Mmmmm. Only gonna get the ride back home, not there. I guess I'll take the dress with me and change there - getting looks on buses on my way there is the last thing my mood needs now.
So I guess it's a 60%-win. And yes, the dress is that worthy.

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.

-ma for you and Pico, Sue.

OMG so tired.
This. A friend came into town last night with her kids and they are still in Western Time Zone way so we were up late.
Thanks Perkins. ETA: And Sparky. The vet just called actually, and there was no pus, so now he's going to do xrays and see if there's a tumour. I am voting, "It's not a toomah."
Whites claiming Indian blood generally tend to reinforce mythical beliefs about Indians. All but one person I met who claimed Indian blood claimed it on their grandmother's side. I once did a projection backward and discovered that evidently most tribes were entirely female for the first three hundred years of white occupation. No one, it seemed, wanted to claim a male Indian as a forebear."
That cracks me up because my mom's best friend in school actually had a grandmother who lived on a reservation. Of course, since the one quote I recall from her was "I always regretted not becoming a whore," I'm guessing not so much an Indian princess.
Good luck, Pico.
Oh dear -- I have heard a family story that some ancestor was the first white man to marry an Indian woman, too. (Although no one thinks that makes us Native American, 15 generations later....) The Indian ancestry thing was an interesting part of the African American Lives show, too -- I don't think anyone who thought they had Indian heritage actually did, once they did the geneology and DNA testing.

The one small piece of...
An Act to Preserve Racial Integrity
For the purpose of this act, the term 'white person' shall apply only to the person who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than caucasian; but persons who have one-sixteenth or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other non-caucasic blood shall be deemed to be white persons.
It was on the books until Loving v. Virginia.
and so long as we're on the legal topics, in about six minutes, the Supremes should hand down the final opinions this term, including the DC handgun case, which was probably written by Scalia, so you can guess how that's going to come out.
Long distance Pico ~ma from here too.
