an eye wateringly clashing palette of red, white and black.

No! There are no eye wateringly clashing palettes of red, white, and black. They're, like, cosmically coordinated.

Right? The entire White Stripes aesthetic is based upon the rightness of red, white and black. People that don't like that are wrong.

I can't remember Clueless. I saw it years ago, once, but it was never one of *my* movies. I know it has a cult following, though.

I guess I'm not a woman, then, having never learned how to dress in order to symbolically allude to the arrival of the menstrual cycle.

Black underwear.

If white is the dominant color, with black and red accents, it sometimes comes across very '80s to me, though.

Surely you don't mean to imply something wrong with mythe 80s????

Then again, I was kinda suckered in by the Cher aesthetic...

Possibly they meant the red white & black clashed with the mustard?

The "alluding to the menstrual cycle" comment is worse in context, though.

Thankfully I do dress in the black, gray and striped realm. It let me live for three weeks out of four day's worth of clothes.

And I love Clueless.

My signature is anal retentively neat.

PS: I am home, and going to BED. Ugh. What an awful day.

Estate contention over the family death last week. Second death of an older couple (two generations older than us), each had children from earlier marriages but not from this one...wills are being ignored, and shit is being flung.

Uck.

My sister had to fill out a form that asked her how she felt about a statement describing her as many things--one was how perfectionsitic she was. So, she does as many sane people do--correct the statement, note the error, and cheerfully give herself full points. Difference between us two? I's have chosen "somewhat disagree".
