    Your favorite reddish/pink nail polish?

    to even talk about it makes my heart ache... OPI made a color a few years ago - one in their operatic collection - called 'La Boheme.' it was my perfect color. and now it's gone, and there is no more. i even got a few bottles from a OPI back-color site that stocks discontinued...

    What Are You Reading

    Doran, very interesting. I haven't read Stonemason, but now I'm supremely interested. McCarthy's work is at times astounding. He's such a melding of so many writers, but also always remains outside of everyone at the same time. Yet I can't help but conjure Twain, O'Connor, Faulkner, and...

    Favourite Scents

    polka dot- prescriptives 'Calyx' is an all-time great favorite of mine. it simply smells like "Full Bloom." citrus and tropical and floral and amazing. my body chemistry has changed so that it doesn't smell as i wish i did on me, but i still love (and slightly envy) to smell it on others who can...

    What Are You Reading

    "Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West," Cormac McCarthy. Cormac McCarthy pretty much starts and finishes modern literature these days (with some help from Ben Marcus, Gary Lutz, and Joan Didion) so I'm an elated, humbled, shaken, and transformed reader. Rafter: Murakami has...

    do you have lots of competition while searching flea markets / thrift shops, etc?

    i just noticed in my last two visits, that my best vintage shop is conscious of it all... their prices have jumped by at least a third. it's depressing. those were my last geat deals. now i'll just pay going-rate. too bad. the deals in this town were dead brilliant for the last year.

    What are you wearing today??

    Today I get to wear a serving uniform for the first day in a long while, and I'm actually really happy to do so, despite the heat. Getting all dolled up is well and good, but day-in-day-out... it gets waring and a gal needs a break from being fancy.

    Your favorite Hot Dog Stand?

    I'd wish you all the best of luck... but then... no I wouldn't.:) Remember when the Sox won the World Series!!??! ;) (Southside represent!) And you just can't beat the Bratwurst at Sox Park. And the 'Beers of the World' vendor...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I don't know if they still make it, but my brother and sister bought me a tube of Prescriptives 'Sangria' over ten years ago, and I still have it and use it. It is true, vibrant red, perhaps with a bit of blue. It last forever (hence it's long life in my makeup bag); one application is good for...

    Your favorite Hot Dog Stand?

    After working every New Year's Eve (bars/restaurants), my former roommate and I would meet up at the Weiner's Circle to people watch. Everything crazy - every whacked-out mess and super sloppy drunken debacle, I witnessed there on those nights. Unbelievable.

    11 yr. old takes down 1,000 lb. pig

    I guess the question becomes, in this day and age, which is an 11-yr old kid in the Deep South more likely to master: Photoshop or a gun?

    11 yr. old takes down 1,000 lb. pig

    I do agree that from the photo the pig looks to be far more than 1,000 lbs. I wonder if there are photos of the valid one killed last year? 'Hogzilla.' Hmm...

    11 yr. old takes down 1,000 lb. pig

    You people are hilarious! I should have posted this a lot sooner! I don't know anything about guns and so have no merit saying whether the child was capable or not, but I'd imagine that if the kid had been shooting since a very young age and guns are a way of life for his family... isn't it...

    11 yr. old takes down 1,000 lb. pig

    This is too good not to share. Horribly written, but a great, urban-legend story non-the-less. I think gigantic pig stories are the next of the Sasquatches... http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3220965&GMA=true&GMA=true
