OMG SO TIRED.

I don't know how people, people with children, can do all that every day. EVERY DAY. CHILDREN. Wow. I am in awe. And can never, ever, ever imagine being able to do it.

Nephew, 3. Niece, 18 months. walking, running, screaming, laughing, crying, falling, whining. Lots of snot. I do love them, though, and had a great time with them.

But, DAYUM.

something about the tone is complementary

I think I'm way too yellow to find a complement for my skin tone, sadly.

Cracked me up for more than it probably should have.

So, the score on the family today:

• Mom of Cass - On her way here, bringing me stuff, and willing to do some fix-it stuff while she is here.
• Sister of Cass - Sending me the nephlet for a week in June/July because I am the most fabulous auntie. Also? Not going back to work after she has the new babies which is the best news of her pregnancy! Yay.
• Nephlet - Called me on his way to school just to say hi. See above, re: Best Auntie Evah.
• Racer Dad - Replied in email and I just booked his entire trip here except for the flight. Hotel, race tickets with pit passes and dinner for my birthday.
• StepMom - Sent this email: Hi Jen, You need to ask [jackass brother] and [sanctimonius sister-in-law] for their address. love, Mom The hell? I want their address to send a letter, not a bomb. Sheesh.
• Brother - Nothing. Emailed him at home, now work and will email sil next. This is just getting too complicated for an APOLOGY.

So I can't even get in touch with my brother, but my sister thinks I am fabulous enough to ship her child here. It's like Bizarro World. With coffee.

Yep, it’s called “raisin” clearly, it does not match my skin, as I am not purple, but something about the tone is complementary, so that you can’t see it under anything. However, I think that the bastards at VS stopped making it.

Any time I find an undergarment that works well (either shape or color, or whatever) I always mean to stock up. It's like word gets back to the manufacture that I like it, and they can't have that.

Your raisin experience is similar to mine with the pale pink undies and bras. The color doesn't match my skin, but it works. An artist friend told me that even really fair-skinned white people have more [some fancy name for a yellowed tint maybe umber or sepia or I don't know what] yellow in their skin than any other color, even if you don't see it.

I can wear pale pink under white, and it is much less (up to invisible, depending on the over clothing) noticeable, than if I wore white.

I don't think I know anyone the color (or tone) of beige undies.

Are they the best non-visible choice for any Bitches, or for any certain ethnicity, as far as any Bitch knows?

No idea, but I can say that I am yellow as all hell. Pale first (I get teased about being transparent a lot), but yellow under that.

I'm yellow on top of stuff. Yellow on top of brown. Light brown. They should have taken a look at me before they decided to call Asian people yellow.

I'm on the blue/pinkish side of pale, but most of my bras are black because most of my shirts are black.

I wear the nude-colored bras all summer, and nude-colored underwear under white pants, and it works best for me. For reference purposes, this is most often the Target brand Gilligan & O'Malley stuff, since I am cheap as hell when it comes to underwear.

I'm fair, but I think a little more peachy than yellow.

AmyLiz is me when it comes to underpinnings. Which sounds porny, but is merely a testament to our joint thriftiness and skintone.

Um, I'm skin coloured. And I wear whatever bra happens to be clean. This can range from black to green to wine to polka-dot on any given day.
