Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow. I wonder how TJX is doing. It just seems like a discount store would be doing relatively better in this economy.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I heard about that, Shir. It's not good.
Steph, most of what you need is probably at the launch pad. It'll take some getting used to, but I think overall it'll be a win.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh man, Filene's is closing? I better go stock up on bras.
So I mentioned this on LJ/DW, but I wanted to share here. I met a guy at a vintage store in Baltimore last Saturday, and he asked for my number. (which NEVER HAPPENS.) We went out Thursday and had a really nice time. Then on Sunday, I was at the flea market all day and was texting back and forth with him, and I mentioned that my feet were cold because I'd worn inadequate shoes. Well, about an hour before the market ended he showed up out of the blue with flowers and socks. It was really adorable. We're going out again on Saturday.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Holli, how sweet! Sounds like a lovely guy.

Sandra Bullock's Baby Gets a Warhol: Actress Sandra Bullock's agents bought Andy Warhol's "Peaches" print at a charity auction for $14,000 last week as a gift for the actress's one-year-old son, Louis. "I want to thank Kevin Huvane and Bryan Lourd for not being cheap fucks and gifting my son with his first Warhol," said Bullock at the event, which raised money for Elizabeth Taylor's AIDS research organization amFar. It’s never too early to start collecting? [Us Weekly]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Then on Sunday, I was at the flea market all day and was texting back and forth with him, and I mentioned that my feet were cold because I'd worn inadequate shoes.
What is it with you and footwear?
Well, about an hour before the market ended he showed up out of the blue with flowers and socks. It was really adorable. We're going out again on Saturday.
You know, that kind of thoughtfulness is how sj wound up with Teacup Guy. Good job Mr. Flowersocks.
