Used that. Worked wonders - thanks! (I tend to WAY overthink things, if that’s not clear.)

So, just how honest do dudes want you to be when you’re not feeling it after the first date?

You mean, they find others' hoisting of unwanted things on them intrusive? And that it impacts their lives directly? And they think it's a big enough deal to call attention to it and see it's shut down?

Times a million. Exactly.

Your comment gives me faith in humanity and a renewed sense of purpose so I can do my own job.

This is a chilling statement to me....but what do I know? I only prosecute this shizz in a different jurisdiction.

Someday, I will wear this in to court. Possibly minus the birdcage/fascinator headband.

BECAUSE WHAT.

I have a feeling I'll have to go on a wild goose chase myself!

I was just thinking that!! I SO OFTEN associate him with Michael Scott that I forget how flippin' much I love him with some serious scruff!!

I had never even heard of this, so I Google'd it. Vanilla citrus, you say? I must try that suggested Tuaca Ginger Lime. (Maybe I'm just a sucker for ginger-lime, heavy on the ginger.)

Good holy LORD. Gorgeousness.

As a DV/SA prosecutor, I can empathize with what you're feeling. There are days when all I can think is, "Humans are just the WORST."

I will take a pair of The Boss and a pair of Ice Queen . . . they'd totally accessorize my perceived personality at work anyway.

But seriously - the shoes are gorgeous. The whiny back stories? Meh.

My favorite character EVER is Maleficent. I recently decided that should I ever accomplish my career goal of being a judge, I WILL have custom robes made, inspired by Maleficent's. (Probably not the best inspiration to draw from, but whatevs. That bitch is fabulous.)

My new anthem. IDGAF.

I practice in a pretty informal jurisdiction, and would totally rock this look in court. With cap-toe heels, of course, to keep it slightly more professional. Switch up to some really fun heels & take it right out after work - love it!

Yes.

I just can't. I just can't with KP on this. I like her, I do - but I like her for what she's been marketed to be - a fun, non-serious pop star.

P.S., Katy Perry - you seem smart enough & strong enough to take over your visual message to match your verbal "message." Think about it.

P.S. More relevant to the discussion: Edward Norton still makes my heart skip a beat, and Jenelle Monae; I want to be her when I grow up . . . or when I start to own my career. That woman is a fierce, fun fireball!
