Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

pssst, WindSparrow's gone to town, pass it on

Huh. Apparently I'm not napping. I'm snuggling Harvey and paying attentiong to the bits of my face which are easing out of the novacaine. My chin, for instance feels very odd. From inside, it feels like pins and needles, but when I touch it with my fingers I feel nothing. Which then m akes me wonder if my fingers are numb.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've read things that say "Sometimes," Connie, but I'm not sure how true to that actual time-frame that was.

My guess, and I don't have anything to hand to back it up (though, just on general principles, I recommend Stephanie Koontz's The Way We Never Were) -- there were so many Rosie the Riveters that you could probably find plenty of examples of whatever attitude you wanted to find.

And while I don't have any evidence of this either, I suspect there may be something of that dynamic in today's generation gap. I imagine that, if you went to a typical college campus, say, you could find a number of women working for political causes (including, but not limited to, feminism), a number of women interested mainly in the next sorority party (or, to borrow Tep's phrase, a "$100 leg wax"), and a number in between or maybe even on another axis altogether.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I mentioned this on facebook, but I thought some people here might be interested too. Coldwater Creek is having a 75% off everything sale online with the coupon code WHH9159.

It runs only through today, though, so shop quickly!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks for adding that, Teppy. I missed that part.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks to sj and Tep, I have scored a pair of jeans and a pair of cords for $40. Sweet! I've been bemoaning my lack of jeans that fit for a couple of weeks, at least.

I haven't looked at the Coldwater Creek site yet: do they have any quasi-Victorian blouses on sale? That's really the only thing I'm searching for at the moment that isn't ridiculously specific.

So pretty. Wish I had an excuse for owning more blouses, I tell you what.

Hmmm, not quite what I'm looking for, drat! But thank you for searching them out.

(Wait, did I ever thank you for the super-cute notepad and tray? I didn't, did I? Thank you, -t!)
