Okay, babe, step away from the period romances. It's '06 in England too, pinky swear.(i'd tell Tiara Chick)
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

How naive must someone be to think that England affords a young lady LOTS of opportunities to wear a tiara out and about?
Well, she's pretty clearly just had her prom. Possibly her junior prom.
Um, actually I have no defense for her, other than to say that
In any case, the days of private balls and grand opera nights where tiaras were worn seem to have faded away.
Depends on what circles you run in, I guess. I have one or two of these events a year, and the embassy staff in London has more. I will agree that no one wears tiaras to Burns Night.
Furthermore, tiaras are not supposed to be worn by unmarried ladies, with the exception of those who are being married within an hour of placing them carefully in their hair.
I had no idea! I thought a tiara was what unmarried ladies wore! (With a crown being what married ladies wore.) I don't think I can overstate the impact of Wonder Woman on my sartorial comprehesion.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Only in England would there be rules for tiara-wearing. Here in the US, one can wear a tiara while vacuuming. In the nude. Unless Homeland SSecurity has recently made a counter-ruling on that.

On Buffista Island every day will be tiara-appropriate, and there will be none of these silly rules about married/unmarried, or males/females being able to wear them.
While I have no defense for her, I'm sorry for her that her daydream about what Merry Olde England is like has been pierced by reality.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Rules, schmulz. And a tiny round hat box is perfect for packing a tiara. Ppppffftttbbbbbbb.
I found out today that I missed an gyno appointment last month. *sigh* And the calls from my dentist indicated I probably missed a cleaning as well. My brain is mush.

Actually, I think that's what we're forcing the inmates at Guantanamo to do.

Lucky bastards. Aside from the vacuuming, I mean.

OMG. SO TIRED.
And so much to do.
Also, cannot nap, because I'm expecting a package. Sucks to be me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just came home sick. Cancelled two appointments with students, plus office hours, and missing a seminar I was supposed to attend. Didn't want to cancel all that stuff, but I threw up my breakfast and then barely kept down my lunch, and just couldn't get through five more hours of being in the office.
