Paint markers for cake icing. You know paint markers, you shake them like a spraycan. Graffiti supply stores sometimes sell empty Molotows, if you could get or build an empty and chemical free set of Posca markers you could fill them with that initially-liquid icing used on gingerbread cookies, and add contrast and intricate decoration to fondant

I saw cupcakes at a friend's party that looked like portholes with something like this coming out of it. It was made of sugar. They were awesome.

I think my best job ever was as a personal assistant to an executive. Writing letters and stuff was okay, but having to go pick up stuff and buy things and arrange meetings and such was kind of awesome. He was the spare-no-expense type, too. He'd be all, "Mel, it's going to need flowers, snacks, and drinks. Can you handle that?" "Of course." "Here's my credit card. Get yourself lunch while you're at it."

I vote #211112. Classic and bendable, so if you get hit the face with a nerfball it doesn't snap the frame. Admittedly, #220025 is kind of awesome too, but more absent-professorish.

Damned awesome, but i'm envisioning something cuter.

That sounds like an awesome boss. Did the job feel more Mad Men or Just Shoot Me?

#211112 gets my vote as well, but #220025 isn't going to make the Lennon comparisons exactly stop :(

I'm a big fan of the half-frame ones too, they always look classy, and with the titanium bendy kind, they're probably also light and resistant to breakage.

It was more Mad Men than Just Shoot Me, I guess... he was pretty lenient, except where his shirts were concerned (they had to be pressed JUST RIGHT or back to the dry cleaner they went). It also played on my need to organize and help someone with a clear purpose (unlike in my personal life, where I try to organize and help various men without a clear purpose and it only ends in tears and thrown tupperware). I wish I hadn't moved out of town to be with a boy, I'd have stayed in that job forever, probably.

I'm thinking of applying my "always break or lose them" sunglasses philosophy and getting several pairs of cheapo plastic frames that look alright. If there's one thing i can be criticised for, it's a lack of style, so i'm keeping an open mind for suggestions.

And enh, don't beat yourself up. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a man is give things a shot and say "No, i'm not going to put up with these things about you." They'll either change to be with you, change to be better after you, or prove they weren't worth the further effort.
