
...like a bomb, rather than up, each focuses on one of the book's six major characters, then repeats the cycle. Each set begins with Ray Beam, a burnt-out pop star of ten years ago whose descent from debauched musical godling to weird, unproductive recluse resembles that of Axl Rose.

Instead, he seemed muted by the mature, dour loneliness that fills his latest album, a beautiful group of breakup dirges called Sea Change...
...laughing side of a human being is any less them than the side where they're depressed." Beck has a tough time staying serious, even when performing his new songs. During a brief tour in August, he alternated between ballads, covers, requests from the audience and improvised riffs about Axl Rose. "I may ruin my career tonight," he giddily told the audience.
