A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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

This would almost peg the Bridezilla-meter, huh?

But for every accommodating pal, there’s another who feels going under the knife is beyond the duty of bridesmaid. Becky Lee, 39, a Manhattan photographer, declined when a friend asked her — and five other attendants — to have their breasts enhanced. “We’re all Asian and didn’t have a whole lot of cleavage, and she found a doctor in L.A. who was willing to do four for the price of two,” said Ms. Lee, who wore a push-up bra instead.

“Not dead yet!”

My dinner just lurched uncomfortably. I'd drop kick anyone who told me I'd have to have cosmetic procedures in order to be in a bridal party.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Barb has said exactly what I was thinking about the cosmetic requirements for a bridal party.

Trust my rage

Have been meaning to ask this forever...

JZ and Cash - do either of you need any little girl clothes? What sizes? I'm getting rid of what I can but would rather share with friends before I pass to Good will.

Any other little buffista baby girls under 3? (I don't think so but I"m just checking)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Stephanie, Liv's in 2Ts for the most part but will be heading towards 3Ts by fall. We'd love anything you send. We're currently enjoying Emeline's adorable summer wardrobe.

Our wings are not tired.

I'll be honest.

I wish I had reason to be the recipient of Buffista-hand-me-downs. :(

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Matilda's been in 12-18 months forever but is slowly, slowly edging up into 18-24 and the smaller 2Ts. More or less. Apparently baby and toddler clothing is just as crazy and random with the sizing as adult--she still has a couple of 6-9 month jackets and onesies that fit. We'd be delighted to take anything too small for Liv.

Where does the NYT find these people? The Style section is always crammed full of one article after another about them, although they resemble the actual humans I know in almost no way at all (they're bipedal, so I guess there's that).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well why not...what could you use some of?

- kitchen stuff, scarves, winter gloves, purses, hair accessories, books,

Let's organize a big swap-a-roo!

“Not dead yet!”

JZ, I'll check through the many boxes and see if I have anything of Abby's I can bring you for Matilda.

My baby girl is TEN! And has a very definite dress sense these days.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Swap a roo sounds fun!

I have discovered a young man at work who reads the same kind of old detective novels as I do, and I have been reading them on the bus and then giving them to him. It is really great because it is helping me declutter, and it helps to find someone who enjoys Rex Stout and John Dickson Carr etc as I do.
