His intonation was *perfect.* I wish he could be more like that in speeches. I mean, I get that it wouldn't fly, but still.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm still waiting for Hec's expression of joy at that haircut.
Supercute! Nice eyebrows too. A little heavy but I like that look. (Hence the Elizabeth Taylor love.)
Speaking of...I'm due tomorrow. Need to find something a little more trendy than what I've got now.
Have you seen Michelle Williams new haircut?

Probably familiar to many Buffistas...but if you haven't, watch some of those Youtube vids. "Machine with Oil" is almost...NSFW.

Hec! I was thinking about you last night--one of the local PBS stations is rerunning Ken Burns' Jazz miniseries, and they had on the eps covering the 1920s on Sunday. I was watching them off my dvr last night, and I saw some silent footage of a dance, with a closeup of one woman with a stunningly beautiful short bob with a very slight Marcel wave to it that just knocked my socks off. Even though the footage was, of course, B&W, it looked like she might have been a redhead from the different tone of dark grey her hair was compared to the other dancers.

I never get tired of Jazz babies, Kathy.
JZ's hair is currently a short bob with short bangs.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going back a little...Dana, I'm aware of that journal article. In fact, the author did a presentation based on her research(with music to accompany it) at Balticon this past May.

Awesome. TWC is part of the Organization for Transformative Works (aka "Fuck you, writing and vidding and art and filking are totally legitimate activities"), so it's cool that it's getting such a variety of articles.

I just found the Jazz doc on YouTube in 10-minute segments--I'll go through them tonight and see if I can find that woman for you.
I don't know what it was about her hairdo that stood out over all the other bobs on screen, but she looked smashing in it.

“Not dead yet!”
Am I terrible for mocking the couple I'm currently watching on House Hunters? They're searching on the Oregon coast and Miss Thing is all "I want sustainable, I want green, I want natural!" and yet she's sporting these enormous acrylics?
