Hey, I think that was an actual warning on a Dark Angel story or something.

Cass might remember.

Gronk. Must feed Lillian and Paul and then SPRINT to Barnes and Noble.

In this span of time, I'm hoping to change clothes and drop 15lb excess pounds. And other things involving minor miracles.

You're feeding a telcom to a book chain? I can't keep up with the modern world.

Well, it seems only fair after letting Borders have T Mobile for supper.

Thanks for the book titles. Now I know who barb is . D?H knows her from LJ and has been talking about her books. We don't have them ... yet.

Fashion question -- want to wear a little strappy top. Is it better to wear a bra with similar weight straps that does not have as much support and the cup line shows under the top or a skin toned bra with wider straps that will show under the strappy top? I've watched too much Sex and the City, I don't know what the deal is with bra straps any more.

I've never seen SatC, but straps don't offend me. Guess it depends on where you are wearing the top. I tend to go for comfort.

eta: while I watched the hourglass waiting to post I noticed the shiny number!

Vortex, which bra makes the girls look better? If not, I'd probably lean toward the skin-toned bra, on the grounds that the most popular choice nowadays seems to be replacing regular straps with clear plastic ones, and the skin-toned is closer in spirit

What do people usually do? Totally casual or nicer?

As a court clerk, I saw everything from a somewhat cheap-looking white wedding dress, to leather miniskirts with t-shirts.

My sister bought a nice dress of the sort that could be Sunday-go-to-meetin' or perhaps not too starchy office wear, and her hubby wore a dress shirt and tie, IIRC.

It is my earnest belief that one's wedding clothes, like one's F2F Prom clothes, should make one feel happy, confident, and foamy.

Ugh. I am deep in the zone of I suck.

I'm looking at kids toy catalogs, trying to find a present for a friend having a baby. I'm noticing that a lot of the dolls come in a few different races -- basically the same doll, but there's a white version and a black version, and sometimes an Asian or a Hispanic version. However, with just about all of these, the white version has blond hair, and pretty much always has blue eyes. And thinking about the dolls I had as a kid, it's pretty much the same -- there were a few exceptions, but for the most part, white dolls had light hair and blue (or sometimes green or purple) eyes. Why is that? (Among the white Cabbage Patch Kids I had, there were a few with brown eyes, and one with light brown hair, but none with dark brown hair.)
