Cooler Heads Prevail

Who decides what’s cool?
Certain kids in certain places–
and only the coolhunters know who they are.
from the new yorker

Rainring Tarot is looking for cool. They’ve figured out part of the secret; look at what everyone else is NOT doing, and Just Do It!

I’ve always been cool, and I’ve always had an eye for cool.

Even way back in elementary school; all the other kids were wearing parka’s and boots, while I was shivering on the corner in a jean jacket and runners waiting for the bus to pick us up. Older kids crowd around me, one- plays with my hair- its not exactly curly he pronounces, its more kinky.

After being completely picked over and gawked at by the high school kids, there’s a pronouncement; she’s cool!

Phew, passed the new kid inspection without flinching – I won’t be bullied this year.

I know Cool, Cool is more than an adjective, its survival.

Rainring meet Raincoaster (The coolest of the cool.)
Congratulations to RC on your really truly Fab new job at Manolo Shoe Blog.

UPDATE: Well I was inspired to start a little Cool Hunt of my own.

    Awww, thanks! I appreciate it. And especially appreciate “the coolest of the cool”. That’s going on my resume!
