[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Is this just weird, or rude?

Thing One: it's rude. Very rude.

Thing Two: Welcome to the club of random people touching you. It happens to me all the time. Dear Little Old Ladies, yes I know I look like a doll. That does not mean you have permission to reach out and play with my fluffy skirts.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

It was rude. I wasn't sure about how I would feel, but after thinking about it -- and there aren't a lot of people that casualy touch my hair.

“Not dead yet!”

see, this just means you've never had the right guacamole.

Ditto this. Lewis never ate avocados and hated guacamole until I made him mine. It's the only one he'll eat, but still...

Is this just weird, or rude?

Definitely rude.

Thanks. I've been, for some reason, weirdly hair-obsessed latley, and wasn't sure if I was overreacting.

(I have no idea where my recent hair obsession has come from. I've just been really self-conscious about it the past few weeks, and have no idea why.)

What's the difference between gauchos and culottes? I've never been quite sure.

Culottes are what girls who aren't allowed to wear pants wear. They are flowy and come below the knee. Gauchos are much more stylish. Kind of. If you're into that type of thing ;). I have a hate-on for both thanks to having to wear them as a kid.

What makes culottes allowed if pants aren't?

I think I figured out where my recent hair weirdness has been coming from -- it's because, at physical therapy, the physical therapist has been working with my neck, which means sometimes putting her hands into my hair, which has gotten me self-conscious about it not feeling all smooth and silky like hair is supposed to be.

OK, this is a ridiculous thing to be self-conscious about, now that I see it typed out like that. I need to either get over it or start straightening my hair, because worrying about this is just stupid.

Culottes are not as form-fitting as pants are. The logic isn't all there, but that's their logic. It's much more like a skirt. Can't show too much shape along the ass and legs. It makes men want you. And that's bad.

Oh! I was thinking more along the lines that culottes are shorter than pants, and thus show more skin, and I was getting confused. I see what you're saying.

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

If a google image search is any indication: all gauchos are culottes, but some culottes are too short to be considered gauchos.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Culottes are not as form-fitting as pants are. The logic isn't all there, but that's their logic.

To some extent, the logic is, women are forbidden by scripture to wear men's clothing. And vice versa. Pants are men's clothes, so women may not wear them. Men do NOT wear culottes, therefore women are allowed to wear them. Among such a crowd it would be just as wrong for me to wear men's socks (because they actually fit my feet) as it is for me to wear jeans.
