Such as:

“Someone told me Balenciaga used doilies for design inspiration.”

“l read somewhere Hemingway wore his shawls like this, too. You know: for when he was fighting the bulls and shit. Olé.”

“No, I do not think this shade of lipstick makes me look like The Joker.”

“The cartilage piercing is real because I knew it wouldn’t hurt.” 

“If you want to look classy, muscle tanks are a go-to. So is making this face.”

“What do you mean ‘[I] need to brush my hair’”?

“Belt loops aren’t a thing anymore.”

“Yellow is my color.”

“My feet are naturally blistered this way.”
