Ten Paces, Turn and Fire
This is for Pistols at Dawn, who dared to say latex was “hot on ladies, scary on dudes.” Well, think again, PAD! David Lee Roth is here to prove you wrong! Embed from Getty Images Apologies accepted.* Quite a few years ago, I spent a pleasant evening with David Lee Roth after meeting him in…
Latex-Look Leggings and PVC Pants
Much to my delight, there’s been a burst of new posts about latex-look legs in the blogosphere. Check out: I Spy, Thrift Eye Style Bubble The Coveted Meanwhile, I broke down and bought the American Apparel leggings. They’re all weird around the waist so I’ll have to send them back … but of course I…
Cardigan, Corduroy, Cat and Cock
Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “C”! If you’re loving chunky knits this season, you need to check out this awesome ’70s cardigan. Happy bidding!

Even More Surprise Party Pictures
I apologize to the readers who don’t know any of these people, but I want to share a few more photos with folks who attended the party. My favorite photo of the evening: John is amazed to learn he is Amy’s babydaddy.

More Surprise Party Pictures
More photos from my husband’s surprise party have arrived! Click to enlarge. Me with my gorgeous sister, Terri Berry. Seeing us together always overexcites certain men. They say, “Sisters?!” with an ambitious glint in their eyes. Everyone was asking me where I got the Wall Street Journal top I was wearing that night, so here’s…
