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.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

you gotta spend a lot of time thinking about it, which I know you don't have.

There's also the "the look I want looks stupid on the body I have". Seems all the other Ladies of Size get to the thrift stores before I do.

But I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil, and I'm being forced to the sewing machine because no one makes an affordable (ie, Wal-Mart/Target) skirt that doesn't make my hips look like a well-stuffed sausage. Designers are buttheads.

I deeply resent capris, because they look so cute on other women, and look totally silly on me. There is no place on my calf that is a good spot to be visually cut in half by a hem.

I prefer palazzo pants, myself.

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

I seem to have finally settled into the Rockstar look, which seduces items from Goth and Punk, promises them pretty things, and then makes off in the middle of the night on the motorcycle.

But you said you loved me!

I do, baby, I do. I just can't be tied down, y'know. I'm a cowgirl, on a steel horse I ride....

Ditto. They are for the long of leg. Not someone with a 25" inseam.

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

Tapered capris make me look like a pear, but I do like the wide-legged styles for an office-friendly alternative to skirts in the summer. (So-called "work shorts" are NEVER an option. /judgypants )
