iPad made me realize that I am versatile!

Picture this: Last weekend, Normandy, 40th birthday garden party of one of our dearest lesbian friend, kinda (aka totally) hangover from the night before, we started talking about iPad. And bing! Just like that, my friend Idris aka the eye de-puffer dealer (see previous blog), popped out "The Object of Desire": The iPad.

I have a confession to make. I don’t understand this all iPad thing. It’s like a huge iPhone or a mini macBook. I’ve got both and I don’t really see why I would need one. It's in that state of mind that’s I started considering the eventuality of me getting one of it! And wondering if I was just crazy or just stupid.
And then I got it:

- "Oh My Gog… I became iPad versatile!"
Deep inside of me, I know that I don’t like the object, that I don’t need it, that I won’t use it so much (unlike my dear dear friend Donat). But I started to feel the urge of getting one. The fatality of buying one. But will I love it?

I got to think about so many stories of me being versatile, mostly fashion stories to be honest!

Some of my oldes friends may remember me screaming in the early 90's:

- “Birkenstocks? Never! They are ugly German lesbian shoes (I am wondering why I am talking so much about dykes today?)”

Today, I am the proud owner of 5 pairs of them and I am ready for a 2010 summer über Birkenstocky (Japan fashionistas already live in Birkenstocks. And I love them!

And what about soccer sandals? I almost ran away from a Balenciaga show when seeing Lucien Pellat-Finet wearing a pair of Nike Soccer Sandals to get a pair myself immediately! I got them & wore them without feeling the total redneck I would have describe as the usual wearer. And I love them!

Maybe this is pure marketing, pure Parisian snobbism… But in the end, you changed your mind 100%. For a control queen like me that’s huge! Or maybe this just means that we can change. Change our minds, our ideas on fashion, lovers, food, shoes, underwear (yeah… I got so many stories about my abusive relationship with underwear), friends…
