Please Don't Divorce...

Send pictures of you and your friends holding signs that say, "Don't divorce us!" or "Don't divorce my moms!" or "Don't divorce my friends, Dawn and Audrey!" or "Don't divorce Californians!" to pleasedontdivorce@couragecampaign.org. We'll put all of your pics together in one place and make sure all the right people get the message -- the lawyers behind the effort, the press, our friends and neighbors.

If only we had more of this going around before the vote. How could anyone who chose Yes on 8 look at these faces and see the love that's there, and still vote to take away the civil rights of a few?

New Years 2009 -- 80s Style

For this New Year's, I'm heading to a club with a '80s theme. How fun, I thought, would it be to dress up for the occasion? Employing as much enthusiasm as I should for writing the oft-delayed novel or the DC fics, I have gathered the following must-haves for the party:

-- the glow-in-the-dark bracelet

-- the electric pink tights

-- the fake pearls and a cross-used-as-a-fashion-statement

-- the ruffled, tiered mini skirt

-- the ankle boots

-- the orange-red lipstick

-- the off-the-shoulder blouse

-- the vintage fugly leather jacket with metal studs

I also have mousse and hairspray, but I took one look at the pictures of '80s hair and whimpered. The last time I had my hair crimped, I smelled burning hair. Scrunchies, I decided, to rock that awesome juvenile look: the side ponytail.

I'm enjoying this way too much :D

ETA: The off-the-shoulder blouse tore when I put it on. Damn you, Anchor Blue! Also, the tights are sheer and not blindingly 80s enough.
