Tuesday Threesome: Thighs, idiocy and measuring tape

Here's hoping you learn a lesson from today's threesome -- or at least are provided a few seconds' mindless reprieve from whatever else you're supposed to be doing. Ready, set, ramble ...

1. OK, so I went with Shady to the Feist concert last night at Cain's -- loved it (and thank you, Melissa, for your typically stellar service). I wore boots, which add an extra inch or so to my 6-foot-1 frame. While I enjoyed the music, I couldn't help but fret over the fact that I kept blocking people's lines of vision the entire time -- or at least 'til I developed some kind of widespread, five-shoulder-lengths apart stance, which whittled me down to 5-foot-8. Today, my thighs are killing me. Solution: Stand at the back or become more apathetic.

2. The tax man cometh for thine truly. Although I was supposed to leave the concert and go to my new friend's house (nickname alert: Erudite -- pronounced like Aphrodite) and use the computer to file, I was distracted by Chinese food and, of course, forgot until late this morning, when I stood up at my computer and gasped across the newsroom. As I type this, I've STILL not done my taxes. Moral of this story: I'm an idiot. Do your taxes at least a week or two in advance, if for no other reason than lowering your blood pressure.

3. Try pants on before buying them. As I'm not quite at my goal weight, I bought some inexpensive chinos at Target (love 'em, very comfortable, $24.99), I assumed the 32 inseam would be OK. However, as I've been told by tailors and whoever in the past has wielded a measuring tape in my proximity, I'm a 33 inseam; so the 32s are a smidgen on the high-water side. Lesson: If you don't want to try on pants, at least make sure that there's enough fabric to be let down at the cuff. Otherwise, you've got some underachieving capris on your hands -- or legs, in this case.

Peace, love and taxed inseams ... xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
