Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I need a sanity check from someone with more mainstream fashion sense than me.

Is wearing one of those pink & brown shrunken tweed jackets (that ties shut with a limp satin ribbon bow) with a pair of those ‘dirty wash’ jeans (dark blue denim with pale tan ‘scuff marks’ on the butt & backs of the thighs) that are rolled up to show pale tan calf-high, stiletto-heeled boots really in fashion? I cannot fathom looking at that in the mirror and thinking it was attractive, but I do understand my definition of ‘pretty clothes’ are … different from the rest of the world.

If I only had a brain...

Just because it's in fashion doesn't make it forgivable.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

For a brief, horrible second there, I read Is as I'm, and my world slowly started crumbling around me. Good to know I'm just a bad reader.

And Jilli, I do not comprehend the look either, but I doubt anyone is surprised by that.

Jilli, that's SO Fall 2004.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The jacket and jeans are very much in fashion. (Lots of the undergrads here are wearing them.) Not so sure about the boots, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

really in fashion?

AFAICT, yet, but see above, re: what Betsy said.

Gaaah! No. No, no, no. I will admit I'm tempted to add wide velvet ribbon to one of my black repro-Edwardian riding jackets, because I think a velvet bow would look cute at the waistline, but those weird multi-colored shrunken tweed things? Ew. Not For Me.

I suspected so, because the women who work in the marketing department here are so very up-to-the-minute on baffling, trendy fashion.

The other day, one of them asked me where I found all of my 'So hot!' reproduction Victorian blouses, because she wanted some. I made up the name of a boutique, because I do not want to have to fight Those People at the thrift stores for clothing items I've been collecting for years.

Yeah, but I prefer them with dark denim with maybe a bit of fade. But, I'm against dirty wash in the first place. It makes me want to rip off the jeans and throw them in the wash with some color-safe bleach.

Wow. I efiled my Missouri taxes Tuesday night, and my return was in my bank account today.

Color me impressed.
