White versus Black

I realized with a spark of joy yesterday that my favorite babysitter now possesses a driver’s license. And a car. So I called her and at 8:00 p.m., I left my house.

I wanted to see a movie–any movie, really–and so I saw “The Island.”

I hope I don’t spoil it for anyone, but here is the gist of the movie, the take-away kernel of truth:

Black pants truly are more slimming than white pants. In fact, even if you are Scarlett Johanson, your backside will look like a huge pear if you wear white pants coupled with a white body-skimming shirt.

  1. ROFL! I was thinking of going to see it, too. : ) Did you actually LIKE the movie, or were you just so overwhelmed by the freedom that you didn’t notice?

    hehe

  2. Thanks for the tip! Yet I haven’t owned white pants for years. Must have subconsciously known better.

    Wait til it’s your teen that’s driving… will joy still spark? 🙂

  3. I’m going to think twice before I wear my white capris again.

    I hope your babysitter is a better driver than I was as a teen. I don’t remember how many accidents I was in, but I managed to total the Fairmont twice. Why I’m still here and so many other teens never grew up is one of God’s mysteries.

  7. But DAMN Ewan McGregor looked hot in the white suits!

    I saw the movie last night, I really liked it, but I knew I would before I saw it. I love movies about ethical issues, such as cloning. And I have a cruch on Ewan McGregor 🙂
