Have most people never heard of Armand Hammer?

As UnAmerican in residence, if I know it, Jesus fuck, everyone should--I knew there were at least three of them and a fuck of a fortune--enough to not mouth off stupid shit in public anyway, and enough to check the precise extent of the naming scheme. I am disappointed that he doesn't have a daughter named Armandine (or Armand--I'm down with that too) to be honest.

THE INTERNET PUTS FACTS AT OUR FINGERTIPS, but so many availed opportunities to talk rubbish anyway.

Someone also asked me why see The Heat if Sandra Bullock's character loosen's up and Melissa's gains more respect for authority. Well, I wouldn't bet on the latter, but even so, since when is there being information in the trailer a reason not to see it? Technically there's some crime to be solved, and he has no idea what that is, but the idea of getting a general emotional arc has ruined the movie for him.

Life must be boring to the omniscient / narrow-minded.

I just watched Varsity Blues--I feel a season or two of FNL prepped me adequately--and at least one guy is in both of them. I think it's great that the movie's hobbit moment belongs to the hugest guy on the cast. Especially since I think he should have died, really.

I had to resort to reading that aloud to get it. Sigh. Braindead.

I did not get it at all either. I was like 'Why, is Armand a funny name??"

Was that from Woman Within?

It is. It's the perfect light-denim-color light-weight-but-not-gauze cotton mid-calf full skirt. And it has pockets! And an elastic waist with a drawstring. One more broomstick skirt should set me for summer.

edit: And I got it in Petite, because it can be hard to find things for short *and* fat.

It took me FOREVER to figure out that FTW was For the Win and not some deliberate mixup of WTF, so I understand the feeling.

This reminds me of Adam Gopnik's story about IMing/texting with his son, and how for ages he thought LOL meant Lots of Love.

Mama Robin is sitting on her charges. Despite the flashlight shining on her. I'm gonna be waaaay too invested in these fledglings, I already know.

I've only bought a few things from them (a cotton nightshirt, a slinky black not-for-sleeping nightie, and yoga pants), so I wondered how their other clothing categories (skirts, tops) fared. Good to hear!

I've had no problem finding tops around here, but skirts that weren't obnoxiously tight around the hips have been a challenge. I'll be interested to see what their fall collection has.

When one is measuring for bra size, is it with or without a bra on? Because gravity is a bitch on a 40-year-old bustline (counting from when they "bloomed").

Best fitting bra on, is the advice I've gotten.

Or go to Nordstrom and have them do it. Victoria's Secret does it as well, but they probably don't do as good of a job.
