Ditto, Kat.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Plei!
Good lord, Sophia -- that's a heck of a favor to ask. I do love that you started posting about 1920s costumes and then all of a sudden a bunch of them were robots. Hee.
Also good lord, Consuela -- I hope they can settle into a routine with the extra help, because that sounds like a brilliant combination of skills and I might like to hire her just for me. I know for my father, unknown future things can be unsettling, but most things in front of him are OK.
I'm thinking linen blouse, wear shorts to the zoo, put on a skirt for the dinner? Go business skirt (knee-lenth suit-style) or long linen skirt?
flea, I'd be worried about wearing linen all day before you want to look nice, due to the wrinkling. For the long interview part, I don't think you need to worry that much about looking too wintry, if they are conservative -- a dark suit is usually wintry-looking and always appropriate as a conservative interview outfit.

Holy crap:
Frankel won by MANY LENGTHS at Royal Ascot.
I wonder how many women were forced to wear the provided hats because they ignored the No Fascinator rule.

I don't know if we have any UVA buffistas, but damn the situation there is fucked up.

Because books.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy Birthday, Plei!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We have alums, and Zenkitty is in Cville, but I can't think of anyone currently at the U. I can't believe I was up half the night watching the twitter stream of people not seeing a meeting let out!
