Hell yeah! I’m from Texas and you can tell as soon as I say something!

Yes yes yes yes yes. I just went over spring break with a group of students and every person we met was so nice and chatty and had us constantly laughing. I cannot wait to go back.

I know what I’m going to be fantasizing about (and am now cursing myself for dragging my mom along when I went to Ireland...though we both found plenty of men to at least drink with us).

As long as this stops her obsession with quiet drape runners, I’m all for it.

I agree, and I think one’s reaction to RHPS can also be generational. If you were born in the late Fifties/early Sixties, RHPS would’ve been more transgressive and ‘cool’ when you saw it at 18 than it would if you were born in 1995 and saw it at 18. I'm an Old, though, so...

The new Annie worked, partially because of the decent amount of distance between it and the original

Right? It’s best at a particular age and possibly in particular conditions. I first saw it at 15 when I lived in a fairly conservative Baptist town, so finding this little underground event seemed thrilling and subversive. As I got older, moved to San Francisco and finally reached the age where I could go out to other…

I really should have read the other responses before I crafted mine, you just said exactly what I wanted to say, but better. And with a better username. God dammit.

I moved to Portland fresh out of high school in 1990 and lived there (off and on, mostly on) until summer 2005. Your description of Austin then-&-now, and what I came back to when I returned to Portland last winter, is spot fucking on.

Accurate description. I’ve lived in Austin for 17 years and love many things about it (things that aren’t traffic, segregation, ginormous festivals, lack of urban planning, and gentrification, to name a few...). I don’t see myself leaving—but it’s a very different place than it was when I moved here.

I’m here for grad school and, while I’ll miss some parts of it, I won’t mind leaving. I’m like a reverse hipster: I don’t go much further south than 20th st if I can help it, although Allandale and Brentwood are getting that CA invasion now. A lot of small, established shops around here have moved bc the landlords…

omg another sharpei mom!!! I have one too - check my instagram

It’s like Crap Museum Exhibit From a Dude.

Yeah. People are fascinated by you, but not for the reasons you think.

Well if it makes you feel any better, they’re Valentino knock-offs, so you’re not getting anything spewed from Paris Hilton’s mind (not that you could). Valentino has always done bow d’orsays and they’re always beautiful. The perfect wedding shoe. Ooh, here, I have a photo of it (with bonus cute dog)

You are a pissy asshole, and I say this as actual minority who is far from shy about demanding more inclusion on this family of sites. Everything about you screams "white girl who found a neat way to get attention while pretending to care about POCs."

IS THIS A KARDASHIAN-FREE DIRTBAG? WHAT IS GOING ON? WHERE AM I? WHAT IS LIFE?

Like sleepdeprivedphoenix, that quotation brought me here.

I think the larger question is how will he balance career and family?
