OMG, the outfit comes with mittens for his flippers! Flipper mittens! There is nothing not-awesome about that.

Careful, Ewan, there's snow all over the Midwest so as you make your way (back) to Minnesota (since you and Charlie rode through here for Long Way Round), watch out for slick spots! And bundle up!

@Jabes: They were engaged when she was 20 and he was like 33. Regardless of whether their break-up was acrimonious, the line seemed... ungallant to me, for lack of a better word.

@terribletwenties aka Aesop's Foibles: Yes, I've heard that, too. It's a good thing I wasn't watching the episode where DiNozzo said, "I have a better chance of hooking up with Jessica Alba than you do of pulling that off," because I would have injured myself trying to jump into the TV to kick him in the 'nads.

I like Rachel Boston's dress, but the black pantyhose with open-toed shoes? A world of NO.

Ahhhh, I was waitin' for this decade to show up in the LIFE archive feature! I'm not at all ashamed to say I want a conversation pit installed in my next house. (That would be the bathtub/fireplace living-room set-up, but without the bathtub.)

Sometimes, you get a girl to like you, then she ditches you. Life is hard, move on!

Love. Her.

Bish, plz. Joan could wear a dress made of stitched-together washcloths and I would be all, "I LOVE IT!" It's Joan Motherfucking Cusack.

I love Amy Adams's dress; it's reminiscent of the 20's without being costumey. Michelle Williams is gorgeous, most everybody looks good, and though I like the color of Alison Pill's wrap dress, it's too short to wear without adding a skirt or trousers.

@margotenenbaum: It's unrelated to talking-to-boys, but just for kicks, get drunk on homemade cordial with your bosom friend.

Auntie Entity pwns Sasha Fierce.

@Buenavista: A four-year-old with a plastic screwdriver could take on Stephanie Plum. (Can you tell I gave up after Book #12 because Steph was still leaving her house without a gun or a charged-up cell phone?)

@KiddyKat: Ha! ZING!

@morninggloria: AAAAAAAAH, ValleyFair! The last time I was there (age: 26, ten years ago), we got caught in a gigantic rainstorm after 45 minutes of rides and had to hide out in one of the picnic shelters eating a funnel cake. And then the lightning started, so we had to skedaddle. Good times, good times.

@this_charming_one: Dr. Pepper lipsmacker, for me. Remember when lipsmackers were physically huge? Like the size of a glue stick? Now they're just regular lip-balm size. Le sigh.

@estrojen: Lack of trousers. :-)

@TheUptightMidwesterner: I know! I love the scene where she's at the Curl Up and Dye salon giving herself a manicure and reading the missile manual.

@Chicklet: UM, OOPS. WRONG THREAD.

@cassis: I AM SO DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THOSE HATS THAT I CAN'T STOP USING CAPSLOCK.
