Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

hip deep in pie

I'd say barefoot too, but only after saying YUM!

What is even happening?

Question: Pick one -- barefoot, wet, or bespectacled?

I say you need a triple crown page, that's what.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cindy, you can't propose something when something else is on the table. That being said, SECONDED.

Oh, Jilli. You need to acompany me on my commute to work. There is a stretch where all the young women (and men, but they tend to be boring and walking around holding their baggy-to-the-point-of-pants shorts up by the crotch) are decked out in the latest trendy fashions. It makes your eyes bleed. I've seen just the outfit you describe but tighter, skimpier and with much more shiney.

Weirdest so far was a couple times this week. Chick was wearing a pair of mid-calf bulky boot, lined with fur, that presumably zipped up both sides of the ankle. Except they weren't. So the front half flopped forward over her foot a good two inches and the back trailed at her heels. Everything else she was wearing was the usual high trend and she was walking normally, so I guess it wasn't an accident.

Your tag here.

Dammit, I missed the Great Potato Debate!

I wanted to say twice-baked...

Anyhoo, carry on with your wacky LA fashion review, darlings!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fashion bemuses me. I'm a little ticked that this year Target is offering the styles of swimsuits I spent so much effort tracking down last year.

I don't mind being trendy -- it makes it easier on a lazy shopper like myself. It so rarely happens, it seems, and about never in the spring.

A Lush question -- how the hell do you get the Bollywood bath bomb to not stain the bath? I pretty much had to bleach mine out. Will I be washing the tub while still in post-soak glow? It smelled so nice ... and I still have half a one left.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

one of those pink & brown shrunken tweed jackets (that ties shut with a limp satin ribbon bow)

I'm sorry, I broke after that description. I hate those tiny, ill-fitting jackets, and I haven't even seen ones that don't button close.

Um, er, ita? I broke after that picture, too.

If I only had a brain...

I like the Mizrahi skirtini.

Note to everybody else on the Internet:

PLEASE LEARN TO SPELL.

Thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is the key to shrunken the not closing in front? I tried on a small jacket last weekend, with fasteners that extended past the jacket instead. It looked ... okay. A bit mod, a bit futuristic, but there wasn't the love required.

Burrell, I am so glad to break you. I thought of you especial.

Follow-up lush question -- is there a simple way to find out which bath bombs glitter and which don't?

Um, check the ingredient list?
