Columbia SC in the house. Thanks Zombie - you beat me to this. It won a Pulitzer Prize this year and helped force Gov Nikki Haley and the Republican dominated legislature to support some DV legislative changes they had previously ignored. Her comments about vetoing funding for our statewide DV-SA network were horrible…

emfish55 is winner-person! winner-person!

I’m a white girl, a WHITE girl, get it ?? Tanning-bed-tan girls tell me how sorry they are I can’t turn brown. This is what untouched scandehoovians look like.

Hey ladies - this is it: comes in cotton and nylon and all of this stuff lasts and feels great. Good return policy and if you love vintage - this is where you will find it. Also found incredible stuff on e-bay.

yep, she was... imposing at first. I was 19, in charge of invited speakers at college, 1969 , I don't think higher-ups really knew who she was but she was in her 15 minutes of pop-fame. So i did the gig of picking her up at the airport, taking her places, hanging out with her and getting her to the speech location on…

No, not without you and everyone else. See mine above. What about you?

Who is this "we'? What have you been doing, the last, oh maybe 2 or 5 or 25 years to stop this? Do you think this is inevitable? Do you think circumstances were somehow easier in 1926 or 60 or 69 or 73? If you can't act get out of the way and stop discouraging the people who _will_ deal with this, if it takes…

Remembering Florynce. for that, you get my eternal thanks.

Dig in and get fighting. Seriously. If this makes you sick at heart and bat-shit angry, dig in and carry part of this load. Find the reproductive rights groups in your state, learn about them, pick the ones that are best for you and dig in for the long haul. That means do as much as you can, for as long as you can,…

"would guys act like that?" Old here; you bet they would and these guys were mild cause Joan and Peggy were there on biz representing a client and $$. What these boys would say (and do) to secretaries/worker bee girls would make your head explode. Say thanks to the Peggys and Joans still around. They/we fixed that…

Best explanation ever.

Kelly Faircloth (oh honey, is that your real name? it is transplendent!) this is worthy of our goddess on earth, Miss Manners, w/a dose of tart.

Daya _cannot_ say No w/out being in line for major, major payback.

This. In the 1950s My aunt divorced an alcoholic husband who, while ok when sober, was violent and abusive when drinking. She had 2 little girls, no job and stunned everyone in both families when she left him, found an apartment in Skokie, got a job and refused to return to him when he promised to reform (he didn't).…

Looks like shadow cotton battiste gown and robe or maybe that expensive nylon that was popular at that time (but I hope not). Target shooting in my lingerie - what i aspire to.

I want chemises, right NOW.

oh jkredwine - i steal your gif and send moonbeams of gratitude.

is that Barbara Stanwyk?? the queen of all my dreams?

yep. continuum of actuality. still breathing. Mad Men, etc. authenticity watch. Yeah. It was like that. Only more/worse/funnier/more depressing.

oh please dear jeebus's mother. Kidman?? No. No. and No. i'm a reader/admirer of Gertrude Bell and this makes me psycho. unless it's the Kidman who played Virginia Wolfe, so that would mean they made her not look like Nicole Kidman.
