Will talk a HUGE game about “doing good and doing well” and “making a difference” but never take meaningful action.

Oh god. I know a few "lifestyle bloggers" IRL; this is extremely accurate

You grew up in the age of Ivory girls and always admired that fresh-faced look (it dried your skin out and caused horrible flaking, which you always assumed was due to the hard water from the well on your family farm). These days you're more into Mary Kay, which seems kind of exclusive because you can only buy it if you *know* someone. You don't dye your hair and like to tell people you're "rockin' the gray" but actually you just can't stomach the thought of plunking down $250 for a stinky toxic hair process that only lasts a few months and doesn't make you look any more fresh and natural than those old bars of Ivory soap did. So you're, you know, *leaning in* to the whole aging thing, staring down the barrel of 50 with the same fierceness with which you used to wrangle ornery milk cows. You don't wear makeup and take pried in that fact that dammit, you look like real woman and not some barbie doll, and anyway you're focused on more important things than looking pretty, like raising a family and chopping wood for the fireplace and making homemade Christmas cookies (you live in a townhouse in Reston and have a gas fireplace, but *inside* you're a badass wood chopping frontier woman and that's what counts).



...and you look at real estate listings in Aldie, Round Hill and Purcellville regularly; you'd move there in a heartbeat and get some chickens if you weren't trapped in Reston for your DH's job.


Ha ha. To the t.

Im a proud SAHM and live in McLean in a McMansion, my kids go to private school (public is for the poors). Im an aspiring influencer with my own Lifestyle Instagram blog with 1000 followers who want to learn how to be perfect like me - the perfectly clean house, “lived in” stark white furniture (which Little Larla and Larlo are never allowed to sit on), hand crafted organic low sugar baked goods (which I throw out after making cause carbs...), and perfectly coiffed children with big smiles and all matching in our Lily Pulitzer pink/green outfits. My husband is a lobbyist for Phillip Morris, you know their website says they are building a smoke free future as the largest tobacco company, so we are basically saints saving the world. I would like to move back to Richmond when the kids are older, it’s just more my pace. I’m a good Christian and remind everyone else to be one too - especially when the ladies from Church and I have white wine Wednesday’s because that’s when we get caught up on the latest gossip. I miss my Kappa Phi sorority sisters from Auburn. What crazy shenanigans we got into in the house. Oh, it’s time to go get the kids from school, “Maria..oh Maria, you hoo..can you get them? Mommy started wine Wednesday a bit early” . Oh, my roots are showing but if I turn my chin like this, you can’t see them..now this would be a perfect shot for Insta. Smiles and takes a selfie..


Nailed it! Philip Morris + church ladies is next level 🤣

Brava, PP! The shade, THE SHADE of it all! Though I'm surprised our heroine isn't making her home in Bethesda or Potomac!

Larla distinctly remembers her first pair of Lucky jeans. Oh, how cool she felt when unzipping them in her HS restroom and noticing the LUCKY YOU written in the fly. She wasn't part of any particular clique in HS, not cute or popular enough to be with the in-crowd, uncomfortable around the wannabe hippies or Goth kids, though she once owned a My Chemical Romance album. She did go through a brief flirtation with the Green Party crowd in college, but never did much more than go to a couple meetings and hand out flyers once. Now that she's a 40-something living in the DC 'burbs, she considers herself Crunchy-Lite. She feels good about her role in protecting the environment (even toting glass to the Quincy Park collection center after Arlington County stopped accepting it in the bins!) and does a yoga class once a month.

You spent three years in Finland as a child, when your father was stationed there while working for State. Your mother, being the hip and modern homemaker that she was, decorated your home in Marimekko prints and Danish teak furniture; the prized seat in the house was the orange-red Saarinen womb chair next to the fireplace. When you were in high school, your parents decided to stay put in DC, where you attended Georgetown Day (which back then was truly an alternative school) and lived in a split-level house in Brookmont. You went onto Yale, where you initially studied theater, but realized that you weren't willing to starve. After you completed your Fulbright, where you studied Kabuki make-up in Japan, you went to law school determined to pursue something in the public interest or work for an NGO, but never ever for BigLaw. Famous last words. Your younger brother found the exact same Saarinen chair of your childhood on eBay selling for $12,000 back, and you realized that your bohemian tastes were, actually, well, expensive. So, BigLaw it was. You and your wife now live in a mid-century house around the corner from your parents, who are now retired and babysit your two children on Friday nights. You decorated your children's bedrooms in Marimekko designs, which you found much to your delight while wandering the Crate and Barrel in Spring Valley.

Does this exist anymore? I remember it was all the rage like 15 years ago and I wore their jeans but then the company went out of business?


I saw a retail store a couple of months ago pre-covid. I live in Fairfax County.
