Anthropologie had an expensive and disappointing range of dresses. Modcloth was much more varied and interesting. But the description of the third dress now has me wondering--what if now is a good time to indulge my longtime craving for a cheongsam? I could even go all the way and find a Chinatown tailor and have it made to fit.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

Anyone have a quick easy method for roasting bell peppers? You know, for me, the cooking impaired.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's always a good time.
I like cheongsams. Or maybe I should say I like it when women wear them.

Polter, is there any development on the Indian vacation front?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Now is a great time for a custom-tailored cheongsam.

In the broiler is fastest - just do about 5-10 minutes per side until they're blackened all over. (On foil so you don't have to clean pepper juice off your broiler pan.) Then put them in a bowl & cover for a few minutes to let them soften and you can rinse the skins & seeds off under running water.

Oh, can you recommend a place?

Thank you, Jess!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My university just sent out a note that our healthcare premiums will be going up because of the new Healthcare Bill and because their goal was to make things more fair by only paying 80% of each person's plan, instead of covering a certain amount. I used to pay nothing! I am irritated. Also, I think the Healthcare bill is a BS reason.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
ita, that's what I did. I walked to SF Chinatown and asked a tailor there. It cost a pretty penny (probably not least of which was because I was fat and it would take a couple more yards of brocade), but it was great.
Of course, then I lost weight and kept it off for 3 years so I ended up giving it to a friend of mine who had it tailored to fit her.
Then I gained all that weight back and then some. *sigh*
