A maxi dress tie-die for!

September 9, 2009 — Laura

I’d dying to see what’s next from the writer of “The Thread” on Yahoo! Shine, because I just love her sense of humor:

Ha-ha. I’m a kidder. I don’t think this blunder was meant to be funny. Maybe the writer is just a dyed-in-the-wool rebel who loves to flout her contempt for traditional spelling.
