I want her outfit, bad, but I always want the outfit of every woman over 80.

My reading of the book was more about an emigre's experience of America and postwar conspicuous consumption, but I have no idea if that's an accepted interpretation. It's a beautiful, funny, and complex book, and deserves better than the association with pedophilia.

I haven't heard anyone in the media say that the RNC was most likely 'scaling back' so that their message wouldn't get watered down (seriously, no pun intended) by the media coverage of the hurricane. That's just straight media savvy, and they get to make themselves look like heroes for "caring."

Did Louis Vuitton make some purses and Bea Arthur floor length vests out of pull tabs, too?

Boris Becker is rocking the rumpled thirties tennis player look as only a tennis player can. Apparently I'm still gay for Maria Sharapova, but her pants hems are too long. Nothing I couldn't fix (...call me!).

@badmutha:
