Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would be so overdressed!
No, he would be underdressed.
Man, I missed that about being in University. We were such obnoxious dressers. We'd team-overdress at the drop of a hat.
Now I have to do 50s-fu all by myself.
But it`s not exactly a look dressed to seduce, what with the whole cargo pants and band t-shirts thing going, so maybe I needn`t be fussed.
I vote we not fuss. Other people can be so tiresome. Maybe I'll re-evaluate when I'm 45. Or 50.
I just feel so bad for her, because she seems so sure that her faith will make her sister better, and it seems like a terrible burden to have if her sister dies-- that maybe if she was more faithful, her sister would have lived.
Oh yeah, that is awful. And wrong-headed in a way that's not useful.
No, he would be underdressed.
I would also be overdressed for the setting. I may still wear a dress, but not that one.
New $100 Bill Looks Like Something Straight Out of Hogwarts
The familiar pictures of Founding Father Ben Franklin is still there, but there are a lot of new high-tech features being put in the new $100 bill, including a moving microprint that "looks like something straight out of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry":
The blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the new $100 note contains images of bells and 100s that move and change from one to the other as you tilt the note. The Bell in the Inkwell on the front of the note is another new security feature. The bell changes color from copper to green when the note is tilted, an effect that makes it seem to appear and disappear within the copper inkwell.
I would also be overdressed for the setting.
Eff the setting, IJS.
I love team overdressing! I went to rock shows in full formal-wear not once but twice! Love. I never pull stuff like that now. I have become old and stodgy.
Hee! I should not have made such a blanket statement - I know better!!
I have a very rounded-out behind. The Trixie dress is very unflattering to my behind because the waist hits at just the wrong place on my lower back/ass-shelf. Which pulls the back of the dress up and creates an odd, reversed asymmetrical hemline on me that a-line skirts don't do for some reason. I worry the Peterman dress will do the same now cause it looks like the waist would hit in the same way.
Yeah, it sounds like maintaining that insurance may need to be high on your priority list, possibly above school.
I'm thinking I need to send in the check for next month. I have a roof and clothes and I think my sister would feed me if I really couldn't afford to pay. I'm worried about the credit card bills and car insurance more. I can cover for a month but after June I won't have the COBRA anymore. I could just kick myself for not finding temp or part-time work while I had it!
I want this dress for my May NYC trip.
I do not want my current ass. So I'm trying to make a deal with myself that if I lose weight in the next five weeks, I'll treat myself.
When I was in college several of us would, on occasion, dress for dinner. Long dresses for the girls, some of the boys had gone to a local thrift shop and gotten tuxedo jackets ... which did lose something worn with jeans. One had bought a tail coat which, with jeans and boots, left him looking rather like a ringmaster. We'd get together, have sherry before dinner, then go to the dining hall for dinner.
Certainly made food service dinners more palatable.
