TORNADO WARNING FOR... NORTHWESTERN COOK COUNTY IN NORTHEAST ILLINOIS
That's just south of me! We've got lightning, thunder, but not much rain right now. Last Friday, I was heading into the Jewels and a huge liightning bolt hit a few miles away, with a deafening crack of thunder immediately following. I'm sure the cat was freaking out about that, but by the time I got home, she was OK, if hungry (as usual).
Looking at radar, I think it's gonna miss me. (It's a very intense but small storm system.)
I think I shall take a nap.
Remember the oh-so-adorable Colbert Kid? Well, he's back, and this time he's armed!
God, I'm still lusting after Ellen Barkin's jewelry. And I'm usually so content with what I can afford. Look at this stuff. Unfaceted rubies and emeralds! And, oh lord, the pearls. I don't mind diamonds so much when they play second fiddle to other stones. I don't know what makes a sautoir a sautoir and not a mere necklace, but I'd be willing to learn. It's like fucking candy!
Oy.
I share your lust, ita.

Length, IIRC. If it falls below the waist, it's a sautoir.
