Eventually came the classic hallmarks of a long-term love affair: I'd feel a little pang when I'd catch a glimpse of a care tag from the '25s, or a dated designer label font, as lovers do about misshaped earlobes, a familiar navel, or crooked little finger.

To get you prepped for the navel-grazing season ahead, we've rounded up 20 crop tops in a variety of flattering, bold, and playful fits — so many, that even the girl who said she'd never wear a midriff-baring top is ready to get on board.

And because he cannot use a fumigant to kill off the navel orangeworm, a pest that works its way into almonds after they are harvested, he ships the nuts to a freezing facility that normally flash-freezes freshly harvested broccoli, cauliflower and bell peppers to prevent spoilage.

Others grapple with H.I.V. or its destructive legacy: a New York deputy health commissioner suffering from manic episodes; her gay heartthrob of an intern, who grows disgusted with the ossified bureaucracy as the disease wreaks its toll; and the artists' navel-gazing writer friend, Drew, in California.

Our navel-gazing politics also feed into something more subtle and psychic that was crucial to Trump's rise: A narcissistic national assumption that America is the most important country in the world, and that American people are inherently more deserving of resources and attention than others.

Roughly half of the navel orange and mandarin crop is already harvested in the Central Valley but the warm temperatures in January and early February caused citrus trees to bloom a few weeks before they typically do, so the early growth is now vulnerable to frost damage.

Though its current perception is marred by the glare of tacky, sparkly gems dangling in teenaged innies, the navel piercing first found its niche in the 1970s among an underground, primarily gay, fetish community just beginning to experiment with different, piercable parts of the body's flesh.

Whether I Love Dick ends up being at least partially therapeutic for Kraus doesn't really matter, ultimately; the result is much more than vanity or navel–gazing, and proof that the narcissistic impulse need not be scary, as long as you put it to good use.

Some see fine arts grad programs as an aspiring artist's surest ticket into an elite club of sorts, as well as a crucial time to hone one's craft; others see them as factory-like places for artists to navel-gaze as they prepare for lifetimes of debt.

To grab drinks with her beau, the cosmetics purveyor changed out of her frilly formalwear and into a sleek white tuxedo shirt-inspired Halston Heritage dress with an open mandarin collar, plunging neckline almost to her navel and a thigh high slit that comes up to meet it.

Crudo helped fill seats at Himitsu (now Pom Pom) and continues to do so at Emilie's, where one of the most dazzling options features slices of raw kampachi topped with red-fleshed navel orange, a tiny strip of fennel and feathery tangerine lace, as fetching as its name implies.

My family and I lived in Rome for four years, and when we moved back to New York in 2008, it was not easy to find guanciale, or cured pig cheek, carbonara's essential ingredient, even though we're in Brooklyn, rightly mocked and loved as the navel of foodie obtuseness.

The bandeau-style bracelet is made with the same jungle print as Jennifer Lopez's memorable open-to-the-navel Versace gown at the 2000 Grammy Awards — and the even-more-revealing spring 2020 style that the actress wore in September at the brand's ready-to-wear show in Milan.

He's back in the sort of humiliating position that has been a driver for him: The rejection of Catelyn Stark, the humiliation by [Ned Stark's older brother] Brandon Stark — back when he cut him from navel to collarbone and didn't kill him [after their duel over Catelyn in their youth].

By the way, I think the more interesting thing is, as you stare at your navel and be worried about it, the good news, Kara, when you really fuck up is that everyone's so self-absorbed they go back to thinking about themselves, so you just shouldn't worry about it.

But there were some new elements and faces to see, too, like the micro-midriff, the brand's more demure version of baring navel, French navy hats replete with signature red pom-poms, distressed denim, and, oh, Adut Akech, the latest South Sudan newcomer who opened the show and its finale.

Such an attitude is atmospheric in "Linda Vista," and it manifests in an assortment of casual cultural references: to a true crime television show (about a sex slave in a basement); comic book superhero movies; humiliation porn; and that monumental work of navel gazing, "My Struggle" by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

In the artiste's (navel-gazing) eyes, according to numerous Tweets, this went from being the definitive "album of the life" to "ONE of the greatest albums," but TLOP is worth taking a few steps further—it's merely a good album, far from being worth the supposed legacy that its creator preaches.

Having such certainty in the boundless fascination of your own inner depths is a quality that can lead to navel-gazing or self-indulgence, but that's not at all the case in The Tale, where Jennifer's insistence on self-exploration and on her place at the heart of the film is essential.

His work has been pigeonholed in various ways — humor, travel, memoir, essay — but in general it tends to favor legs over navel and to present the reader with a consistent persona: an observant, decent, ecstatically modest guy from Hudson, Ohio, who hears the call of the wild from both nature and the city.

And, well, if Trump is seeing lots of bad news about himself (when he searches for news about himself) let's just say we're sure that Freud would have had a field day unpicking the knotted implications of Trump having such navel-gazing obsession with news sources he continually professes to hate and claims are "fake".

The blame lies not just with the privilege framework in the abstract, but also with a media landscape that—for reasons that have as much to do with what readers want as with production costs—favors the churning out of "privilege" content (celebrity gaffes, navel-gazing from the ordinary-but-privileged) over, say, war reporting.

If you've heard a Chainsmokers song—which is to say, if you've listened to the radio at least once in the last 12 months—you know what to expect here: twelve songs that pair faux-navel-gazing lyrics with music that capably walks the line between festival-ready EDM and beige-hued pop-rock.

There has been much hand-wringing and navel gazing since the election about how liberalism was blind to a rising and hidden populism, about how identity politics were liberals' fatal flaw, about how Democrats needed to attract voters who were willing to ignore Trump's racial, ethnic and religious bigotry, his misogyny, and his xenophobia.

J. Colby Smith, a New York-based piercer and jewelry designer who has worked with clients like Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana, and Into the Gloss founder Emily Weiss, says he "resurrects" old navel piercings "quite often," using delicate, subtle, and frequently gold jewelry to update old or filled holes on clients aged 25 to 45.

While Siri is focused on the world of information and intelligence it can glean from outside sources, with a an increasing amount of internal control, Bixby is a navel-gazer, focused primarily on understanding everything you can do via touch on a Samsung Galaxy S8 (and S8+) and transforming it into something you can do via speech.

One Spin profile chided reviews "that have taken her fondness for cosmetics and navel-displaying stage wear as compelling evidence to impeach her as the sort of pliant, submissive fuck toy of which we should have long been rid," underlining that it was just who Stefani was: "Maybe I should be more of a tough chick," she said.

THE last thing that America needs is more economic turmoil and political navel-gazing in Europe, a continent which—for all that it disappoints and maddens officials in Washington—remains a major trading partner and indispensable ally when the "free West" needs to act as one, for instance by sanctioning Russia over its actions in Ukraine.

Hosoe's 20-minute film featuring Hijikata, Navel and A-Bomb (1960), conflates the unspeakable horror of the atomic bomb with religious allegories through simple acts and gestures: a bird's-eye view of young boys crawling through sand like insects; fingers pressing into navels ("the key to life, the link to the mother's womb," Hosoe explained in an online interview).

It's a provocative idea, but one that checks out when you think of the city as a continuous and contentious metropolis, one that has been at the center of pilgrimage, power, and intrigue for centuries — in medieval Christian tradition, Jerusalem is home to the "navel of the world" (aka Omphalos); in Jewish, tradition it is considered the center of the world.

By immediately highlighting the over-the-hill, navel-gazing égoïste Ben Vautier and a certain Maison Rouge bête noire lodestone with a piece by Jacques Lizène, glaring issues of cultural appropriation, typical of wealthy White male privilege, came flooding back from my experience of the rabid culture surfing and anti-identity-confirmation sampling within La Maison Rouge's Theatre of the World show.

Critic's Pick Michael R. Jackson's gutsy, exasperated musical is set within the mind of a black, queer man who's writing a musical about a black, queer man who's writing a musical … Navel-gazing becomes a highly invasive procedure — a full-on laparoscopy of the heart, soul and loins — in Michael R. Jackson's "A Strange Loop," which opened on Monday at Playwrights Horizons.

Fluency in one's own secret language of the self requires a lot of navel-gazing and brutal honesty about everything from what you like to eat and read to how you get it on, but when you've been socialized in a world that tries to train you how to be from birth, scheduling time to get to know yourself feels downright liberating.

She becomes aware of a stream of water licking its way down the end of her hair and into the collar of her slicker, and then slipping coolly across the bare skin of her left shoulder and then over her left breast and across her lower left rib cage and entering her navel and unfurling itself luxuriously over her right hip.

Below is a flavor of opinions on Twitter's #20173 experiment surfaced from the tech space — which runs a pretty full gamut of views on mega tweets — from supportive (and/or sarcastic) to indifferent to excited to horrified to snarky to creative to critical to navel-gazing to, well, hopeful that the change might finally break the addictive spell of Twitter… Can't wait for #bringback140.

Because the clothes, which are a kind of petri dish of associative splicing, grapple honestly with what is on the designers' minds: questions of gender and difference and the details of fallible beauty framed in low-slung trousers and shirts cropped and tailored to the navel, knit slip dresses trailing streamers from seams; and a stretch cardigan unbuttoned to expose a very pregnant belly.

We're thinking hard about what to make for breakfast on Christmas morning to go with the navel oranges Mom is sure to put in the toes of our stockings, and to go with the whitefish we're hoping Cousin Ed picks up from the appetizing shop my father always called Federman's before he comes over to smoke on the deck out back instead of talking to family.

But Leonardo tries hundreds of ways to do it, even when he's young, he's drawing and you get to Vitruvian Man, there's the guy in the circle and the square with the same area, tries to be, because the circle extends higher than the square so the navel can be at the center of the circle and the genitals are right in the center of the square.

You know, the one that was cut down to her navel and up to her crotch, and set off so many digital searches back in the day that, in the myth of the internet and fashion, it is said Google created image search because of it (a more plausible version of the story is that it was part of the reason; a big part, sure, but still — a part).

With no real evidence to suggest that this sculpture is meant to be surrealist – Shearer's face isn't upside down, nor is there an outstretched arm reaching ominously out of his navel – we have to assume that it is meant to be a faithful representation of the world's most famous Geordie, and as such knock it down further for, in our opinion, looking like a cross between Nigel Pearson and Oakie Doke.

I started to get suspicious that this might not be the case around 1970, with the fractionalization of the "movement" into Balkanized racial, ethnic, and gender-based identity politics; self-actualization navel gazing; back-to-the-land urban desertions; self-help and fitness programs; herds of gurus and yogis — all of which were ostensibly calculated to produce the kind of human who could achieve the enlightened political state while achieving an enlightened spiritual state.

Take a step back, and the whole Trump-bashing riff by Mrs Clinton, delivered on September 9th against the slightly unhelpful backdrop of a fund-raising gala in Manhattan, points to a dreadful dilemma that the Republican presidential nominee represents for the entire political establishment, meaning not just Mrs Clinton and the Democrats, but principled and thoughtful Republicans, and (at the risk of navel-gazing) journalists trying to report fairly on this election, too.

His composer is so given to bellyaching and navel-gazing, however, that the novel gains power and resonance when it steps outside its hero's head, and instead uses Shostakovich's story to probe such favorite themes as the relativity of history and the subjectivity of experience (the same themes that animated earlier Barnes novels like "The Porcupine" and "A History of the World in 10½ Chapters"), and to chronicle the absurdities that artists suffer under totalitarianism.

And as Kevin talked about how his sister helped him realize that holding on to his grief over his dad's death (which happened 20 years ago) wasn't helping him, or her, or their other brother, Randall, or their mother, I realized that TV critics like me, who are fond of navel-gazing, might not be the best audience for a show about a bunch of people who couldn't find their navels with a belly button detector.
