I’ve been told that I’m a pretty fashionable dresser. It might be because my mom was a seamstress\/tailor and my dad used to dress like the guys on Mad Men<\/I>. Or that I used to work at McInerney, the predecessor to all the high-fashion stores at Ala Moana. I don’t try to do that, it’s just my style.<\/p>\n

The problem with having that kind of reputation means you always have to look presentable. And absolutely your clothes must be clean. That’s where I have a challenge every day that I drive to work. The reason being that one of my other habits is I must have a cup of Starbucks coffee on my way to my office. Nothing fancy, just a nice hot cup of Americano.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t know if I’m the only one who has this problem, but I find that the cups, despite having a lid, will leak. Not always, but only when I’m wearing a white or light-colored shirt. I’ve actually analyzed this – the lip of the cup has a seam, and although the lid is on tight, whenever I wear a white shirt, the sipping hole on the lid is aligned with that seam.<\/p>\n

So, as I tip the cup toward my mouth, the coffee travels up the seam and under the outside lip of the lid. Then, regardless of how careful I am, the coffee drips on the front of my shirt. Why only on days I wear a white shirt I haven’t got a clue. I’m probably being punished by the haute couture gods for drinking coffee while driving.<\/p>\n

My solution to this so far is to ask for a napkin when I buy my coffee. I will then open up the napkin and tuck it into my collar so it acts as a bib. That way, if the coffee drips, no harm to my white shirt. Of course, this ruins my whole reputation as a fashion plate, for if you glance at me while I’m driving, I look like I’m about to eat a plate of spaghetti or a whole Maine lobster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
