We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

[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.

I'm trying to decide whether to dress up tonight. The kids are having a dance, and instructors are encouraged to at least stop by for a little while. I'm going to, because it's always fun, and it's hysterical to watch the girls try to be all sophisticated and grown-up while the boys do things like try to see who can drink the most disgusting concoction of fruit punch and crumbled chips. Anyway, the theme is "decades" -- pretty much, dress in something from some decade other than the current one. Fifties and sixties are always popular. Only problem is, I have nothing terribly retro-looking here with me. I could do some sort of fifties thing with jeans and a white t-shirt, but that's kind of boring. Any suggestions?

Also, did you know there's some kind of comic book/SF thingy on in the town tomorrow?

A side ponytail, some serious blush and eye shadow and you can look eighties no matter what else you wear.

Aha! Well, neither did I until last night. Le Bloke picked up at a flyer at a comic book shop. I'm not sure on the details, but yeah, comic book and SF thingy.

Ooh, wait, he just came on msn. I shall garner details.

Good idea, but I don't have any makeup here.

Rolling up the cuffs of my jeans to make them into pedal-pushers, plus white t-shirt and high ponytail, with Converse, seems to work for impromptu fifties, I think. (Why did I forget to bring a tie-dye shirt? They have theme days every year, and a tie-dye shirt is always useful for at least one of those.)

Yes, yes it is. Fancy it?

Oooh! I could definitely be tempted. Although I rather fear the money haemmoraging thing, but, but...and it looks like it's close to the train station and everything!

Cash, JZ, and flea - thanks for the maternity-wear advice and links. I've forwarded it all. Up to and including the surry/Suri discussion.

I'm glad your DH is home and doing well, connie. May the treatment do its job well.

Cash, so sorry the shot has lost effectiveness; I'm sending along all good thoughts and -ma for you.

R's boss is an asshead.

Agreed.

Serious health-ma to your grandpa, Steph.

Dental health-ma to Robin. Minimal pain, too.

Yay, Jen! Congratulations!

I will be Pirating at the movies on Saturday with my niece, assuming there are tickets to be had. And I will look appropriately piratey, too, including my skull and crossbone earring in the second hole of the two-hole ear and my requisite scarf, of course.

ETA: And, sj, energy-ma to you.
