An Ugli Fruit and an Ugly Mug

My boyfriend has been visiting his family in California all week, and I was thinking this morning about how much I missed him. But then I found this photo:

Ugli Fruit

It may be pronounced OO-glee, but this grapefruit/orange/tangerine hybrid from Jamaica is about as pretty as Kamran’s face right there. We didn’t buy the fruit that night in Whole Foods, and honestly, I’m surprised I didn’t leave him there with it.

(xoxo, Kam.)

    That IS kind of a gross face he’s making there, but dude, what about those glasses?! I need to know more about the glasses! Do they have shiny bits on the earpieces, or is that just a reflection?

    Sorry. I’m a little obsessed with glasses.

      Sorry, I forgot about this comment. I didn’t notice the shiny bits on Kamran’s specs, but they’re just reflections. (They’re the same pair I’m wearing here.) We looked all over at different designer frames that matched the old Ray-Ban ones he loved and couldn’t find any that looked as good, but then we walked into some old-timey shop one day and found those for totally cheap. I still want them for myself.

      Do you wear glasses yourself, or do you just like other people’s?

    New York Times Crossword Puzzle writers are quite fond of ugli as an answer to clues about unattractive fruit. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen what one looks like.
