“Up thread there are people bitching about the “awfulness” of embellished camisoles worn with velvet jackets, etc”  

“It seems part of it is in how you were raised. Is flying a special occasion or a bus ride in the sky?”

We teach our children “museum hands”, which is nothing more than “hands behind your back when you’re in a museum”. Shame more adults don’t do this. See also, “Look with your eyes, not with your hands.”

Any particular Scottish Twitter accounts you’d like to recommend?

Many years ago at the V&A, they had a dress, mid-1800's I believe, and a portrait of the women wearing the dress. It was amazing to see them side by side.

IKR! I’m trying to talk my husband into making one as he’ll be the one home with them.

Yeah we found out our kids school has no plans in place whatsoever. The school didn’t buy glasses for the kids and we have no idea if they’re planning on keeping them indoors or not. At this point we’re probably just going to keep them home and let them watch it on tv, so we know their eyeballs are safe.

I’ve never waxed once in my life. I have never had a boyfriend ask me to either and I’ve got Elvis sideburns peeking out of the sides of my underpants. I’m sitting here thinking about all the money I’ve saved over the last 30+ years, not to mention pain and suffering. #FreetheBush

I’ve never tried LaCroix because it just looks nasty. I suppose I should try one just to say I have, but I buy san pellegrino instead because I can get it cheaply by the case from Costco. If it was more widely available I’d drink Antipodes because I’m a snob for anything from New Zealand. The only thing I mix with…

That website is hideous and I can’t find a price anywhere on it. I don’t think the interior is actually finished and it’s been sitting empty for how long now?

I live near The Grove where the Mega-Mansion cancer continues to spread. I don’t mind progress, but does it have to be so ugly? Why can’t we get some decent architecture in LA?

Sunset and Cahuenga and they’re tearing down the Jack-in-the-Box across the street as well.

I think I’ll buy that for my kid for his first album. That’s a good 1st album for an 11 yo right? And the Amoeba building is being torn down to make way for a 28 story residential tower. No word yet where Amoeba will move to.

As a Gen X’er, I remember not caring about wrinkles at 30, but caring a lot about what I hadn’t accomplished in life yet. I’m sure for Gen Y that anxiety will be just as acute, if not more so.

The crux of the generation is in their late 20's to early 30's and are so afraid of “aging” they can’t even stand to have the word in a product they might want to buy. I live in Los Angeles where “anti-aging” is a religion.

Everything you said plus I would add, don’t smoke and don’t drink to excess.

I have both books, I’ll never part with them, just pass them down to my daughter. As batshit nuts is Naomi Campbell is, she’s right, there will never be another Kevyn Aucoin.
