Lol, thanks. Let's hope he noticed that, too.

Nonono, you can win! I promise! The other evening I met a date for coffee at 2 a.m. (he'd just worked a very late shift). He was exhausted, but he still noticed my bag! He asked about it and said it was "cool". While not the most amazing compliment in the world, I was touched, especially considering the context. He…

Um, that's usually a good indication (to me) that a guy is interested in me and pays attention. Seriously, keep complimenting on the shoes/bag/hair/etc. It works on the right girls.

Thanks...when (if) I ever finish Gangs, I'll try it.

OMG, yes. I loved that movie, but I'm still slogging through the book (it's been months since I started it & I'm a voracious reader). Definitely not as good...it's kind of an amazing leap, what with that movie being "based" on the book. Pretty loosely based, I'd say (thank goodness).

Herbert Asbury. His book, "The French Quarter" was great (except for the horrible racist bits).

Yeah, Louisiana has a comparatively low cost of living, too. And heck, pre-Katrina...well, I had a 2 bedroom/1 bath with a fenced yard & water paid on the New Orleans lakefront...$525 per month.

A liberal agenda? You mean like the "liberal bias" of our news media in general? That is blatantly false. This is an issue of sex discrimination, not of any kind of religious intolerance. You are free to worship however you wish, but you can't discriminate on a public bus. Period.

My mom once did an awesome Beauty & the Beast costume...her left half was Beauty and her right half was the Beast. She is amazing at sewing, though...I could never do it.

I managed to get it once before it got yanked...it was good, but not great. It's no real loss.

Well, some years, when I'm more in the black, I don't mind spending a little cash for costume parts. Halloween is a BIG deal in New Orleans.

My costume this year was based on finding a character who had a costume comprised of stuff in my wardrobe. So...I will be Misa Amane from Death Note. :D

I STILL don't understand how exactly that happened...

No pants at all? My, that IS sexy! I'm sure they'd love it if I wore that in my neighborhood, deep in the Bible Belt...lol.

My gyno tried to sell me weight loss medication WHILE she was doing my vaginal exam. Wow, that was so awesome! Times I've been to see her since then: 0

Complete with sexy facial burns, I hope!

I think it's a ninja maxi-pad. Note the tampon nun chucks (sp?).

You missed "sexy Leatherface" from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was horrified (and not in a good, Halloween-y way) when I saw that on Amazon. Seriously, WTF?!

LOL! You know, no one has EVER tried that with me...I'm just WAITING for it to happen, so I can unleash the grammar nazi that is hiding (JUST) below the surface.

These shirts are great. It's like how I live in New Orleans and think it's great when the idiot tourists walk around wearing Mardi Gras beads year round...it just let's everyone know who to avoid/rob/scam/etc.
