Last weekend's low-rider show in the West Bottoms was all booming bass, high-hopping grills, hittin'-switches and squealing tires. In the middle of it all was Jessica, looking like an oasis of vintage fashion.
"I like to mix a lot of prints," she says of her personal aesthetic. "I like 40s and 50s dresses, and I wear a lot of aprons. Kind of housewife-y? But also with a pin-up, sailor thing mixed in."
I told Jessica that I loved her angular glasses, and before I could say another word, she whipped out her cell phone to show me a picture of the Pair That Got Away. They had turquoise frames with bronze and burnt-orange metal horn rims, and they cost only $12 before she had her prescription put into them. But then she lost them at a bar.
Bars have a knack for swallowing up the most precious, one-of-a-kind items -- like a blue velvet coat I still mourn even though it disappeared more than two years ago. Maybe the person who is wearing my coat has on Jessica's glasses? She'd be one stylish bitch.

Sandals are a great all rounder as a summer ladies shoe. If you buy a pair of stylish sandals they'll last for seasons, especially a pair of Birkenstocks or such. If you want your sandals to be a fashion statement you've always got an excellent choice.
Yeah, I mean who really looks at wrists and adam�s apples anyway? wumble and gus know �what�s up� and they want to get with it! Ain�t nothing wrong with that.
Wow. She is darling!
Trevor and Jason are assholes who wouldn't know hot if it singed 'em. Plus, Trevor is quoting Austin Powers.
In situations where somebody says something incredibly lame, I usually think "At least they're not quoting Austin Powers." In this case, all I can think is, "At least he's not quoting the Love Guru."
To be fair: the event was actually called the Union Press Wild West Lowrider Showdown.
And if Jessica looks anything other than 100 percent adorable (and FEMALE), it's because my photo doesn't do her justice.
Yes!
Zen seemed to have swallowed up my brown and purple Emporio Armani rectangular specs this past Sunday night.
If you have "acquired" this pair of fine glasses and your astigmatia are as acute as mine, then you have truly scored.
Or if you are just holding onto them or have any information regarding their whereabouts, please contact me at 816-218-6775.
Reward money is waiting.
