@kerry: Thanks - that's a wonderful thing. Your link isn't working for me, though. I found the blog entry here [whedonesque.com]

Girl power!

That kids got some big, weird, out-of-fashion shoes to fill.

@SisterMaryMartha: Or maybe you're secretly in love with her!

@Archetype: I'm not a fur fan, nor am I an advocate of throwing blood on fur wearers....however, I've read reputable reports that some animals are skinned alive for their fur because the fur folicles close up after death, or something. Also, seems like you can get a lot of shoes out of one cow, whereas it takes a…

@Archetype: (When I first read that I was wondering if they recycled fur into insulation, or pillow fillers, or golf balls)

@Archetype: That makes sense - biodegradable, rather than recyclable. Nylon is the worst fabric ever. Totally toxic and non-recyclable - you can only burn it.

@Archetype: You can recycle fur? What do they make it into?

Love the happy face. Love the belt. Love the 4 foot long legs.

@Devonna: It's sheer, stunning brilliance.

@Sunbunny: She's just gonna shine, them on.

Sigh...why can't LA have a winter? I want to wear a knit cap and (faux)fur-lined boots! And, I'm not talkin' 'bout Ugs.

The AA leggings ad is hideous, to be sure, but not nearly as offensive as the one for the leotard with the woman on all her knees bent over with naked ass in the air.

@Macloserboy: That's interesting- I never thought about the guys in porn that way, but it makes total sense.

@huffyb: I think you nailed it - it's the small on top/big on bottom shape that this dress does not flatter. I just don't have any boobs to push out that neckline. And the wrap part just makes my hips and behind look huge an lumpy. I'm sticking with the A-line skirt and fitted top.

@miele: @rollergirl76:I have the same feelings about porn. In theory I'm totally for both, but in the back of my head, I have a hard time believing that many of them would be there if they had a real choice, or if they weren't fucked up by some past experience.

@La.Petite.Kangourou: I love that idea, but didn't we just have a story about how rape cases are so seldom pursued by the authorities in the UK? I just hope that they go through with funding and prioritizing for this.

@hortense: Seemed like a pretty tame comment to me - maybe not all that useful, but "attack" is a strong word. Whereas others in this thread have expressed the same sentiment with I think we have different definitions of "on trend" and "it totally works". I'm not really sure why one deserves calling out and not the…

@clairedeloony: I can see Rachel Zoe now, standing on the sidelines of the runway, handing puppies and kittens to her clients and they step out of their cars - for that extra something!

@Dottie Gale: My grandfather had a habit of chewing each bite 25 times. I try doing that every once and a while, it's surprising how infinitely long it seems to take. It goes without saying that Grandpa was rail thin...
