Ben Affleck kicked off a winter coat drive in NYC by donating the first coat..his daughter Violets outgrown winter wear.
“I did some work in Boston with homeless shelters and I know they’re going to fall short this year, and I know how important it is just to get a coat on your back. And I know how kids can grow out of clothes so quickly, so I brought some down.”
He descibed one of the garments as a technicolor type vest thing and admitted he wasn't much for the fashion. Awww, well it's all good. People need coats and warm weather gear and we should all pitch in with things we don't use anymore and donate them to our local shelters and drives.

Here's an idea..I don't know where you live, but, I live in a mixed financial area. We have well off people and real poor people. You can just tell who's kid needs a coat by watching the morning school walk. Just buy the kid a coat and matching mittens and hat and leave 'em on the doorstep and never tell who left 'em. It makes YOU feel better when you see him or her bundled up the next school day.

Now if someone could make MY grandkid wear the winter stuff I buy her, I'd be happy. Yesterday she came over dressed in a faux lepord trimmed fall jacket and yellow rubber clogs (no hat, no mittens, even though I buy her tons of 'em)..and we have blizzard conditions here. I hid the clogs and put out her boots and she screamed until her face turned purple. I finally said, fine, freeze your ass off then. She looked at me and said "No, you feeze you azzz of." Oh yeah, Diva? Violet Affleck wouldn't be caught dead in those clogs.

what about if you got your granddaughter some funky colored boots?? L.L. Bean has bright colored boots...I have pink rain boots from them and a bright yellow rain coat....you can't miss me while i'm walking Molly! :)
we have snow here, so now i have the black clunky winter boots out, but you could maybe take your Granddaughter to pick out her own boots and then let her decorate them with some sharpies....
They were hot pink Fisher Price boots..very cool. And she already decorated my new Chinese Laundry purse with sharpies. Fuck that. But, thanks for the thoughts.
how about if you tell her when she wears her boots she becomes the super snow conquering goddess?? or something like that or perhaps 'queen of the snowflakes'?...the boots hold power and she must wear them....watch the wizard of oz and say the boots are like dorothy's shoes....
