Indeed the list seems less than luxurious. I also think that the largest part of the charm from an Oprah’s Favorite Things episode came from the maniac excitement of the audience. Or maybe the things just used to be better?

And a deeply ingrained old boys club, at that. This is moving out of cautiously optimistic territory for me now. I am a proud Canadian today.

Oh God, I teared up when I read that he’d given two aboriginals cabinet posts. So much win.

Jeezuz, I was a kid in the 60’s and I didn’t know until this post what a ‘cut crease’ was. Turns out, I’ve been doing that with eyeshadows since I was 14. I’d also forgotten just how astonishingly pretty young Twiggy was. It’s because of her that I couldn’t wait to attack myself with mascara and blue eyeshadow.

Yep, rebound booty. If he’s treating well and she’s feeling less shaky, then good on her. If he starts acting like an asshole dude-bro, I hope she turfs him early on.

I would still take any of the Gilmore Girl outfits over some of the weird ass so-called ‘edgy fashion’ that got hung on Carrie Bradshaw on a regular basis.

Why is she even being given another 15 minutes for this? Just stop.

You took a lot of flak for this comment and truthfully, I also have known friends who wanted ‘the ring and the party’. I think everyone knows at least one: it’s the princess-for-a-day extravaganza they are craving, not the actual marriage stuff that comes after. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, because my friends…

It blows my mind to think that people in this cult choose to minimize the fact the L.Ron Hubbard fabricated the whole dianetics/scientology thing back when he was a poor sci-fi author. How is this even a religion?

Not only is your Auntie badass, but she chose the perfect badass name for her ‘70s land yacht.

Truly, you make the right point here. When I was getting my Mom’s condo in a 55+ plus building ready for sale, my real estate agent and I poured over pictures of my competition in the area. I wanted a good idea of what was selling in my price point, what in-suite amenities were popular, and how much ‘freshening up’ I…

Dear lord, I hope for her sake that she stays man-free for a good while. This gal needs to redefine what she looks for in a mate.

I want to know the going rate in camels and goats that one intact hymen is worth.

I am currently really enjoying reading about face cream wars between Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubenstein.

Oh Lordy, it’s sad. They are such beautiful women to begin with, and now their cheek and mouth muscles aren’t moving. Why, why, why...

I call shenanigans. My son-in-law to be has been an active part of the planning right from the get-go. He is hellacious excited about this day. Not over the top, although we had to rein him in on the number of groomsmen, but he has every much made it ‘his’ day too...and I love him to bits for it.

I kind of wish that the video was of their traditional Chinese wedding back in the Spring, instead of this unicorn-sparkle-farting ode to wretched excess. (Oops, that was my outside voice wasn’t it?)

It did get better as it went, but I know what you mean about the descriptions. Except for that one restaurant where the ‘prime table’ at the authentic Chinese restaurant was the cooks sleeping quarters. I could have done without that description.

Yes!! And this wedding made me say, “By God, he got it exactly right!” I’ve been waiting for Jez to post about this for days, because I really needed more people to shake their heads along with me. 31 million!?!?!

I am cautiously optimistic today. We just needed Harper and the Conservatives out. Considering that Canada has elected Liberal over 70% of the time in the past, this election shouldn’t feel like the monstrous watershed that it does: I think that comes down to Harper making like a dicktator (intentional) for so long.
