Zooey Deschanel's affordable style. Affordable is good. It's like they say in the article, you’ll never know when you’ll be needing a milkmaid costume. I need one on most days, but that's just me. As much as I love these old timey clothes, I really don't think I could pull it off, even if I could afford it. But it's all good.Zooey Deschanel's affordable style. Affordable is good.

A "Milchmaedchenrechnung," or milk maid's account, doesn't add up -- it's not enough to pay the bill. As so often in German, the term goes back to a bygone century. One possible source is an 18th century fable entitled, appropriately, "The Milk Maid." Here, a farmer's wife goes to market to sell her milk and, along the way, she starts thinking about how she'll spend the money she expects to earn -- until she gets distracted by her own imagination and spills the milk. So much for the expensive dreams…A "Milchmaedchenrechnung," or milk maid's account, doesn't add up -- it's not enough... more
Polydactyly is a congenital anomaly with a wide range of manifestations that occurs in many forms, ranging from varying degrees of mere splitting to completely duplicated thumb. When duplication occurs alone, it is usually unilateral and sporadic.Case presentationIn this case report we describe an otherwise healthy 19-year-old woman of Tibetan heritage with isolated left hand preaxial polydactyly.
She experienced working related difficulties in her daily yak's milking. She subsequently underwent surgical correction, and the over number thumb was removed with associated meticulous skeletal and soft tissue reconstruction.
Conclusion: Polydactyly is the most common congenital digital anomaly of the hand and foot.
It can occur in isolation or as part of a syndrome. Surgery is necessary to create a single, functioning thumb and is indicated to improve cosmesis.
Skin, nail, bone, ligament, and musculoskeletal elements must be combined to reconstruct an optimal digit. In this case (Tibetan society is almost exclusively a sheep-breeding one) surgery was necessary to leave a single, functioning thumb for her work as yak milkmaid.

I can keep some things quiet”. Singer and actress Jessica Simpson wore a milkmaid costume at a recent concert and... more
