Outfit Of The Week (A Rather Pathetic Attempt To Blog From The iPad)

I am sorry if I disappeared again but I haven't solved my camera issue yet. I even bought an iPad camera connection kit to connect my camera to the iPad instead of using the corrupted camera cable (because those geniuses at Apple conceived a device that can maybe read your thoughts, or at least recognize which song you are humming while taking your shower, but that doesn't have a USB port if you can believe it. That's the equivalent of having a Ferrari without a key for the tank. You are not going far, even if you have the best engine).

So out of desperation and while I wait for a cheap substitute for my camera cable that I found on Amazon, I resorted to the last resort: taking pictures of my outfit using my iPad as a camera. If you are a blogger and you ever felt silly taking pictures of yourself in front of the mirror, let me tell you this: that is nothing compared to the silliness of taking pictures of yourself in front of the mirror with an iPad. The whole thing is just unbelievably cumbersome and totally ridiculous (even once you have actually figured out that the camera is not ON THE BACK).

Anyway, this is going to be the first and last attempt to blog entirely from my iPad. The funny thing is, this outfit that I absolutely wanted to immortalize isn't even new, it is actually made of very old pieces that I love to wear almost exclusively during the holidays, like my candy tee in champagne (still going strong and holes-free) and my cashmere cardigan in bright papaya from 2008 as well. The only thing new and that you can actually buy on the website is the golden stripe bracelet in bright flame (on sale in store for $19.99 or less). Not sure why it is called golden stripe, since it has nothing golden but whatever, the important thing is that it almost matches the color of the papaya cardigan, except for an imperceptible difference that you can figure out only if you are Goethe or work at the JCrew department of color naming and coding (would love to get that job or at least to meet the colorblind, or falsely francophone, employee responsible of CER or cerise, a fruit also known as "cherry", that doesn't conjure up any thought of orange in my mind).

Anyway, are you ready for the outfit with iPad? Ta-da:

Wait a minute, what is this pop-up message now (at Apple they love pop-ups). We are sorry but Compose mode is not supported in your current browser (for the non-bloggers: Compose mode is where you add the pictures)? You will need a more recent version of Firefox, IE or Safari?

Let me tell you something, Blogger: I just bought this iPad and besides the fact that I just can't get used to the fact that my Browser has a name like Safari that makes me feel like I am shooting endangered species each time that I click on that freaking icon, this gotta be the latest version. Because that's the deal, right? I buy the latest version of the USB-deprived device and I assume that they charged the latest available software version on it and not an outdated one that doesn't support Compose mode.

And let me tell you something else, Blogger. There is no way that I am going to try to find another version of the animal-shooting software to post pictures of myself holding the device like a gun pointed to myself. No way, this was supposed to be easy and I can accept ridiculous if it comes with the reward of easy-peasyness. But this is way too complicated. Sorry dear readers but no outfit of the week will come out of this.

You know what? That cheap cable that I bought on Amazon? It'd better work.
