If I had, like, nothing but cabbage I would SO own these Balenciaga honeys, in all their dayglo splendor (with a backup pair in plain ol' black for business meetings ...)
Never have I seen a more perfect shoe.

If I had 280 million dollars ...

All right, so the Powerball is up to $280 million. The odds of getting killed by a goat are better than the odds of winning it.
Will that stop me from buying a ticket or two? Of course not! For the record, if I win $280 million, here's what I'll do with it:
1) I will build family centers where low-income mothers can find low-cost, high quality day care with caring workers and on-site head start, as well access job training programs, support counselling, parenting training, birth control information, etc. I will buy quality used cars (with insurance) for low-income working mothers and offer free maintenance and repair. Most importantly, I will buy thousands of massage vouchers, because every low-income working mother should have at least one hour of massage a month (maybe I could train the working mothers to be masseuses? A whole new set of possibilities opens up ...)
2) I will build homeless havens, safe, central places where homeless people can come for a shower, wash their clothes, use a telephone (both for making calls and getting messages), get a meal, access social services, find medical care, get away from the heat or the rain or snow, and even go to the bathroom (why do you think homeless people piss in the streets? Because they're animals? NO, because fucking businesses won't let them use bathrooms, then complain about the smell.)
3) I will go through the national register of historic properties, find cool old buildings that are in danger of being lost, and pay to renovate them. I will then donate them to community organizations to be used as stylish support centers (see ideas #1 & #2)
4) I will buy 500 acres of beautiful, peaceful mountain wilderness and create an artist's community. I will build little cabins all over the property, and one big huge community lodge, then invite artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers, etc. to come stay for refreshing retreats. Meals will be available at the lodge, and everyone staying at the retreat will be obligated to come for a big dinner once a month to share ideas and talk about/show/read from their works-in-progress. Additionally, all artists will be required to donate 10% of the profits from the sale of work created at the retreat to the charity of their choice.
5) I will wear nothing but flowing black silk, get massages, facials and manicures every day, drive a hot-shit black Mercedes, and require that everyone call me Madame FOR REAL. (What, you didn't think I was ALL goody-goody, did you?)
