Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

I think this is universal.

Except Italian tourist to Prague. I remember loudly colored tracksuits and backpacks.

Of course, that may have been fashion-forward at the time, but it was ugly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd live in generic solid color tees and jeans or shorts

When my parents were getting ready to go to Kennebunkport last summer, my mother was saying my father needed to bring nicer stuff, and I basically said, "I hope what I'm wearing right now is OK, because this is what I will look like for the next three days."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen just took a pair of white, knee-length, lace-edged bloomers off of one of Olivia's dolls and is wearing them around the house.

I should really take a picture. They're adorable.

Cash, I love trotting out the pix of my little brother wearing adult galoshes coming above his knees and a straw hat. And nothing else. TAKE THE PICTURE. For Olivia, if no one else.

(of course, I also have a picture of him wearing gold lame boxers tucked up high, rabbit ears on his head, squatted over a plastic egg, carting a easter egg basket. When he was 25. So. Not to mention the budlight box headgear a few years earlier. So.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

looks down at self...

Um, yep. This summer, I've been totally slack on what I wear. T-shirt and shorts/capris. At least when I go out with friends, I try to dress a bit cuter.

I should really take a picture.

Um, yes, yes you should. And where is your Flip?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Color? Is black a color?

I hope so, as is dominates my wardrobe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is the season of Remington Steele where Pierce comes to the front of the stage. I wonder how Ms Zimbalist felt about that.

Okay, that's how they can sell the Trixies for $34. The Obi dress goes for $300+. Right now Masterpiece Mystery is set in the UK in WW II, and it's just drool city. So Trashy Diva's not helping. But they are out of my current allowance, because I have too many pieces of clothes I can't work out how exactly to wear. Even though I've worn them plenty times before.

I do love the bodice on Trixie, though, and it shows so well on the polka dot one. But XS is the bottom of my size range, and if I ever lift a kettlebell again, I'll not be able to wear it.

I'd totally buy this, but just stare at it. I'm so blue underdeveloped.

Shame they have no long sleeved blouses.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Long sleeves are so early 20th century, ita. The obi dress is beautiful. But alas, I'm cheap.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey ita, I've seen a number of blogs discuss this knife: [link]

The "WASP Injector Knife" secrets a CO2 canister in the handle which, when a small button on the hilt is triggered, injects a blast of 850psi gas through a channel in the knife's blade, inflating the target with a painful and debilitating pocket of gaseous pain. It's being marketed towards scuba divers, although I'd be too terrified of accidental discharge to carry it myself, let alone try to get into a cutting match with a shark.

The rapidly expanding gas is supposed to freeze internal organs. Ouch!

Does this sound feasible (eta: as a weapon when fighting a human) to you?
