Also, wasn't Duran Duran considered to be the first band to become superstars due to MTV video airplay? Of course, many bemoaned this as a triumph of fluff/appearances over the actual music.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hi Bitches!
Congrats on the home, Vortex -- too bad about the windows! Hopefully you'll get a nice fat discount out of it.
It's approximately five thousand degrees outside, and D is dealing with the heat by sleeping peacefully in his Amby just as long as I stay awake to keep it rocking AT ALL TIMES. (He's also willing to sleep peacefully in my arms, but I can only play Human Rocking Chair for so long before my wrists give out from supporting his head. Plus, babies is HOT. At some point the comforts of Being Held By Mommy are outweighed by the discomforts of Mommy's Sweaty Arms.)
My mother is here this week, and is currently cleaning my kitchen. She's been cleaning my kitchen for two days now. I am terribly embarrassed that I let it get that bad, but not ashamed enough to take over the cleaning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was only after I read the account of Berlin's decadent era Voluptuous Panic that I discovered that there really were gangs of "Wild Boys" roaming in Berlin during the 30s, which inspired Wm. Burroughs to write about them.
Of course, anybody can stick "wild" and "boys" together, but I do think Duran Duran were bouncing off those origins.
The original Wild Boys were gangs of boy prostitutes, basically.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hi, Jess! I love your tagline!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It's Mommy Jessica! Don't worry about the kitchen. You've been busy making a person.

Hee! Thank you!
Don't worry about the kitchen. You've been busy making a person.
True that. If nothing else, I couldn't really bend down far enough to reach most of the cleaning supplies for the past couple of months anyway.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jessica! Let your mother take care of the kitchen, and don't feel guilty about it. You'll likely be doing the same for D someday.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jess, I've been following your pictures on Flickr, and (1) DZ is utterly beautiful, and (b) you look way too well-rested for a new mama. (I don't doubt that you actually *aren't* well-rested, but your appearance suggests otherwise.)

I knew that some people would get it, and I thought that you would be one of them.
Heh. That's partly b/c just a few days ago, The Boy and I were arguing about the correct way to spell it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Okay, this is officially the sweetest picture in the history of EVAR.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
When I saw the title, I thought it was a re-creation of that picture of a rabbit with a pancake on its head. But with a baby.
