Ah, the tummy trap.

This interested me enough that I went off to Goodreads and popped it on my To Read list.

I would never have thought I'd be interested in an Yngwie bio, but you've definitely got me intrigued. It sounds entertainingly batshit.

Dianne Brill's Boobs, Boys and High Heels, or How to Get Ready in Just Under Six Hours. What can I say, I'm feeling extra girly lately.

Damn! Sorry, i posted a duplicate upthread.

Beard oils are a cool idea - Conditioner, I imagine, would be too messy for that job.

Yum to both.

Cosmetics Thread: If you're interested, Bath & Body Works has a bunch of their retired scents as "fine fragrance mists" on their website and they're doing a sale - buy three, get three free, or buy two get a free.

Go for it! Might as well indulge your curiosity.

I think the Pakleds count for that.

Aw. Veronica's doing great at not being a mean girl anymore. I liked her getting along so well with Ethel the first time and this looks cute too.

She is? Excellent, I found her adorable.

We were all outside, jumping and dancing in the beds of our friends' pickups trucks, drinking directly from champagne bottles while the countdown was going on, though we all did expect to see all the lights go off in the neighborhood at midnight. They didn't.

Well, since Ms. Grundy was run out of town on a rail, and she and Archie are therefore no longer having sex in the back of her Volkswagon bug, I don't think anybody's fucking.

I headed out to party hard that night, but not before filling a BUNCH of large water bowls for my cat and dog, you know, just in case the water systems were all fucked up somehow after midnight.

Agreed. Dry as hell.

I think that airless feeling was purposeful; it lends to the stifled, airless, counter-culture-less feeling Benjamin feels smothered by.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Yeah, I thought that was good, too. Especially because I'm the same way. I get that there's always a possibility that someone's ugliness can be turned around with love … but my temper's too bad when faced with this sort of thing to be the one to try to turn people around.

I'll be stealing that for lots of things, thanks.
