"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Marilyn Manson was when she came to my attention, and I saw her and went, Wow! So then I noticed when she popped up again, which was pretty frequent from that point.

I mean, I think there's a celebrity element that happens or doesn't happen for people. And burlesque doesn't lend itself well to mainstream attention, in general, I don't think, so her getting through that let her build her brand, after the public had to deal with who she already was.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMGWORK. Why did I ever come back from vacation, I ask you.

I swear it's like Monday planned a fucking surprise party for me today.

Please continue with the DVT talk. It's wonderfully distracting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

WHERE IS MY MASSAGE GIRL?

I mean, I admit I work out of my house, and if a massage girl showed up in the middle of a fucking snowstorm I'd be very startled indeed. But I'd still TAKE THE MASSAGE!

Totally. It's also payday, Supernatural day, and I'm treating myself to breakfast-for-lunch at the coffee shop across the street. WINNING.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

SO the coughing has lessened, but now I am all congested and blowing my nose like every 10 minutes. I sound like swollen head girl with a cold and will still have a coughing fit if I walk around much. I need to be at work today though, so I am here. bleargh.

Maybe I can get all important work done by the time my big boss get here at lunch and he will tell me to go home.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm just wondering what her smart decision was.

Have you read her book? She's really a student of the era and the original dancers, has recreated famous choreography and looks. I don't think it's just one decision but her approach has been so thorough. And she's particularly beautiful, and she's been very canny with her marketing. She didn't just marry Marilyn Manson; she did a porn movie with Andrew Blake (the classy porn director!) fairly early in her career.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least you sound sick, instead of just feeling sick? (I am a firm believer in sympathy.)

Ooh, Amy, I wish we had chair massages here. There's a department that does them occasionally, but I don't get invited for that....

I am vaguely out-of-sorts, maybe nauseous, but not quite. I hope that doesn't mean I'm about to be sick. It does mean I can't think of what to have for lunch.
