And on locavore websites, converts swap shopping tips (Goatsbeard Farm feta from a Missouri cook) and recipes (cheese grits via a Georgia blogger who plugs a stone-ground variety from a mill powered by a mule named Luke). Some boast of eating local on a budget-- $8.34 a day in the case of an Oakland, Calif., activist who got by on sorrel-potato soup and honey-sweetened cookies for dinner. But she confesses, "Let's face it. I can't go without chocolate forever!" For others...

The photography is also phenomenally creative—Boman nestles a pale green mule among ferns as homage to Blahnik’s recurring botanical themes. If you really love her or really want action, pair the artful book with “Sex and the City-The Complete Series” DVD set, in which the sublime stilettos play an important supporting role...
...brilliant, or the most brilliantly objectionable, way to present yourself based on past behavior.We might also want to consider when exactly society lost its sense of humor. If I want to someday dress my small child in a shirt that declares, “I am not a drug mule,” or “Yeah, I was in the shit,” (which are actual baby-sized T-shirts for purchase on glarkware.com) I would hope people won’t hunt me down for using my offspring for amusement or for endorsing slightly more delicate...
