It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

"Here's my baby; her name is ASSHOLE" totally cracked me up, not least because I know so many actual parents who have at times been driven to say very similar things about their own actual babies (self included).

The critiques of her toddler outfit also kind of cracked me up, just because every single actual toddler I know, given the freedom to pick out her own outfit, would have happily pounced on every single thing Elena made and then insisted on wearing them all at once, probably with a few more items for good measure. Granted, it all frequently gives grown-ups tension headaches from the clashing visuals, but "sample sale" and "shops at Goodwill" are actually perfectly cromulent descriptors of the fashion aesthetic of most toddlers.

Now I sort of wish they'd had an actual toddler guest-judging.

Ha! Tim is with me. That's always nice.

I wanted to say something when I saw your post but I didn't want to spoil that for you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thank you for your restraint, because that was an awesome moment for me.

I couldn't really see what was wrong with Elena's toddler outfit, but I am right this moment wearing a lavender overalls over a pink tank top - not outside clothes, but still - so clearly I own my questionable taste levels. A toddler judge would have really changed the game!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is anyone else as excited as I am about the Beekman boys on TAR? I didn't watch their show, but their book was completely adorable.

Who are they? I missed the first part of the show so didn't see the intros.

They're a gay couple from NYC who bought a goat farm and turned it into a brand (after realizing that they were never going to make any money from the actual farm part of owning a farm). They wrote a book and have (had?) a show on the Cooking Channel.

I didn't realize they wrote a book. Interesting.

Oh god, that show was hilarious. My SIL showed me a couple of episodes when I was at their place for Christmas a few years back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
