Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think they contribute to the inevitable fall of the American empire.
Well, that tallish dirty blond over there screaming "Viva la revolucion!" as he swigs his sam adams and shovels food from the hotel buffet onto his plate? The one taking pictures of ducks at the bar?
That's my brother.
Well, if it's inevitable...
Oh, I was just kidding. Swank hotels are okay. Been a while, though. I think The Hudson was the last one.
Watching Daybreak. I read somewhere that it had been advertised as a finite series--what did they say?

Then it's all about how soon.
I got an Uncommon Goods catalog. They have neat stuff. However, the key-keepers that are the man or woman cutouts like on a bathroom sign? Where the key goes in at crotch level? Just kind of freak me out.
My last swank hotel no longer exists. Well, it exists, but its name has changed. It used to be Le Meridien, Boston. [link]
The swankest hotel I ever stayed in was the Trump on Central Park West, thanks to Deb. That was unfuckingbelievably posh.
But my sentimental favorite is the Waldorf in NYC. I took Stephen there for our anniversary years ago (a romantic surprise!), and not only was the hotel as gorgeous and lush as I imagined, they were so nice. When the girl at the desk asked what brought us in, I told her it was our anniversary and she upgraded us to a junior suite and sent up champagne. So gracious.
Huh. I looked up the Peabody. Turns out they've got a sister hotel in Orlando now, ducks and all. So, he could be drinking with the ducks today.
The swankest hotel for me was the penthouse at THEHotel Mandalay Bay. HMOFG, was that nice.
Scott took me to Le Meridien for my 30th birthday. He hired a limo. We went out to eat in the North End, spent the night in Le Meridien, and had a fabulous breakfast there the next day. Clearly, we didn't have a mortgage, then. We had a wonderful time, but I couldn't wait to get home to the baby. Sucker.
I've done the Royal York in Toronto--multiple showerheads in the stalls. The Half Moon in Montego Bay--both onsite cottages and adjacent villas with use of the grounds (and with driver, cook, and cleaner). The FDR wasn't bad either--the service was stellar.
