Filene's??? I thought they were gobbled up by Macy's. Or is it that Filene's Basement mini-chain thing?
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've done a bit of writing on it, though...mostly from the perspective of experiencing an easier time getting public assistance because I'm white and well-spoken. It bothers me tremendously and makes me want to advocate for those who don't have those qualities (I'm not sure what else to call them; that may not be the best word).
Advantages?

If I had time, I'd swing by. But, the Fates have spoken, because I have to pick my mother up from her pedicure at the Elizabeth Arden across the street from the Nordstrom's with my $60 bra.

Mostly lurking...
Advantages?
Duh. Yes. And, in disturbing news, that's the word used by my prof this morning. Fortunately, we've worked through it, and he no longer thinks I'm trying to ask for advantages over the other students. Ugh, though.
ION, no work school tomorrow! SNOW DAY!

Besides, the one on Connecticut Avenue may still have lingering pepper spray issues ....
(for those not in DC, over the weekend they had to evacuate the store because something - pepper spray, last I heard - had been released into the air and people were coughing, their eyes watering, etc. ended up with a bunch of emergency vehicles blocking the entire street, one person went to the hospital - more for safety's sake than actual injury, released that day. they did get evacuated to the Mayflower Hotel, which is quote posh.)

There was never anything as good as Headless Body Found in Topless Bar, but what really is?
Still the champ, though I'm fond of the local Tsunami Corpse Lagoon! which went on in great detail describing the giant salt water crocodiles who went to buffet on human remains after a tsunami tragedy in Indonesia.

Sounds like they have a problem with the ventilation system.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
TralalalaLAAAA! Today I purchased several nice bras (this is an annual event, people - in Thailand, boobs do not happen in Fay Size, apparently, so I cannot buy bras until I come home) and a gorgeous skirt which was all the more gorgeous because it was reduced to £16 instead of £35.
I looked up Hamsa. I find it interesting that both Islamic & Jewish traditions share it.
Huh! Yeah, I looked it up too, and was gobsmacked to see that it's the symbol I know as the Hand of Fatima! Don't know what I was expecting, but that wasn't it.
...on a vaguely related note, I nearly posted about something yesterday, and then worried that it was going to offend people and didn't; specifically I was concerned that it might seem to be a disparagement of Shir's sister, and that isn't my intention at all. I'm very glad that I have not found myself in a position of having to make such a decision myself. I honestly don't know which way I'd jump, if I were in the position of having to join the army. I certainly understand the impulse to help protect one's friends and family, and that's a noble and honourable wish.
That said, when I randomly heard about the existence of the Shministim yesterday, it made me feel hopeful about humans. After some consideration, I'm sharing the link here.
