You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

Did you have a religious dress code to meet, Hil?

Yep. Skirt past the knees, sleeves at least to the elbows, not even a hint of cleavage. I was figuring that if I could get something long enough and with a high enough neckline, then I could wear a cardigan over it, or if I could find something with the length and sleeves but not the neckline, then I could wear a camisole under it. I wasn't too worried about skirt length, since things that are supposed to be miniskirts tend to be just above knee-legnth on me, so anything reasonably long would work.

This needs a home, though I suspect with neither Hil nor Shrift.

I'd wear that style, I suppose. Just not in pink.

I'm just not glamorous enough to pull off the black one, though.

Austria has built the world's first beer swimming pool.

Babelfished from the original site:

Highlight of the 4000 square meters of large experience world including medieval castle: Filters beer pools. Everyone is filled with approximately 20,000 litres barley juice. However the beer does not flow by any means freshtapped from the cock. The original fermenting tanks made of high-grade steel are filled with the so-called Biergelaeger, the remainder yeast, which sets off when brewing in the beer tank.

The 4 times 4 meters of large tanks can be rented for 135 euro in each case one evening long. Amann: "natural does not have to bathe anybody in the Bierbruehe of its predecessors, we fills up the tubs for each Mr. or also lady evening freshly."

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

Anthropologie is so weird. In Michigan, I got some really lovely stuff, but only on the sale racks. I look through the web site and think interesting ...pretty...expensive. But in the stores? Still expensive, less interesting and pretty, though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Okay, I slit the sides up to the hips and wear them over a Big Skirt, but I've seen women my size and larger wear cheongsams in the usual manner and look fabulous.

Ooh, your way sounds fun. Maybe it's a how-your-body's-arranged kind of thing.

I believe I just found my new tag.

Hil, I think that what you got is probably the best idea. Now is not a good time of year to buy sleeves -- cardy or sweater over dress or skirt sounds like a win for you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I haven't looked at the stuff in the stores lately, but that's probably all for the better, as I do not do fluorescent colors, or excessive cutesy.(Ruffles, big flowers, etc.)

I need to figure out what I'm wearing to my nephew's bris next week. I don't have a lot of lighter-weight dresses.(At least not the type that would be appropriate for such an event)
