From Ceasefires to Designer Shoes: Putin's Pause and My Own Fashion Week Dilemma

A Ceasefire? Or Just Another Bad Date?

So Putin declared a ceasefire. Three whole days! It reminded me of that time Berger said he’d call… and didn't. Was this a genuine attempt at peace or just a ploy for a fancy parade? As I learned the hard way sometimes what seems like a grand gesture is just a guy trying to avoid commitment. 'I couldn't,' Berger had scrawled on a post it. Couldn't what? Commit? Tell me the truth? Use proper grammar?

The Devil Wears Prada…and Putin Wears…Ambiguity?

Trump wants a permanent ceasefire. Good for him. I want a Birkin bag without having to sell my apartment. But back to reality as much as I hate to admit that just like when Samantha jones had cancer and didn't want any pitty Ukraine isn’t buying what Putin is selling. Their Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha was all “Why wait until May 8th?” He’s got a point. It’s like waiting three days to tell someone you love them. The suspense can kill a girl!

Crimea River? More Like a Fashion Faux Pas

Trump suggested Zelenskyy might be ready to give up Crimea. Oh honey no. Giving up is never chic. Especially when it involves violating your constitution. It’s like wearing Crocs to a gala. Just…no. And speaking of fashion crimes what IS Putin wearing to this Victory Day parade? I hope it’s not another ill fitting suit. A power suit should empower not overpower.

Talks Without Preconditions? Sounds Like a Tinder Profile

The Kremlin wants “peace talks without preconditions.” Which let’s be honest is the dating world equivalent of “I just want something casual.” Translation: expect a lot of empty promises and questionable intentions. Remember that time I went on a date with a guy who said he “wasn’t looking for anything serious,” and then tried to move in after three weeks? Yeah preconditions are important.

Blame Game: The New Black?

Everyone's blaming everyone else! Russia accuses Ukraine of being unwilling to make concessions while Ukraine accuses Russia of playing for time. It’s like when Miranda blamed me for not understanding her career and I blamed her for not understanding my obsession with Manolos. Sometimes darling you just have to agree to disagree…and maybe invest in some really good noise canceling headphones.

So What's a Girl to Wear to a Potential Peace Parade?

The million dollar question: if this ceasefire holds and there’s some sort of international peace parade what do I wear? Something understated but elegant? A bold statement piece to show my support for…something? Maybe I should just wear my tutu. It always works. After all as I always say “I like my money where I can see it: hanging in my closet.” And maybe just maybe this ceasefire will lead to a world where everyone can afford a little bit of fabulousness.
