Shir, it's a color scheme for figuring out what colors best suit you based on skin, hair and eyes (but mostly on skin's undertone). It was very popular with every mother I knew in the 1980's.

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

I recall gossip at the time that she wasn't thrilled -- I think that almost from the start he got all the buzz.

I would buy a Trixie dress except I just bought a J. Peterman dress that was on sale that I also don't fit in. Yet! She said, fiercely. I can put it on, technically, but only just.

My plan was that this would be The Year Of Not Sucking, to make up for 2007. And it isn't sucking, but I need to literally and metaphorically get off my ass because at this point the thing keeping me in suckville is me. I suppose that getting a decent amount of sleep would probably be helpful, so I'll go do that.

...But I don't wanna. That's where the plan falls apart.

Huh. I just went to the site and it says I get icy pastels too. Off the hook for tomorrow's outfit. I can sleep easy now.

I think that almost from the start he got all the buzz.

They were doing an impressive job of balancing it in screentime (he's just so damned pretty...) but I think we're at S3 or S4 and he gets to start things off more often than not, whereas it used to be her or them both together.

That's where the plan falls apart.

Make it that you either sleep or do something productive. Win/win.

Okay, I gotta sleep then.

Allyson, buy it and get a wrap for your arms.

I love the dresses on that site, but the silhouettes are not right for me and they don't come in my size. That's okay, I can look at pictures of y'all when you get your dresses and let us see how they look on you. (hint hint)

I wonder if I could knit a kilt? Most knitted skirts don't work well, but a kilt has enough structure to it that it might actually work well....

Thanks javachik; according to the link, I'm winter.

When I was younger (late teens, early twenties) I looked best in Winter colors. When I hit my late twenties, the blue-reds that looked so good on me when I was younger started making me look like total ass. I still wear a lot of black, but other than that, I wear Autumn colors.

Has anyone else ever had something like that happen to them?

Poking head to vibe Mr. flea.

(Is his dissertation defense taking place on 9 board time? Or are you guys on some other timezone?)

(Also, is it crazy meMeME that I choose to see my computer's latest lack of cooperation - I may need to write a couple dozen pages almost-from-scratch, and the deadline is *next week* - as a sign that all the dissertation~ma I've got is indeed crossing the ocean as I type, and once Mr. flea becomes easily and in-flying-colors-ly Dr. flea, my~ma may hurry back and my computer starts cooperating again? Because that will be great.)

But this post is not about me! Go fleas! Have fun storming defending the dissertation-castle!

9 Eastern, so 6 am board time.

I think if (after this morning) we all focussed our dissertation ~ma at Nilly, she could finish in mere days!
