What it is to be cool

[€uroMeinke]

Personally, I enjoy the envy, resentment, and perceived elitism of coolness, or as I prefer to coin it, swank.

I'm the mom of a Tweener. I'm the epitome of uncoolness, at least for the next decade. Except when she needs money, of course.

I've been called an "Embarassment to Nature". My favorite one was "Mom, me and my friends know style. And you .... don't"

Ouch. I think that is something you need to remind her of down the road.

Snowflake, no removing of mojo! Obviously interesting as it has responses, no?

Egads, cool. What is cool. Someone I think is cool is someone who doesn't judge others on their coolness and interests, etc. That's cool.

Oh, or, that's hot? {insert TM}

Swank is Jean Harlow in a bias-cut Madame Vionnet gown, trailing a velvet evening wrap behind her as she slinks towards you. Swank is light years beyond cool. That is the genius of swank and the LoT.
