FB Death Pool
 

Very nice turnout for first day of death pool sign-ups! So far I have 6 participants (not including me). Still waiting for Fugee's picks, since she is the one who inspired the pool (not because I was wishing for her death or anything of course).

Anyway, make sure to check out the thread titled 2004 Celebrity Death Pool if you are interested in playing. I'll send around a reminder next week before the deadline for submissions. Winner receives $50 gift certificate from lawtalkers (winner's choice of amazon.com or certain other sponsors). And it is free to play (well, other than the possible bad kharma associated with betting on peoples' death). Can't beat that.

Ps. Worrying about bad kharma is for sissies. [This would have been an asterisk, but I'm still thinking that paigow might play.]

No doubt the phrase "I want to bang the shit out of you" would make Ms. Tierney swoon, if she had the opportunity to hear it.

You know, you use the word shit and mention actual shit more than anyone I know. Where I once crushed you, now I associate you with the "oops I crapped my pants" characters in the SNL ad parody. Of course the same thing can happen in actual relationships, but usually the progression takes about 50 years.

I know you aren't Aticus's sock. He's a twisted tool with serious pedophilia and bestiality issues. You are merely cool, although sometimes bordering on the edge of tragically hip.

The best birthday present I ever received was the jar of Skippy Super Chunk that Wonk Princess very carefully chose for me when she was two.

She nearly had to be sedated when Mrs. Wonk committed the unpardonable sin of dipping into the jar for her own sandwich.

Apparently so. She's ripping her shirt off as we speak:

This site (www.absolutepictures.com) has hundreds of Newsradio stills. Good stuff.

My own wardrobe consultant (alas, not from the board) suggests the following: with a blouse, open one more button than you otherwise would, but wear a camisole type t-shirt (Petit Bateau has perfect ones) underneath. That way, you reveal enough to be sexist (what's wrong with bein' a little sexy?) without looking cheap.

(And no, TM, my wardrobe consultant was not the one who suggested the cardigan-about-the-shoulders look. And for the last time, that's not a fashion statement, but a CLIMATE CONTROL DEVICE!)

I think the imaginary line connecting nipples is the dividing line between alluring and DAMN look at my breasts, although I think there is a width factor as well (a wide neckline that low would be a lot of exposure - I'm thinking V-Neck).

And this is news how?
 

That's just plain weird.

On the other hand, perhaps today I will carry the thought "I have a scrotum" with me, just to see how it affects my gait.

That 9am court hearing I have should be pretty interesting.

When I first read your post I thought you were discussing toe cleavage. I am thankful you were not.

What sort of dates will these be? If they are dressy dinner dates, I would advise skirts if you like your legs (with heels of course), with flirty (but not slutty) tops. I guess I'm saying hint of cleavage would probably be good, but nothing too crazy. If the dates are more casual, I'd go with nice jeans (fitted but not painted on), maybe with high-heeled boots, and a fiarly casual black top (again hint of cleavage, but not more).

But that is just what I would wear. The most important thing is to be true to your personal sense of style. Otherwise you'll be uncomfortable with your clothes during the date, and therefore not be reflecting your true, dazzling self.

Have fun!

First of all, and I can't believe I am the first person to say this but SLUT!!! SLUT!!!! 3 different women??? You SLUT!!!!!!!!!

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'd say you should dress to play up your best physical features (as you see them). I, for example, think that I have gorgeous legs and a damn fine ass, so if I want to impress, I will wear high heels, a short skirt, something to maximize my personal favorite body parts. Now I know boys like big tits, and I've got them, but I don't like to have them waving all over the place (it makes me uncomfortable and self-conscious to be worrying all the time if my tits are falling out of my clothes) so I would pair the short skirt with a form fitting, but fully covered up tee shirt or sweater. So that you can see the outline and shape of the boobies, but no actual boobie-skin.

Bottom line: Yoe've got to feel comfortable and sexy. Wear something that makes you feel both.

You slut.

Courtney Love In Better Days
 

I was preparing to post another scary Courtney Love photo, but I came across this one and figured I'd be nice to her for one lousy day and post a decent photo of her. I will note that this photo is from 2000, and it is unlikely that a similar look could be captured today. Enjoy.

I never said there was anything wrong with it.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that you would be incapable of carrying around the thought "I have a vulva!" without collapsing in laughter.

Maybe if you insert the word "gorgeous," you could pull it off.
