Kathy, if you haven't already read the Wood and Jankowski biography of Karski, you must must must. So good (but so heartbreaking -- I had to put it down for a month after reading about his meeting with Felix Frankfurter and Frankfurter's polite but utterly disbelieving dismissal of Karski and everything he reported; it just made my gut churn so badly I couldn't touch the book for a while).

Please get going and write that fic!

Even in those pictures she looks kind of soft.

I like how she looks.

Here's the little bit on black & navy. I think it looks especially good in the first picture.

God, why can't it be noon yet?

I did not know the iconic Grace Jones picture was a manip. Hmm.

I've always wondered that....

Oh--I thought Jesse meant she was out of shape.

I did -- but really just for a professional performer wearing a bra and panties (and nothing else, Sophia!). Her belly was soft and not-flat. Obviously she's thinner and in better shape than I am!

I like the black and navy in the first picture, too. I can see myself buying an outfit that combined the colors like that, and I've worn black shoes with navy dresses before. But for some reason I don't think I could bring myself to pair, say, a navy sweater with the black pants I'm wearing today.

Jesse, if it's any comfort to you, my computer spontaneously went "Gah!" and restarted itself while I was working on two Word docs. God knows what state they're in now.

Actually, it's an aye-aye, a rare primate.

What is up with that, Dana? Annoying!

Well, she was boldly rounded for someone wearing a bra and tap pants publicly.

That's a good way to put it. Plus, she looked bored - or maybe sort of out of it. Hard to know with her.
