Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Lord I hope not, that dress style is just horrid!

It was hideous! Sadly, I have to confess, I had a dress exactly like it, only blue with tiny white polka dots, when I was a freshman in high school circa 1971!!!!

That is exactly what I thought. Gunnie Sax, baybee! I had that dress in a different color.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She was trying to become a 70s singer-songwriter, so she dressed the part....

You know, I had not one but two Gunnie Sax dresses both worn to winter formals. Plus I had several pair of plaid (yes, plaid) bell bottom pants that I wore to school regularly. My senior picture also includes a puka shell necklace (I howled at night's Raising Hope). The 70s...man, fashion nightmare.

Because books.

The dress took me right back. Thank god I didn't have a mint green one, though.

Gunne Sax and Jessica McClintock (or was she part of Gunne Sax) were de rigeur for prom there for a while. With feather earrings.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It's time for a live action version of Archer. I just saw a girl who needs to play Lana.

Have you seen pictures of the woman who voices Lana?

Because Aisha Tyler couldn't possibly look more Lana-like. Also, she's six feet tall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But does Aisha Tyler have enormous man-hands? Because I feel like that's key.

Dawn and Amy are my sisters. And, yup, Jessica McClintock was with Gunne Sax.

wiki tells all:

Although she earlier had wanted to teach for a profession, she purchased the Gunne Sax clothing company in 1969, which lead her later to create the company now known as Jessica McClintock, Inc.[1] That company sells a wide range of consumer items, including clothing, clothing accessories, eyeglasses, bridal wear, and home decor items.

I was such a fashion victim in the 70's, I loved her stuff!

I really want to see everybody in their gunne sacks now.
