I kind of thought that maybe the knew the gender, when they changed the law. But, according to all of the press, the couple really did not know, and wanted nobody else to know, if it was a boy or girl until the child was born.

So, history wasn't made, but a healthy baby born to such a loving couple is always a blessing.

So maybe it worked out like it was supposed to. But sometimes I wanted somebody to go to the mall with. Who wouldn't rush me.

very funny. are you my twin?

Colorado?

Never can tell, though. One day I might just say, I'm going to the mall and sail out the door...

is that both of my adult sons, and my grandson, all 3, spend more time in the bathroom styling their hair, and more time shopping, than I ever have

There's a reason why there are no girls after me, I guess.

All poofy and blown dry and gelled slick on the sides. Or spiky and glittery on the top. Remember those days?

While watching the London Olympics and all the gold and glitter I had a flashback of those days. It's about time for Glam Rock and Glam clothes to come around again and London was pushing it. So be prepared and be very, very afraid.

Or install an extra bathroom.

I've got a couple of pictures of me with 80s big hair; all complements of my then SIL, who was a hairdresser. I never did it for myself, but when she wanted a "girls night out," she insisted on doing it for me. She also insisted on choosing my wardrobe. She turned me out pretty well, lol.

My radar for fashion is all wrapped up in my students: middle schoolers. I kept wondering when the too-low-cut skinny jeans were EVER going to fade, and, toward the end of last school year, I saw some hopeful trends. But...fashion just keeps cycling around, and here is comes again. The stuff they were showing up in after spring break distinctly reminded me of the 80s.

Wasn't it always that way? Except for the glorious San Francisco days, Haight-Ashbury, flower children, long long hair and no make.up. Maxi skirts, tie-dye and beads.

Oh, and Seattle 90s grunge. T-shirts over other t-shirts under flannel shirts over baggy jeans. Converse high-tops, not tied.

Speaking of the 80s though, I'm really into retro clothing. The real stuff. And I have the most magnificent black suede coat, sort of triangular in line, with a large hood that lies flat on the shoulders and forms a triangle on the back. And it has little gold 4-point stars all over the shoulders and lapels. It was given to me not long ago since I collect nice retro. I'd almost put up with Clam Rock again to wear it once. Almost.

Does DU have a dating service?
If not, why not?
We need to help this man.

The attacks that are coming from here as a result of public interest is a bit alarming. The R S T L N E of p/outrage

who get upset if someone posts an "I-don't-give-a-s@#$-about-the-Super Bowl" thread.

and he ends up being king , how would we refer to his husband ?

That was the rumor if it was a girl - not the first name, I'm sure.

I'd like it if they used Spenser in Diana's honor, but I'm sure the Queen has to approve so it'll probably be some boring old-fashion name to fit historical guidelines.
