See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, ye gods and little fishhooks, msbelle. I am so sorry, and enraged at the stupidheads on your behalf. How any employer could have the great good fortune to acquire a msbelle and then just squander her excellence is beyond me, and also makes me kind of want to punch someone.

ION, I have complete and utter laryngitis. Fine and healthy otherwise, but oh so silent.

And I love that Tumblr. "Victorian" has the multiple pitfalls of not only being abused, but of itself covering so many decades that it really needs to be subdivided to make any sense. A fashionable woman in 1838 would have thought the fashions of the other end of Victoria's reign came from another planet.

Tim Tebow is just annoyingly public and super vocal about his religion. It was a big thing when he was at UF and he was much more public about in ways he can't be in the pros.

For example he wore a different Bible verse on his eye black at every game.

I think he writes one on his wrist band now but I'm not sure.

Besides the Prop 8 stuff Tebow and his mother made a pro life ad that was going to air during the Super Bowl (but I don't think did) about how when she was pregnant with him she was advised to have an abortion but because of her faith she didn't.

One of the issues of the ads is when she was pregnant she and her husband were in the Phillipines where abortion has never been legal.

I recently read an article about how other pro players are very religions but aren't in public about it. For example Troy Polamalu is Greek Orthodox and very devout but most people know him more for his hair than his religion.

I will note some additional bias on my part against Tebow - I'm a fan of FSU, a rival of UF, and UF and Tebow had great years while FSU really struggled.

I am so sorry msbelle. Much job~ma.

I learned the fashion periods of the Victorian era subdivided as "Romantic", "Crinoline", "Bustle", "Late Bustle" and "Turn of the Century". So, they were subdivided, at least in my costume classes.

I feel it is a little like when a director wants "period" costumes but he really just means he wants fancy and/or non-modern costumes. This usually occurs when the costume budget is $0.

Also, re: Tim Tebow-- I really did not need to know that he is a virgin. That is TMI.

wrod. it was also weird for AC Green, an NBA player who is much older, to tell us how long he'd been celibate(I think) All it ever made me think is "No wonder he has time to practice free throws."

Even though I think Tebow is over rated and over hyped, I do have to give him credit for the knowledge he has of the game and the amount of preparation he puts into it. Also, from what I've read, he can read plays very very well, which helps him make up for his lousy throwing skills.

For example, he figured out who was going to scout him at the combine and then learned their offenses and had questions ready to ask.

So he's smart and if he can't make the changes he needs to make as a pro quarterback he'll probably end up an analyst somewhere.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think of Victorian fashion as Petticoat, Hoops, What the Hell Were You Thinking Hoops, Bustle, What the Hell Were You Thinking Bustle, Brief Moment of Sanity and OMG You Let the Bustle Come Back.
