Heyer fans can be rabid. In my family I can look at my sister and say "ducklings" and she knows I'm talking about The Grand Sophy. Or "hot air balloon" and it's Frederica. And "red heels" is These Old Shades. I'm actually thinking about getting a tattoo that has a Georgette theme because I love her books so much.

Did you read The Witness. I loved it. I'd been in the Nora-rut too and read her pretty much out of habit cause they're reliable; meaning I'd enjoy them without necessarily loving them. But Witness was great.

Georgette is the best. She is phenomenal at dialogue and her secondary/supporting characters are great. The history is also well researched and accurate. Her book set duing Waterloo (An Infamous Army) was used for teaching the battle at some military academies.

I've had that exact conversation I don't know how many times. There's just no way to descibe the books without sounding mental. But they're soooo good. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the new one. I was hoping for Bel's story, but it's a completely new universe instead.

Love Thea Harrison. Her first in the Elder Races, Dragon Bound, series still cracks me up after multiple reads.

Try Samhain Publishing. They have a broad base of erotica. BDSM, menage, MM, MFM, MF, etc. As well as styles: historical, sci-fi, contemporary, and paranormal/urban fantasy. And the stories are usually well written and entertaining.

I have really straight and super fine hair. Has to be washed every day and twice in the summer. None of those no-poo methods worked for me.

I love that name. But if you're in the southern US, I can almost guarantee that it'll end up being pronounced "Emma Jean".

Could have used that the other night when someone was crop dusting the aisles at the store.

For me the motivation to be super handywoman comes from wanting that designer kitchen or bathroom but being too broke to have it done by someone else. Luckily my dad is a complete diyer and I was his assistant.

The male equivalent of camel toe is moose knee.

Crazy packed club with 50 people ahead of you in line for the ladies' room and the men's room is empty. Tell me I'm not the only one to hit the men's room.

One of my favorite pages. Modcloth is good too and they sell plus sizes as well.

Try some lycra blend pencil skirts. I bought a bunch of them at Old Navy and Target. Pair them up with a sweater set and flats. It's a slightly retro/Mad Men look that can be really flattering. I was worried that I'd look like a sausage with legs, but get lots of compliments. If buying sweater sets seems too pricy, go…

Best thing I've ever done. My back dosen't hurt all the time, the grooves in my shoulders have finally gone, I can run with out pain, lay on my back and still breathe and sleep on my stomach. I truly recommend it to those considering it.

I don't adopt a persona. You get the same personality whether or not I'm rocking an awesome hat. I don't suddenly try to adopt new mannerisms or speech patterns. Basically, I just think some of those hats are just works of art that should be worn and appreciated. The thing with hats is you can't wear them well if you…

Especially when you consider that in the fedora heyday men's hair styles were pretty much cemented into place with pomade. And women's hairdoos were elaborate up-dos that would be demolished by messing with you hat too much.

Also women's hats were traditionally held on with hatpins. Which, as someone who loves to wear vintage hats, I can tell you can be a real bitch to get just right. That's the practical reason. The other historical/religious reason is to cover the hair in order not to tempt men. You hat would only come off in the…

It's so you don't put a cloth covered in your dna next to someone else's food. Also, napkin on the table signals the waiter that you're done with your meal. At least it used to. Things are getting more casual. But really not putting your spit next to my plate or fork seems like the polite thing to do. The conundrum…
