Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

so, tomorrow, I'm speed dating, what the hell do I wear? I'm thinking of coming home to freshen up, so I could change out of work clothes. I could wear:

1. black suit with knee length black jacket and knee length skirt. can wear either black pumps, slingbacks or boots.

2. charcoal grey suit with short jacket, long trumpet hem skirt. same shoe options.

blouse options: slate blue silk sweater, crimson silk vneck sweater, shiny slate blue shell, turtlenecks in various colors.

or I could wear an LBD with a jacket or sweater.

Discuss.

One side effect of being the child of older parents was the lack of great-grandparents in my life. I learned a few years back that, until I was 6, there was at least one living one (the youngest of my great-grandparents, to my knowledge, born as he was in 1890 or so), but he abandoned the family as soon as my great-grandmother died. As he was by all accounts a nasty man, I suppose it's not much of a loss.

Paul's grandmother is only 80, and I hope she's around long enough for Lillian to remember.

My great-grandmother lived until she was 94. I was seven when she died. My grandfather is currently a great-grandfather to my cousin's two kids. I wonder if they realize how lucky they are to have him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Vortex, black suit with either the slate blue silk sweater or the crimson silk v-neck sweater (depending on how cleavage-y and flirty you want to be) and the boots or slingbacks. And yay speed dating.

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

I knew my dad's grandmother, but I don't think any of my other sibs did (or at least, were old enough to remember her). My older-younger sister, maybe.

The person standing next to me, she turns to me and says, "That was quick!" How come women keep saying that to me?

People do this to me ALL THE TIME. I must look interested in elevators of something.

I vote for the black suit and the crimson sweater.

Photos from the 2006 Spring/Summer Dior collection. Very foofy and gothy. (Well, some of it. There are a few brown pieces that look like the models are dressed in moss, and some of the collars are just absurd.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw a lot of gothy type looks in the latest issue of Elle, too. Must be the new black.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anybody been watching Roller Derby on A&E?

I like the name "Punky Bruiser."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Plei or Jilli, if you are around, what have you heard about the Marqueen hotel?
