Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of the things I found amusing in Spain was when I climbed to peak at Monserrat (highest point in Spain! Wooohoo! But I didn't go all the way up) was the utter and complete lack of anything preventative-safety wise. Oh, there was that Peligro! sign. Lying on its side where it had fallen 15 feet down a cliff on the crumbling trail. Pretty much summed up warnings everywhere I went. You do something stupid and get maimed or die? Sucks to be you.
Love this. We skiied at Whistler/Blackcomb years ago and all the crazy cliffs and other death-inducing terrain were marked with tiny little orange frisbees that said "cliff" in small letters. hee hee! As opposed to the American ski resorts with copious fencing and gates and big honking warning signs.
Kat and I were gonna play hooky tomorrow and go skiing/snowboarding, but it seems we've already missed the good post-storm snow window. One local resort says their snow surface "Ranges from machine groomed hard packed powder on the steeper slopes to machine groomed hard pack that develops a thin wet layer for most of the day." Ugh.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
See, we don't HAVE $20. That's part of the thing.
Both the Bad Bridesmaids?
Well-paying full-time jobs.

You could come ski here! It's all fluffy and shit. Of course, city, but... I'll bet ther mountains have fluffy pack.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I threw a formal shower where one of the games was stolen right from B.org...the "What's your porn name?" game.
I can never think of a clever porn name. One of my college roommates replied, "Buster Hymen" when we tried thinking of porn names one drunken night. This caused a mental block for me that I can never quite get past.

Can you get the $20 from the Bad Bridesmaids? Otherwise, just use a dollar store doll, and that link for a model.....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Of course, the cake barbie comes with a Special Enclosure -- for which I'm guessing you could use a TP roll.

Or, honestly, just stick the damn doll in the damn cake, add pink frosting, and bob's your uncle!
Heh. I'm all pissed off on Erin's behalf now.

I had a Barbie doll cake once. I was SIX YEARS OLD.
A bridesmaid's job is to throw a fun shower/bachlorette party and to make sure the bride's dress doesn't get stuck in her panty hose. I think asking any more than that is just stupid.
