Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My sister worked retail for most of her life (she's changed careers) and there was always a dress code. Whens she worked at Saks they required skirts and stockings; even when she'd had a growth removed from her leg and the stockings stuck and caused fairly significant pain, she had to wear stockings.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Am I being too much of a stickler?
Depends on your industry and role.
As I'm wearing a dress and tights today, I'm almost at as business formal as I get. But, then, I interviewed in jeans and a turtleneck.
And my daily wear involves Batman lounge pants. People know when I wear a dress that I'm at the end of my laundry.

OMG, Tom! I hope that your dad recovers easily.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What javachik said.
Also, don't get me started on the preponderance of pink construction shit for women.

oh Tom! I don't really have anything else to say.
But! you can come back after a stroke - I'm probably younger and I was really lucky, but recovery is possible. FYI, it took me about six to eight months to bounce back.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, Tom! Fingers crossed for a Toddson like recovery.
