I have no idea what to expect of tonight’s Shiek’s Singers Reunion. Somewhere along the way this event entered my consciousness, probably because of some press release that slid across my desk, with great velocity, and into the waste-paper basket, ultimately ending up right there with the rest of ’em.
In any case, just this morning, I painted a vivid mental picture of all the elderly Judy Garland-types who constitute Shiek’s Singers, all writhing on the piano in their feathered bathrobes. But I guess I’ll never know what the real Shiek’s Singers look like, or what they’ll wear, because I have running cult tonight. I’ll have to miss it. Drat.
Postscript. A Parenthetic thought related to running and clothing: a press release came across my desk yesterday that I remember quite well. It seems that Paiva, a store that sells designer workout wear for women, is coming to the Mall of America. I just checked out the Paiva website, and it isn’t that impressive. The stock of Brooks sports bras looks no better than that at my local running store, and that hasn’t been good. But Paiva’s press release promised that the store would stock Stella McCartney for Adidas, and that stuff’s all eyeleted and gathered, with “artistic cutouts,” metal doodads, good-looking dragstrings, and shit. I’m totally there, man (at the grand opening later this month)! I’ll report back!!
