I Want a Golden Ticket



If you asked me what I thought about playing the lottery three years ago, I would most likely scoff, sneer or make an uncomfortable non-descript sound. But a lot can happen in three years, heck, a lot can happen in 3 hours. So when joking with a friend recently about finding means to support a catostrophic shopping habit, the idea of a little paper ticket with some numbers and that slick silver coating came to mind. The next thought was that fateful ticket Hurley purchased on LOST, which made me a bit nervous, but I quickly veered my imagination into a much happier place. Now, I'm a strong believer in making one's own luck, working hard and not taking no for an answer. However, what if your fairy god mother just so happens to take the form of a ticket? A lovely ticket, that can mean that Jil Sander dress you've been salivating over for the last 2 months could be comfortably in your (renovated) closet? So is it worth spending that little cash in hopes of a much higher pay off? I still have yet to purchase one, however, the thought of the wardrobe I could obtain may be more that I can bear. Here are 5 other things I would do if I won the lottery:

1. Find the SoHo loft in 'Igby Goes Down' and make it my permanent residence

2. Balenciaga florals.

3. Three month Europe excursion beginning immediately with as many people as I can fit into a plane

4. Vintage Halston

5. Buy an animal shelter (and adopt at least two Golden Retriever puppies)

6. I know I said five but... The Rodarte boots

7. I know I know... Last one... Buy a Rauschenberg.
