Question for the fashion experts: Is it possible that a woman such as myself, assuming I'd lost 30-40 lbs. and was therefore more or less at my most attractive weight, could look good in a cheongsam? Because I love the look, and they tend to come in those hard-to-find shades of rich red that look gorgeous on olive-toned brunettes. (Funny, that.) However, I'm afraid I'm too broad-shouldered and buxom to pull it off.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've seen some sexy, voluptuous women who look great in cheongsams. I think you could pull it off. Have you seen the movie In The Mood?
Cheongsam-arama.
Though, nobody will benefit from comparing themselves to Maggie Cheung.

Where I will visit other relatives, and Buffistas if so inclined, before the conference starts.
It's a date.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Timelies. I have worked a million hours today and into the night, but wanted to peek in before bed and say yay Askye on the house, and vw on school; sorry about the water situation. {{{Nora}}} sorry about the asstassticness of the day. And finally, Kara made up a knock knock joke today.
Knock knock
Who's there?
The bear
The bear who?
The bear who goes anywhere he wants to!
Goodnight lovelies. I hope your night is restful and tomorrow is full of peace and blessings.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Deena!
Ginger, I'm in Atlanta a few times a year, give or take. Most of the time it's for hockey. The next time is the 11th-13th of March for Districts. I don't know how much free time I'll have, but you could come watch a game if you're so inclined.
edit: {{{Nora}}} Losing someone tragically sucks. I hope to never experience that again. Much love and peace to you, my dear.

Cool.
I've never actually seen a hockey game in person.

Sorry. I had to put laundry in the dryer. We leave for Charleston SC in the morning and I had no underwear.

This isn't the NHL by any stretch of the imagination, but it's fun. 14-16 year old boys from MD will be trying to advance to Nationals, and I'll be trying to avoid the parents from hell. Some of them think their children are better than they actually are, and it's insufferable. I'm not used to it; for the past 5 years, the parents have been terrific.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(((Nora))) I don't even know what happened to make this day crap all over you, but I am vibing hard for it to go the hell away and let you wake up to a Friday that is golden.
I recognized Lyra's tag right away. Spoken by Krakow, bitterly, while riding his dirtbike in angry little circles around Angela, IIRC, as she changes in the bushes and slounges on the sidewalk waiting for Rayanne to pick her up for their illicit trip to Let's Bolt. And I haven't even seen it in, like, two years.
