Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Newt Gingrich has been using "Eye of the Tiger" at his campaign events (has the man no sense of taste? Even Dean Winchester is aware it's ridiculous!), but without permission!

Didn't Reagan do that with "Born in the USA"?

I am tired and cranky. wahh! And I realize thanks to this conversation that I need a few new bras that actually fit. Somehow 4 of my old ones just went and got worn out all at once. I guess step one is getting a proper fitting as I have not a clue what size I am now, and I have Bs, Cs, and Ds in my lingerie drawer.

But on the good news tip, I just found a new beauty supply near my house, and what do I see inside but a huge display of Zoya polish!

meara, my refrigerator sometimes goes through a fit of that, and it's some kind of defrosting cycle. The first time, I was convinced it was dying in agony.

I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't want a more flattering bra, she wasn't showing cleavage or anything, they were just sitting where they should be.

They're probably sticking out much farther than she's used to, and if they're tits of size, that makes them much more noticeable. As someone who's had many instances of assholes making public rude remarks on my tits, I quite understand why a woman might not want to make a more assertive statement of a bustline. I've checked to see what my tits would do if I got a more supportive bra, and I do not have the, well, cojones to go out in public looking like Mae West.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I miss the days of renting, when I'd just call the property management office to handle it. Now I have to be an adult about it and deal with it myself.

Nail polish! I go through fits and starts. Right now, I'm sticking with a basic French manicure. Polish chips too quickly, even on gel overlays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have decided to deal with by breasts sticking straight out in front of me. I'm good with them looking spry like 20 years ago. I do not want them to jiggle, however. And that's an even more important component of a good bra. Girls are well supported and don't try to escape.

And Palin did it with "Barracuda" and somebody else that I can't recall right now.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I want 'em up and out and no jiggle. I learned my lesson with the demi-cup bras. I have ONE. No more.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I have a demi that I wear with one dress, and the dress has a high waist and is snug enough that it offers support in addition to the demi.

I snagged several demis from the Very Sexy line at Victoria's Secret during the Semi-Annual, and had to abandon them while teaching -- just too, too much.

And the cup leaves a very visible demarcation under tees. And y'all know I am down with the cleav, so it was...Not Good.

I guess I'm glad that I have no lift or separate issues, but still a little jealous of the cleavage Erin and Vortex can put on!
