Check out this collection of vintage cheongsams (aka, qipao).
Perusing these, I realize that I'm mentally imagining each of them on Aimee. If Aimee doesn't have a cheongsam, she probably should.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Dang. Yet another cool exhibit I was not able to see before moving.

That exhibit was in Hong Kong. So save your remorse for some other cool Bay Area thing.
Oooh, but Check these out. Original Billboard reviews of SF's Chinese niteclubs in the 40s. You'll love the descriptions of the various acts.

Oh, I saw the ad from the side for the Shanghai exhibit at Asian Art Museum and assumed it was about that (that exhibit did have qipao...in fact it had a whole night dedicated to them with a lecture by Trina Robbins on Forbidden City SF and some dancers who'd worked at Forbidden City).

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I was ruthless when I moved recently, because I didn't have a moving van and I was under a huge time restraint -- to the point when I saw people going through the dumpster, I would stick my head out and ask them what they were looking for, and did they also want a ____?
Most of the clutter around here is ex-stuff, D's pile o' tech stuff and toys.

This weekend I am ruthlessly murdering clutter and old paperwork. I'm being draconian in stomping on sentimentality. This has needed to happen for a very long time.

I am just in from the Great British Beer Festival. Between us I think we tried about twenty five beers.
I hope everyone else's days have been filled with beer and pies.

Ooh pie.
Jars just made me want a pasty. Stoopid London, not being within walking distance.

I'm being draconian in stomping on sentimentality.
My new cleaning phrase is "keeping [x] would put the "mental" in "sentimental."
I am also spending the weekend shoveling crap out of my office so it can get drywalled and painted. Too Much Stuff.
