Hec, that link is AWESOME! I love how the women are all wearing figure skates but don't lace the boots up all the way--they just tie 'em around the ankles. Derby boots are all low-top so you can get more maneuverability in your ankles. And no elbow pads, wrist guards or mouth guards! MEEP!
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
the Platonic ideal of eyebrows and then denying it to men.
Peter Gallagher is somewhere right now flipping the bird to the Platonic ideal of eyebrows.

Holy shit, this is just upstream from lisah& my's vet: [link]
I know they did a lot of reinforcement of the bank (the vet is right smack up against the Falls) but I hope they are ok. I've never seen the water that high. Usually it is a burbling stream way far below.

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

Did you see some of the images in the comments? Peter Gallagher might very well be waxing in comparison. His eyebrows are large, but they're cleanly defined. And there are two of them. See?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, there are a lot of days where I know I have done a lot of good for Dita in helping her get past the whole grew up feral so is afraid of everything deal.
Today is not one one of those days.

Lock her in the basement with the water and the scary shopvac, eh?

Let's just say we both now know she fits under the sofa.

Aw, poor girl.

not your mom's socks.
Poor Dita. Sarameg, thanks for posting that. We saw the falls jump its banks years ago, it was a total mess. I used to swim up there.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My old, dead skittish cat, Solomon, and my coward of today, Gimlet, were both well able to squeeze their bulk under my futon frame in about 1.5 seconds.
There was maybe 4 inches of room there and they would commando-crawl all the way to the back.
If I were ever Queen of the Universe, one of my tyrannical mandates would be eyebrow grooming for everyone. You can fuck or marry whomever you like, rule your own body, worship the living Avatar of Wjjklmjnbjy in a flagellary speaking Na'avi, but you will go to jail of your eyebrow hairs are long than 1/2 an inch.
Oh, and long ear and nose hair. I have a few simple rules for my world, but they will be absolute.
Also, all citizens will be require to pay me 1 cent a year, so I can have a nice bathtub and a hot tub and I get ARC's of all books the day they are available. Other than that, I will be a kindly ruler. Unless you piss me off.
Actually, for all my faults, I can think of worse people to give god-like powers to. OTOH, now that I've thought that, that immediately takes me to Defcon 2 of Evil Overlordship.
Le sigh. My dreams of demonic dictatorly dominion are dashed.
But I retain my ability to teach alliteration.
