Heh. I've actually heard, "the clothes are so pretty," but never heard anyone wish that they lived back then. Hell, my Dad can't even bring himself to watch the show (despite loving well written dramas) because it brings up too many bad memories. Apparently, the Dons and Rogers are too similar to his own dad.

I've encountered this a few times in my real life as well. Otherwise intelligent friends will watch the first handful of episodes and then dismiss it outright for its sexism. I have to try hard not to roll my eyes and instead I just gently explain that "yes, that is the point..."

According to Blind Gossip she's never been pregnant (or, at least) not pregnant with Ivy Blue (or whatever the name is) or with possible spawn #2.

I have to say, it's taken me a while to warm up to Bamford. Her almost manic switching of voices is a bit too much for me. Her "normal" voice (to me it sounds like a nasally baby voice) seems put-on and unfortunately I find it a bit grating. BUT now that I've listened to a whole lot of podcasts she's done, I've…

The abridged recording of Phantom of the Opera was my first cd, but Pearl Jam Ten and the Garth Brooks cds "Friends in Low Places" were a couple of my other first cds.

Jolie - You neglected to mention the dishwasher method. No, seriously, it works!

Huh?! I think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

Semicolons get me through the day. Lawyers love the fuck out of run-on sentences and a sea of commas can just make the whole thing a mess. The Semicolon is my punctuation hero when I encounter these nasty sentences.

Oh great, this poor woman will now be a target for my crazy evangelizing fundamentalist grandfather who happens to live in Moore.

I haven't used Airbnb, but I'm another Jezzie who has used VBRO a whole lot. I've never used it internationally, but over the years I've booked with VBRO over 10 times. I've also had mostly great experiences. The only sort of negative experience I had was a place we rented in Upstate New York with some friends. …

I like the show the show because of Schumer, but I love it because of Tig Notaro and Kyle Dunnigan. I don't find it very laugh out loud funny, but I do enjoy it nonetheless.

Heh. I accept the challenge! We'll put those family JDs to use.

As a patient can you request/demand that no students come in?

I think so, I mean, I've heard of them but I don't actually know of anyone who does it. I should do a post here or on Groupthink asking if anyone knows or can recommend a fashion consultant.

Oh yeah, I've been wearing...you know, I don't even know what they're call...umm shapewear short thingys for years. My god, they're the best. I mostly wear them with dresses and skirts but nowadays I even wear them with some of my thinner slacks so that the slacks have a nicer clean look.

I am so very, very close to hiring a work fashion consultant. I work in a very corporate environment that is happily dress casual, but most women look much nicer than I do. My boss is practically a runway model of executive women work wear. In my role I do not interact with clients, so I have that excuse not be in…

The Secrest biography is great. I received it many years ago (around the time it was published), but kind of savored it by not reading it until a few years ago. I'm currently doing the same thing with "Finishing A Hat" and "Look, I Made a Hat."

How about Marry Me A Little? Sorry/Grateful is amazing. The 1995 revival version with Robert Westenberg is my very favorite.

I was just about to post that we are probably equally fanatical about Sondheim, but then I read that you had a tattoo - my lone tattoo is theatre related but not Sondheim-y. Anyway, I don't think you're insane. But then again, I may be a little insane. I've been known to take work day lunch time strolls around the…

I'm so happy to hear that you also didn't like the '02 production. Man, of every show I've seen (which is a lot because I use to work in theatre and I'm still *surprise!* a big ole theatre nerd) that production just makes me so incredibly angry. I HATE that they neutered it. The fucking cow upstaged (with awful…
