Well, not with me. I'm at work.
Buffy ,'Chosen'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought is was 20K...do we need a name?
It's 30K.
HOOKERS AND BLOW FOR THE CURE
Whew! I was blanking on good names?
Though I was looking forward to msbelle running rampant through the threads again.
HOOKERS AND BLOW FOR THE CURE
And there's Natter 70!
It's 30K.
PHEW!
"I'm for the cure. What? I like their music!"
Ha! That's exactly where I went. (I"d put on "Friday I'm In Love", but I'm staying with Cass and I know she doesn't like that particular song.)
Didn't Komen actually go after The Cure once?
Holy crap, I hope not.
The subtext is that pink and glitter contaminate anything they touch [with their dangerous femininity].
Which is really, really annoying to us who are very femme AND very feminist. Dammit, I just want sparkly pink kitchen utensils. I don't expect everyone to want them.
I'd also be very careful of evaluating trends on dress codes and perception with anecdata from just large cities or the coasts. My cousin Buffy (the one who pops in here from time to time) worked for a computer-related magazine (she did tech reviews) in the 90's and early 2000's that required her to wear skirts and NYLONS to work. I get sick just thinking about it. Especially since the requirement was not relaxed while she was pregnant or while the building's AC unit was on the fritz. This was in Lincoln, NE.
