re: theatre performances with no way to leave? Oh, I'd find a way to leave if I needed to. If you think you have to keep your audience captive, you're on very shaky footing. The middle-aged female bladder knows no social constraint.

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.

Because books.
I'm also surprised that the discussion hasn't gotten around to "You Light Up My Life," which is too schlock even for me.
Oh, good god. That was a terrible time to be alive.
Maybe it's the difference between faux urbane and faux country?
Personally, I think it's just that Dolly seems like a sweetheart, and Joan Rivers like a bitter old bitch who's not as funny as she thinks she is.

Maria! That's excellent! Congratulations! (Now you can move to PA, right? Right?!)

Dolly got my everlasting admiration when she joked(?) about coming in third in a drag queen competition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Maria! Congrats!
I agree with you, Amy.
Also, now I have Good Vibrations in my head (the Marky Mark one, not the Beach Boys one) thanks to this: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
,I feel we need to move to the late eighties/early nineties and address "My Perogative".
FUCK NO. That song is golden and necessary. Before R&B/hip hop became bullshit and was fun. It's a little bit marred by the way me and K mutter the line "All these strange relationships really get me down", considering she tried to talk me into being poly (i.e. she wanted to sleep with my boyfriend) and when I shut her down she actually followed him out of town to sleep with him as soon as his car stopped in the next city of his cross-country tour. No, honey. You don't even get to sing the same line of the song as me. I'm setting clearer boundaries now.
I came into work but all I want to do is cry. I came off a shoulder pain med and now I'm sleeping in two hour increments since Sunday, and I'm not coping. But I have an unmissable meeting today (1/2 yr review, which will suck, so I have to make sure I don't cry) and another tomorrow.
Yay, Maria!

Oh yeah, I meant to speak to My Prerogative as well.
