Raw oysters = local flavor. I think the St. Louis is near what I think of as the oyster district, several oyster bars in the same block. They make for a pretty cheap meal, though you have to go out to the 'burbs to get th 25 ¢ oysters. You can usually get things that are neither oysters not raw at oyster bars as well.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Laura, I liked that haircut you linked to so much that I printed it out and am taking it to the salon today so I can look just like you!
Signed,

Our wings are not tired.
Tell me more, shiny one.
As painful as this may be for you to hear, I hadn't cut my hair since before Christmas and it was halfway down to my elbow. It could have been described as stringy.
It's quite healthy since I only use natural color on it now, so it shines. Red. We talked for a bit before we cut it and decided on a longer layered shag. Not a whole lot of layer since I have such fine hair. We took quite a bit off the length, just past shoulder.
It is quite nice for my lifestyle requiring only a quick toweling and dash out the door. No product in my hot and sticky life. She did make me promise to rinse after swimming to keep it shiny.

I liked that too Robin! It is pretty much that cut in front, with a little more length in back.
I suspect there will be pictures this weeked.
Also, loving the notion of being a Robin twin!

As a kid (we had a pool in the backyard), ever summer the ends of my hair would be green by the time school started again. Definitely rinse your hair after swimming.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, my boss loves one place on Bourbon, next to the Royal Sonesta hotel.

Desire Oyster Bar? It's actually in the Royal Sonesta, I think. Acme Oyster is the one I always think of. There are many.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was hanging out with my NOLA relatives this weekend. They rhapsodised over places to get good hooch. The only one I can remember is Bank Cafe -- I think it was their martinis that stood out.

I just took a look at the Commander's Palace online menu. Are we thinking of doing the chef's playground tasting as a group? Because other than that, the food prices aren't looking nearly as scary as people's comments had led me to believe — the appetizer/entree/dessert combinations are in the 30s, and there are several a la carte entrees that are less than $30.

+wine. Which, in my experience, can quickly become a substantial portion of the bill when dining in a group. But $50/person was what I was mentally budgeting. That's a lot in my world.
