Yes I did, because this community has been a big part of my life for a long time, and nowhere in my rant did I say I didn’t care. What I said was Im sadly coming to the realization that I need to bail out. And I intend to answer anyone who comments on this, because yes, I care a lot.

I would like to add that I just said something insensitive on Groupthink, and I was politely challenged, was able to (fairly) quickly determine my challengers were right. I apologized, and I learned something, and I expect that my apology will be accepted for the most part, because I was approached graciously and with…

I am truly getting to old for the main page. I can’t stand it any more.

I make them and they sell like hot cakes.

he's my sweet lil' thing,

Watch your back. It's open season on Gawker Media for anyone who has managed to stay alive past forty. Hope you're not a woman, because we are especially lame and laughable.

I just looked at the byline again. You're being too generous, and I really like you for it. The author filed this under "posers", which is editorial enough for me.

there is no gutter swill in the world that can equal the gutter swill in New Orleans.

It's just my opinion, but publicly shaming someone for something so superficial is a mean thing to do. I guess it's technically true that the author didn't "editorialize," since there isn't any copy to speak of at all, just a mocking headline and pictures, but to me that is almost worse. Passive aggression is still…

Also portalets with a half-inch of liquid on the floor.

What a great idea! Jazz Fest is in two weeks. I'm gonna get a camera, buy a ticket, and spend the day finding people who are not dressed to my taste and make them think I like their outfit so they will pose for me. Then I'm gonna put huge pictures on the Internet without bothering to obscure their faces. I want…

look at how happy these people are to pose. They are all in a great mood, feeling happy and liking what they're wearing. I doubt if the photographer let them know they were looking for people to make fun of. They probably thought it was a complement.

I'm a long-time festival goer, and I learned a long time ago that sandals are risky. Barf, broken glass, mud and gravel, drunk people stomping on you...if you're at Jazz Fest you can include piles of rotting crawfish shells and dropped raw oysters. My closed-toed shoes at festivals may peg me as an Old, but to me they…

I am a costume maker here in New Orleans. You beat me to it.

Let’s hope they make it through the teenage years. They will all be getting their driver’s licenses when she is 81.

Oh god, me too. I would put them UNDER the house.

In honor of MAD MEN and the evolution of Peggy Olsen I present this to you good people (before it goes on EBay)

Shit. Won't someone make that bodysuit for me in every color size large? PLEASE?

No. I had them, they were itchy.

Goddammit, no.
