Oh, the Keira Knightley pictures are making me despair. She just isn't the lush, bouncy, bosomy Georgiana that someone like Winslet so easily could've been.
And still way too young to pull off the sheer misery of the worst period of the Duchess's life, and the extreme aging-and-ravages-of-illness makeup could be cringe-inducing.
Bah.
Friend emailed back and apologized for the Supremes crack, then answered a rhetorical aside I made about people who think the last 8 years would have been no different with Gore in the White House with, "Well, sure, it would've been different, but only marginally. And don't hand me that Nader-as-spoiler crap either."
I'm breathing deep and just stepping away from the entire conversation before I lose my shit and forget that, after all, this is the guy who, when I was stranded in San Francisco on a rainy night in the middle of moving, drove across two cities to pull my clothes (and Hec's, and Emmett's) out of a laundromat dryer in Berkeley, took it all home, and folded it (he said at the time, "I got worried and thought maybe I'd grabbed the wrong stuff when I saw the little boy clothes, but then I saw the large man's shirt with Flannery O'Connor on it and I knew it was fine; of
course
you'd marry a man who owned a Flannery O'Connor t-shirt.").

he has redeemed himself a little bit in my eyes with this
JZ, that so sounds like my GOP brothers, only I'm sure they're happy enough with McCain that there's no way they'd vote for either of the Democratic options. But obnoxious political opinions combined with "would move heaven and earth for a friend in trouble," check.
I am sad that no one answered my belt question. Maybe we should have a fashion thread.
shrift, I may have accidentally written Torchwood/Life porn that I just e-mailed you.
Please please tell me this is going to be posted somewhere.
I couldn't answer your belt question. I have one big wide belt that I love and use as much as I can, but even so I'm probably much more conservative than you are. I'd never wear it over a jacket, or slung down over my hips or jauntily askew or any of the millions of other ways I see everyone who isn't me wearing theirs. And mine is just a regular belt with a buckle, not an obi that ties.
If anyone else has a considered opinion to offer, though, I'm totally taking notes, because your obi belt is way cooler than my buckle belt.
JZ, I wondered if the Georgiana you were talking about was the one from the portrait with her daughter. I remember first seeing that painting (an illustration in a book) years ago and loving it - such a happy picture!
My plans are the weekend are driving an hour for a biscuit with megan (oh, and to see my friend, I suppose, but mostly the biscuits.) And I just discovered that Monday is my day off! I feel like I have gained time. Whee!

goes back, finds ita's belt question
So, what about tying it like the picture on the link you gave shows? If the front ties are long enough, I would tie it in a bow, but I like bows.
Maybe we should have a fashion thread.
Second!
Thirded! (What. Don't look surprised.)
