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.

Thank doG the insomnia fairy decided to take a break last night. Three bad nights in a row were bad enough; I was starting to lose my shit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love this gawker article about men's fashion rules. There are some adamant fucks commenting on it (oh, surprise), but I agree with most of them that the main thesis is flawed--the men in the picture aren't wearing sport coats, so HamNo has not illustrated his point. Also their shoes are wrong too.

BUT, and this is a big surprise to me--more than one person states strongly that men shouldn't wear black shoes (or belt) with blue jeans. I had never even heard of that. Is that supposed to extend to extremely rule-following women as well?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, Consuela, This is the kind of taking-care-of-your-parents shit no one needs.

I hope not, as I have black shoes and sneakers, and I'm not gonna wear sneakers with my jeans all the time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

That's news to me, ita. The only rule I have with blue jeans is, don't wear a shirt of the same color.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have no rules whatsoever for blue jeans. Except not taking them off in public.

As in denim, or the same shade in any fabric?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I decided to take half a sick day when I started feeling bad at the office, so now I am home watching TV. Yay.

I was blissfully unaware of any shoe/blue jeans rules. Jeans go with everything!

Basically my feeling.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm pretty sure Clinton and Stacy would classify jeans as a neutral.

I can't decide if I'm sick or just sleep-deprived.
