the advice returns
Dear FYOGS:
I want to make a difference with my research, and to me, that means doing on-depth field work. I believe that in order to write about a group of people I have to put in the work. Many people tell me it is a waste of time because it will just prolong me finishing my dissertation, and to do fieldwork later off of a grant. But I think it is crucial to my study. What do you think?
From,
Fieldwork Fran
Dear FF:
What is going on with this fad of shirts having these two extra flaps of material hanging in the front? It has no functional purpose. It hangs right over your navel like some sort of knotted umbilical chord. Just two limp strips hanging over your crotch like decorative labia. It’s so stupid because as I am going through the racks at TJ Maxx I get excited about the pattern on a shirt and then soon discover that its got those awful tie flaps. Who decided that THIS was what people wanted? I don’t understand trends. I want this to stop. Even cropped gaucho pants were better than this.
Yours truly,
FYOGS
