That Nancy O'Dell dress was very much like a babydoll negligee, IMO. The color was nice, but the rest of it--bleah.
ION, the NYT has an interesting article on cat evolution, complete with adorable kitty pic.

I wish that they had a family chart with that article. I love "frugal displays of affection" -- although that doesn't really describe my Ivan.
With each migration, evolutionary forces morphed the pantherlike patriarch of all cats into a rainbow of species, from ocelots and lynxes to leopards, lions and the lineage that led to the most successful cat of all, even though it has mostly forsaken its predatory heritage: the cat that has induced people to pay for its board and lodging in return for frugal displays of affection.
(Bold mine)
Is the PR finale during fashion week or after?

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

Yes! You are all pawns to the frontline of the feline domination assault forces.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Bf and I have NPR names, due ot the un-yoooo-sual names of all NPR correspondents. I'm Tondelayo Miller and He's Satirious Fogelson. We figure there's some sort of rule that people have to change their names from, say, "Kevin Halligan" to "Cormac LongChamps" when they get hired.

Color Test: the old left/right brain struggle
This is a Stroop test, used to measure attention and distractability. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with left-right brain differences. Odd that they would imply that it does.

Why must this man have a social life?
Eek. It's tough. Basically, he needs to have a social life with people who have their own apartments infinitiely prefereable to the one he shares with you, so that he is Invisible!Roomate, a fine, if dying breed.
Because if he didn't have a social life at ALL then he'd be hanging around bugging you solo.
You need to deep freeze him so he's uncomfortable in public spaces. No, it's not nice, but it can be extremely effective.
