Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
Why can't it be Spring yet? I want sun AND warm weather. Is that too much to ask for? Also, I suspect that the kids want that too, and that's why they were so absolutely evil today.

The only thing I don't like about that shoe is the open toe. Oh, and the price.
My grand plans for the day have been derailed. I made it to the grocery store, but I forgot to buy anything I could eat for lunch. So I had a Slimfast shake. That is not really cutting it.
Anyway, I am neglecting my kitchen to put together my new china cabinet. Well, taking a break from that, having gotten through step 7 of 14 and realizing that I messed up back in step 4 or so, so I need to undo steps 6 & 7. So, break.

Didn't the marabou go extinct sometime in the 50's, along with the naughas?
Clearly, not enough drag queens in your life.

The only reason I got rid of the marabou-trimmed mules I once owned was because I couldn't walk in them. If I could find some flat marabou-trimmed mules, I'd wear them around the house ALL THE TIME.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Do any of your areas have laws against saggy pants?
Not a city ordinance yet, but they're creeping towards it.... [link]
The Cordish Co. has implemented a dress code for events at the Kansas City Live block. It’s a move that has stirred controversy elsewhere.
“We believe it will be a safe and friendly environment,” said Jon Stephens, Power & Light District marketing director. “The live courtyard is built to be an environment that can be controlled. … all events will require wristbands and IDs to purchase alcoholic beverages.”
The dress code will include prohibitions on “bandanas, work boots, and ripped and excessively baggy clothing.” Stephens said the code would be posted prominently. He said Cordish was working with City Councilwoman Melba Curls on an ordinance that would establish citywide standards for implementing dress codes.
Ugh.

No reason behind this but common sense, but I don't see how the new city dress code is even legal. The saggy pants may be silly, but not obscene. The law passed by over 70%. Big push by the mayor. Good grief.

“bandanas, work boots, and ripped and excessively baggy clothing.”
Work boots? What will people who are actually doing work that requires boots wear?

I don't see how the new city dress code is even legal.
If it's only being applied to a privately owned if publically accessible area, then they have a leg to stand on. Recently Salt Lake City sold a block-length of city street that was next to the LDS Temple downtown to the LDS Church so that the church could turn it into a walking plaza. Strict behavior and clothing guidelines are in place there, and people can be thrown out if they don't conform.
Yes, this has and continues to cause controversy.
