There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am the anti!Dani. For years I resisted reading Trollope because I found the Barchester novels so dull. Then a friend said "Try The Eustace Diamonds. It's all about Sin In High Life." I did, and I was hooked.
Trollope understands women and outsiders deeply. And he explains them to you. It is fascinating to listen to him explain what a mortal insult it is to accuse a man of lying, and precisely how close you can get to that line without saying something unforgivable.
And Betsy makes a liar out of me by reminding me that I did enjoy The Eustace Diamonds, mostly because of Lady Eustace.
Also, I wore cutoffs over tights with cowboy boots (?!&$!) in university. The only excuses I can offer are that it was the late 80's, and I lived in a cold climate. It was apparently very important to us to extend the shorts-wearing season.
Lady Eustace is a fine, fine character.
Hey, I wore legwarmers with skirts in the '80s. If you'd been in Hanover, New Hampshire going to a job interview in midwinter, so would you.
I'm presuming Teppy found it, but for folks looking for a direct link to vintage Wonder Woman (in all her kinky bondage glory): Wonder Woman Archives starts here with vol. 1.

You betcha. But then the price made me quail. I'm hoping for a Christmas bonus at work, because nothing would make me happier than to spend money from the fundies on buying kink.
Eleanor Butler
See, I knew about the "Betsy Bell and Mary Grey" song version, but that was a much earlier couple, who both died of plague.
But Lady Eleanor Butler - what comes up in my admittedly creaky memory is the name of woman who was the subject of Titulus Regis - the document that made the Two Princes in the Tower illegitimate, because it turned out their hornytoad hounddog daddy had gone through a ceremony of marriage with one Lady Eleanor Butler, who was then shoved in a convent so he could marry someone else.
Another famous Eleanor Butler. How cool is that?
I love to do that. My uptight Catholic relatives bought me "The Joy of Writing Sex" and "How to Write a Dirty Story" last Xmas. And they don't know it, but they used to buy my bus tickets when I fornicated out of town.

Neal Pollack on Wonder Woman (so to speak): "[N]othing, and I mean nothing, gets me hotter than when a so-called 'ordinary' woman changes into a superheroine."
Jesus Christ! Shorts over tights?
It was the '70s.
That look was still fashionable in the early 90s. Or rather, since that's what I wore in sixth grade, it was probably desperately unfashionable, but I'm sure I saw it somewhere and loved the look. Ooh, I bet I got it from Blossom, source of many of my middle-school sartorial travesties.
