Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Cool pictures of models, actresses, etc. from the '60s: Lovely Ladies of Yesteryear, Part 2
Is there a word like 'phallic' that applies to representations of the balls as well? [link] Also, I think when I was really young I must have had a crush on Hayley Mills: [link]
And what was this '60s trend for women to go floating about in the air encases in big transparent spheres?
Holy shit, Sara. That's so fucked up.
Sadly, it is really common (well, the kidnapping) down in Juarez these days. It's a bit of an industry. Oh & it is pointless to go to the police down there.
My dad says they are actively discouraging people from crossing into Mexico these days. Which is scary considering how high schoolers in my area regularly went down to Juarez to drink.
Well, we'll send the ma~~ her way Sara.
I have returned from Michigan. It snowed 14 inches, I had to try on bridesmaids dresses, my mother made me listen to the new Celine Dion, and on the way back, my train was delayed in Indiana for over an hour and I was stuck in the vicinity of someone who was, shall we say, having some smelly gastrointestinal problems.
On the brighter side, I ordered a dress, ate tons of good food, got presents, and I'm going to be an aunt this fall. (I should probably clarify that the pregnant sibling is the one who is already married.)
Jesus, Sara, that's so freaky. Best wishes for her.
Oh, poor girl! I am glad she is here and will get help.
The sad fact is I'm only surprised it hasn't touched my family's orbit sooner. It's one of those under-reported things on the border. All those mass graves that are making the national news now? Yeah, it's old news to border dwellers.
shrift, is that the color too? In any case, a reasonable bridesmaid dress.
ION, TJ's gorgonzola and walnut stuffed ravioli: thumbs up.
