Completely shallow fashion note (but if it doesn't belong in Bitches, I don't know where it could possibly go): I've never cared much one way or the other about Donna Karan, but the Fall 2012 collection that TLo just posted is making me whimper with longing. I'm pretty sure a lot of the looks are, if not positively Jilliesque, at least Jilli-adjacent (in a very, very urban high couture way, but still, Jilli-adjacent).
Those are gorgeous, but definitely not what I think of when I think of Donna Karan.

Aren't they, though?

Totally not, but in a completely amazing way.
Any house news?

No. Waiting for them to get back to us on whether or not they're willing to do the fixes we want done on the house before we buy it. And the owners work odd hours so it is wait wait wait right now.
On other news, I hear the Maryland House of Delegates has passed the same sex marriage bill. Now it has to get through the state senate.

Instead of Red and Blue states we're going to have Can Get Gay Married Here States, and Women Aren't Really People States.
I saw that. I've been avoiding FB (again) because one of my very dear friends and co-workers is being very active about trying to keep it from passing.
I've actually been sort of avoiding everything today. I'm wiped out from family stress and having too many jobs and don't-wanna-can't-make-me.

Which, not unrelatedly, leaves me both seeing RED and feeling blue.
In CT... and was greeted at the airport by my mom with the news that dad is in the hospital again! It should be just overnight while they transfuse him with 3 units of blood, but... sheesh. Glad I'm here for my mom though.
Also, flying out of nola with a hangover is super cloches and not as much fun as you might think.
Eta: aw, Bella!! I hope she is ok, poor princess.
Ack. Glad you decided to go.

I cannot figure out what might autocorrect to "super cloches."
And it's Xusha, not Bella, who hurt herself. Rotund old kitties shouldn't be jumping up and down from bookshelves.
So my disco nap turned into a two-hour snooze, and I'm not going to any parades tonight. Which sucks, because it's supposed to pour tomorrow. Oh well. Nora, do you think Tom would be interested in going to Chewbacchus with me?
Speaking of gothy anime, Jilli, have you seen Black Butler? Looks like it was designed specifically for you. It's full of revenge and fancy clothes!
Oh yes. I've seen the first season of the anime, and have the first four volumes of the manga. The Infamous BlueJay is trying to convince me to cosplay something from it.
That Donna Karan collection is very nice. It's got some good lines to it.
