Particularly Poignant Purples For Pleasing Purse Purchases

For whatever reason we feel the urge to be alliterative. We think this may come from sheer laziness or perhaps a perceived need for content but the idea of consonance is so appealing. As we learned today the relative formal accessibility of alliteration makes it one of the most commonly used literally tools in English, tracing its origins back to Old English and other Germanic languages.

Alliterative verse in which the poetry relies heavily on consonance and assonance rather than rhyme was used most notably in the epic Beowolf. And while we rather disliked the new animated 3D version with Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother we still like the alliterative poetry of these particularly purple purses They really POP from the page as you might say.

Lauren Conrad for Linea Pelle

We have tried to watch The Hills but every time we turn it on we find ourselves stymied by a language barrier so impenetrable we are reminded of the work of Willard Van Orman Quine on post modern translation and language. We believe they are speaking English and yet we cannot understand their words or references. His work on the indeterminacy of translation (i.e without a common frame of reference translation may in fact be impossible) seems remarkably apt in that with their inscrutable intentions we can only observe their behavior and hope the speakers environments provide us some clue.


But today we found a reference point we can understand. Lauren Conrad is a guest designer for Linea Pelle. We have always appreciated the contemporary handbag line and thought their bags a decent value. Clearly if they are reaching out to promote themselves via Lauren Conrad it must mean we have something in common. We still don't know what it means, but with Linea Pelle as a reference point perhaps some day communication will be possible. Either that or all meaning is now so blurred that the panoptica of reality culture has skewed all our understanding. With fame whoring being the way to decent sales in an overcrowded market space we might have to go with blurred though.
