Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

Our "tech support" is in today and - finally - re-enabled the spam filter. We're still being buried in the stuff, but at least some of it is getting separated from the real mail. yay?

So, my beloved navy flats have given up the ghost. I go to the Nordstrom site to look at shoes, select the "wear to work" option, and the first shoe pictured is this: [link]

I don't know about you, but a 3 1/2 inch heel patent leather red sandal does not strike me as "wear to work". Unless you work at Cosmo or Playboy. WTF? (it even appears when I click on the subcategory "classic") Am I turning into a fuddy duddy?

This is apparently the new thing. I see it all over the place these days. @@

Vortex, do they have a category of "wear to work in the real world"?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The shoes I'm wearing today are completely not "wear to work" shoes, but yet, here I am. Black high heeled sandles with just a toe strap and an ankle strap. Was feeling sassy when I got dressed at o'dark thirty this morning.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I got tapped for wearing these to work on Monday:

"Got tapped" = in trouble?

Happy birthday ND!

Love the hair (and the pretty), Tep!

So, last night I did the taxes. We owe $800. We don't even break $60K between us. How do we owe!?!

not your mom's socks.

verbally - as in "mmm. isn't it a little cool yet for those?" (someone else asked how one wears hose with peep-toes. I don't own hose. Tights? yes. Hose? nsm, except for a pair to wear to church w/my mom that are ancient and currently hiding. I figured the pants were drilled down enough, I was ok to let loose with the shoes - especially since many people I work with go with flip-flops sometimes (which I had with me, in my bag, and I wore them home from 30th street because, seriously? those heels were never meant to commute.). but I liked them. they were fun.
