Why does my mother think that "Too much going on. I don't want to talk about it," is her cue to call me to ask me what's going on?
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My mother is the same, Hil.
I picked ltc up from school today at the end of her music class. She was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at the top of her lungs drowning out all the other kids. How did I end up with this adorable little extrovert?

I'm having a fashion tragedy, which I have described on the fb page.
I need ideas for places to look at edgy-ish, loose, tunic style dresses for a big conference I'm speaking at Oct. 2.
I do not want to blend in with the business crowd, but I don't want to scare them either.
Anybody have favorite, off kilter, shops that don't charge an actual body part?
The fb post is here.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Maybe Holy Clothing?

I _love_ Holy Clothing's stuff, but I need something a little thicker, and more geometric, if that makes any sense.
If I weighed 40lbs less, I'd be this chick.

It does make sense -- their stuff does have a lot of sort of scrolly detail.

I love their scrolly detail (looking at the three skirts and one dress I've bought from them).

I do too! I have a beautiful, bottle green, velvet jackety thing with that scroll work, and a long, purple summer dress that I cherish.
Won't work on the big stage though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damn. I just scanned zulily's ready to ship page and couldn't find anything (pretty sure they have some near matches in the regular section, but nothing you can get on short notice). I did find this dress, which does not at all fit the bill but is still awesome and *someone* should get it for sure: [link]

Ohmagod, that is awesome. For something.
I am so frustrated.
Somehow, in my wanderings, I got on a euro-pinterest board that had exactly what I want...in Denmark, RU and various other countries, to which, I have no access.
Blergh.
This kind of thing is so hard for me and once I get an idea in my head, it is hard to shake. Plus. I made a choice, dammit! That's huge for me, where clothes are concerned...and then to not have it work out.
I am cross. Extremely cross.
