El Platform is Desolate. Just like in old country

so I went RIGHT to bluefly.com and bought the biggest blue purse they had, and ....

Big Week for Celebrity Sightings

Tori Spelling waiting on the Red Line.
Guess she's kickin it in the 6-0-6-1-4 these days.

Please God tell me this woman packed something other than muu muus and dashikis

B!tch stole my look!

Olympia Dukakis spotted on the Bus

She was on her way to meet M'Lynn and Annelle at Truvy's Beauty Spot.

What? I can't hear you?? What?

What's that? Beige is not my color??
OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Reader Submission!!!!

This in from "S.S." -- while it doesn't entirely fall under the whole "saw you on the CTA" theme we have going here, this person is crazy enough to merit an honorable mention...
Here's some of what SS had to say about our subject:
"besides the outfit that you can see, she is wearing a pair of lime green Crocs clogs that have those stupid ornaments on the front- all kittens. . . . Further she gets 1 bag of Tidy Cat and 2 packs of Kool 100s. If i'm not careful, I might turn into her..."
Well, SS, a girl can dream, can't she?

Really? Wellies? Really?

Well, if you say so.

God D@MN I LOVE MY READERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from "E.A." I recieved this lovely picture of the "Purple Line Purple People Eater"
All that's missing is the one eye and one horn. She seems to have mastered the old Nina Garcia tip of "socks with sandals"!
LOVES IT -- THANKS E.A.!!!!

Lizzie Grubman Spotted on the EL!!!

I guess she can't mow down Hamptons Partygoers if she's riding the red line!

Touched by an Angel

This kid looks like the light of GOD is shining upon him. And his skateboard. At least I *think* this is a 'he' -- it's always fun to play "guess my gender" whilst on the EL.

Artsy Fartsy silhouette

Silhouette. Talk about a word that pretty much makes my stomach hurt. It's like the word "thrice" or when people pronounce the word measure as MAY-zhure and pleasure as PLAY-zhure. Know what other phrase I hate? Dutch Treat. I think it makes me think of a.) a Dutch oven, and then b.) the fact that paying for your own meal is hardly a treat.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYwho... I digress.
Here's your silhouette of the day...

Don't come near me, sir!!!

I have a gun under this fabulous white denim jacket! And I"m not afraid to use it.

REALLY pushing the limits of stretchpants.

I NEED A CIGGY! AND A MOUNTAIN DEW BIG GULP!

WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO???

OK, so this guy had on headphones.. and was not sitting next to anyone he knew, as far as I could tell.. yet he was just gabbin' away... talk talk talk.. chat chat chat... Maybe he was listening to Rosetta Stone: Portuguese? More likely it was "MuggleCast"

So I have no idea what book she's reading, BUT...

$10 says it's "EAT PRAY LOVE"

I better just put this copy of EAT PRAY LOVE back in my bag here...

yes, friends, dear readers, haters, whores and other blog readers.... we have yet another Chicagoan who is in love with my favorite beach read and yours..

EAT PRAY LOVE!!!!!!!

Woman has been riding the Red line since 1792!

Summer Breeze Makes me Feel Fine

Or is it.. "Summer's Eve?"

You know you wanna touch it...

I always want to push this button and talk to the engineer of the train. Sometimes I want to know what the f*ck he is doing to make this train go so slow... sometimes I want him to tell all of these riders to move their ass to the middle of the train so other people can come in....other times I kinda just want to order a milkshake.

Anyway, did you ever touch it? :)

READER SUBMISSION!

Thank you thank you thank you to reader "G" who sent this to me today.
You probably can't read the button on her hat, but it reads:

"where would Jesus keep his gun?"

My guess is he'd probably take it on the 151 just like this lady did...
THANKS, G!!!
