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.)

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

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?

hi the aqua will ship around the 1st of Sept. The dots will ship tomorrow Thanks again-Angela

Gotta love the service. :-)

Color? Is black a color?

I hope so, as is dominates my wardrobe

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.

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

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?

OK, kind Buffistas. When I'll once again visit US, remind me to go and check that store, because looking at the dresses making my mouth watering, K?

(I have to say that the dress I recently got is somewhat along the lines of it. Not all things (the straps, for instance, and the part where it goes wider is a little bit higher than the waist), but it resembles some of the features).

Dude. They just let Remington Steele get away with making a profit at car theft. Bad Steele.

I love getting to watch every single episode of various series. Especially this much later on. It was fun the first time round, casually, but now it's all "Hey! It's Buffy's mother!" Why do they kiss with more tongue in the 60s than the 80s? Oh, right.

Long sleeves are so early 20th century, ita.

If I were a little more obsessive I'd take pics of the ones this character from Foyle's War V wore this week. Beautiful variation: one sheer and blousey, another almost jacket weight...crave crave crave.

The obi dress is beautiful. But alas, I'm cheap.

You don't have to be cheap to not want to drop $330 on a dress that's not even fancy fancy. Or did I just wake up cheap too?

Hmm. Now I want a web site that details the "rules" for what constitutes black tie, casual, white tie, etc. I iz a little sad at the blurring of the lines, even if it means it comes with more freedom.

Which reminds me I haven't worn a corset to work recently.
