Dammit

i see it too.

I don't know what I like better: The black lacquer table (which screams: Let's do some coke!) or the line "The walls WERE a soothing salmon. So was the entree."

Clearly I know way too much about Diana's wardrobe because this immediately sprang to mind.

I am having some fine-ass Jessica McClintock flashbacks as I read this.

That McCall's spread! I literally had my mother make me one of those for Easter when I was 14. (She always sewed us new dresses for Easter.) The tiered skirt. Mine had a matching quilted jacket with puff sleeves. The whole deal was lavender and off-white. Laura Ashley was a big deal.

Yes. I recently reread a Jayne Ann Krentz book in which the heroine dressed EXCLUSIVELY in safari style clothes except when at the gym when she wore a bright yellow leotard and if memory serves, turquoise tights because she thought black was too bee like.

Several years ago, my husband and I went to an Open House that screamed 1980s. A majority of the rooms were decorated in that violently patterned paisley-and-floral wallpaper that was considered de rigueur at the time. The man of the house was sort of hanging around (annoying the Realtor). He must have said "I didn't…

And weren't they always inviting the dude over their house which is ALWAYS decorated in florals in shades of salmon & cantaloupe. The effect being both delicate and feminine. And the dude always nods approvingly instead of running & screaming.

I'm fairly sure I owned a Barbie that had a similar dress in the late 80s.

Female air marshals.

Jezebel did a piece on that a couple weeks ago: http://jezebel.com/autism-busting…

We didn't claw our way to the top of the food chain to take shit from some asshole geese.

There's your Lea Michele inspiration

A 4th Century Roman cook book includes a recipe for a baked patty of ground meat served on bread. But it's well known how St. Louis basically invented Rome, so I think that still counts for them.

These customers remind me of the dumbest person I ever had walk through the doors of the Borders I managed after college.

VEEP may be my favorite show of all time. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is absolutely amazing and I love her and I want to be her.

There's only one good show about Washington DC on TV right now and it sure isn't House of Cards

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.
