Chicago Living Tip: SPECIAL
Thursday, December 16th, 2004on Michigan Avenue you can always tell a tourist from a native because she’ll be wearing a mini-skirt and he’ll be sporting a trendy biker leather. as any Chicagoan will tell you, winter is not the time to be fashion conscious! keep the following in mind:
if you follow the above list, then you, too, can feel smug and superior while you’re waiting for the bus or the train and some fool has their hands shoved in their pockets, their shoulders hunched by their ears, and face red as a fire hydrant. you, on the other hand, will be warm and toasty.
i didn’t listen to myself on Saturday and went out wearing just a sweater when i should have worn a coat. now i’m paying for it because i’m sick and i hate being sick and i hate chicken soup and my cat’s tail landed in my bowl just before i wrote this, and that was what made me decide to post this tip today instead of Monday morning. if i can save someone from having a tail in their soup, i’ll be able to rest easier.
