a peek into chic: The "Lifestyle": Are You In It?

I ~~read an article~~ was watching Kathy Lee & Hoda and they were discussing the many ways to indicate to your neighbors/ creepers/ public audience that you are, in fact, of "the lifestyle" variety. You may be wondering what "the lifestyle" entails.

Swinging, my friends. And not the playground kind.

Apparently having a lifestyle, or living any kind of life that may incorporate the word style afterwards opens you up to plethora exciting opportunities - all of which include more than one other person in the bedroom. Some of the things they were saying made total sense, like having white rocks around your mailbox. Others I just shook my head at, like an ankle bracelet. Unless you are Lindsay Lohan (is that still a relevant reference? I'm so old.) or escaping from someplace, lifestyle bandwagon or not, that ain't a good idea kiddies.

Which brings me to my point. Apparently that ~~article~~ late-morning-weekday-PJ-fest so ingrained this idea in my head that I found myself snickering at these poor saps in my neighborhood who likely just wanted to celebrate UGA with a silly couple of plastic flamingos. Suckerssss that is totally one of the signs!

But maybe they knew that... maybe they are living it up in a freedom kinda lifestyle!

Maybe they're gypsies too! Like The Riches!

I'm the only one I know who watched half this season... I thought it was good!

Oh the crazy things I thought about after that on my little dog walk. I mean, who really knows their neighbors?? What if I'm the only bland, blase, lifestyle-less person on my block? Here I am, minding my own business with my fancy terrier and there is a whole street of crazy happening all around me!

Regardless, take a look at these and then check out your ankle and your mailbox - apparently the next time the UPS man rings your bell he may be ... so many package jokes that I can't bring myself to write. Sorry Grandma.

1. Put a pineapple upside down in your shopping cart

2. Wear an anklet on your right ankle, or a thumb ring or a toe ring

3. Switch your wedding ring to the right hand

4. Put white stones in your landscaping in your front lawn

5. Get a yin-yang tattoo

Turns out I may have made up the flamingo sign. Either that or I've been paying way too much attention to my neighbors lawns, hoping for a swinger I can judge.
