You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those are so good. I do need to know for sure if Miss USA is supposed to be a Transformer, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Maybe she was supposed to be a car Transformer?

I'm on a slow connection today so I'll have to defer marvelling at the costumes. (Note to self: be grateful for ANY connection at all, given the remoteness of the house I'm catsitting in.)

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

I got sucked into this Tumblr rabbit hole yesterday and I still can't get out - Recycled Costumes.

It's not really surprising when you think about it (of COURSE studios have costume collections and of COURSE not every period TV show or movie makes everything new) but it's amazing to see how often some dresses are reused for multiple Queen Elizabeths or Jane Austen characters. And apparently nobody on the Tudors ever had a new outfit.

Just some promotion for the lasting goodness of the exchanges.

This morning getting ready I smiled at the Joy wooden ornament, the "The Nicest" embroidery, and the colored glass bottles on my dresser - then I put on stripy socks and had some hot choc. All items from past exchanges. There are a gagillion more examples in my home - treasured ornaments for my Christmas tree and special items on shelves and in drawers. Many many items have long since been devoured.

We are a special community and I think this exchange is a joy to participate in.
