I'm glad you went to see -t, Perkins.
WTF, pissing on romance?? Is that what the cool kids do? Nothing like fans of one ghettoised genre pissing on another.
What are you reading? I could enjoy getting a good mad on tonight.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, Trudy, I was laughing even if I felt like I shouldn't be.
No doubt.
Of course turtlenecks can be sexy!
Seriously. Like, seriously.

Is this about the woman fired from Citibank?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IO9.com. Some people are being pissy and clueless in an entry on a fantasy romance book. Which, of course, is about something else, so it's not really romance.
Is this about the woman fired from Citibank?
Yeah. I have no particular opinion about whether or not she was appropriate, because I really don't know how she was dressed (but her lawyer's photo shoot was a bad idea), but defending her on the premise that turtleneck's are unsexy? Dude, I was work-appropriate, but I know that the sexiest thing I wore this week was the red silk-knit turtleneck on Tuesday, with the pencil skirt. And I'm no Jayne Mansfield. That's some sexy sweatering.

I would totally freak if I ever met Joan Baez. Or Bonnie Raitt. Jane Fonda but to a lesser degree.
Ha! That was so totally my exact list of freaktitude when I was 17. I did not manage to make a fool of myself around them when I finally met them (separately).

OK, now i totally need a link on sexy lawyer lady...
Also, suggestions for cupcake flavors! Apparently I am in charge of making cupcakes for my dad's 70th birthday party on Saturday night. My sister has done a CRAPTON of work for this, she's been awesome, and so I'd like to at least come up with some yummy flavors. My ideal plan would be to make a couple batches of basic batter (like, one of chocolate and one of vanilla) and the separate them out into a few bowls and doctor them (ie, chocolate-mint, chocolate-espresso, vanilla-coconut, vanilla-lime). And then make various frosting flavors. SO, suggestions from Buffistas on yummy cupcake flavors and frostings?
(Because I love it, several of the frostings will probably involve cream cheese, and the rest will be buttercream)

meara, mojito cupcakes are awesome -- lime, rum, mint with a buttercream frosting that has a little bit of brown sugar. NOM NOM NOM. [link]
Another fave of ours is brown sugar cupcakes: [link]

Spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! Lemon with a glaze! German chocolate with that coconut stuff.
I am not very fancy with my cupcake love.

Dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting. Ganache! Frosting of the gods! To hell with buttercream and cream cheese frosting.
