Mindy Kaling Says Little Women Need To Wear Big Jewelry...Makes Perfect Sense

I've always thought petite women needed to wear larger jewelry.  Even if it's only one piece like a bracelet or a statement necklace.  Alas, many smaller girls insist on wearing "why bother" gems that get lost on their bod's.

Mindy Kaling, from The Office and The Mindy Project, says..."I have an overtly 'new money' aesthetic -- I am the child of immigrants after all!" admits Massachusetts native Kaling. "I like jewelry that's big. I like conspicuous jewelry!" "For the most part, I like for my jewelry to make me feel dainty -- not the other way around."  That makes perfect sense to me.  Obviously, her Dartmouth degree is in Defensible Image Shopping and Acquisition of Overly Expensive Goods.

As the actress explains, her collection of baubles is so impressive that it often attracts extra attention. "At the airport, it takes me 30 minutes to get through security with all of my jewelry," jokes the star, 33. One of Kaling's favorite pieces in her collection is a vintage rose gold 1968 Rolex oyster watch.

Bad Guys From Home Alone Rob KFC Instead of Jewelry Store

Two men in Australia with the same skill set as the bad guys from Home Alone attempted to rob a jewelry store for the third time on New Year's Eve.  However, rather than break into the store stocked with jewelry and gems, they landed in the restroom of the KFC next door, much to the surprise of the employees who were on duty at the time.  Undaunted by the prospect of winding up with wings and thighs instead of diamonds and pearls, they immediately robbed the KFC staff, making off with $2600.  The two robbers, Dwayne (always a Dwayne) Doolan and Peter Welsh, were later apprehended by police.

Determined to get into this store, the first time they threw spark plugs at the window hoping to shatter it and enter that way.  When that didn't work, they decided to break in through the back door but wound up in a nearby animal shelter store making off with $50 from a donation box (nice).  Their last attempt brought them into the bathroom of the KFC.

Could they have been going after these...

Spy vs Spy Shoes

While combing the internet looking for a pair of Ferragamo boots I came across these innovative shoes.  Designed by Leanie van der Vyver and Dutch shoe designer René van den Berg, they remind me somehow of the old Mad Magazine cartoon, Spy vs. Spy.  Now my Ferragamo boot idea just seems lame.

What is it with the Dutch people?  Is it because they smoke a lot of pot, is it the wooden shoes, the cold weather?  What makes them design torture devices like these shoes?  Check out the video below of the model trying to walk in these (how does she keep a straight face).  I look the same way when dragging myself to the wine refrigerator at the end of a long day.
