Aly -- I'll be there for Hallowe'en! Just need to figure out a costume now...

Maven, you could always go as me for Halloween. Aly has a red wig and a sheet...as long as you carry a bottle of booze with you at all times that should actually be the best halloween costume of me ever!

Have any of you guys ever checked out the pics in the gallery here? Sorry, but some of them are freakin' hilarious. I could spend hours perusing and laughing.

Julez, it is one of my vices. Actually, when tucsonchick, Poiteen and I were over at Aly's in August we spent some time perusing and being highly judgemental. It's always good for a giggle or a "no FECKING way!".

There is a photo in there so awful Nicky can attest to me losing it completely for several minutes. There is a couple standing in front of a fireplace mantle that has a framed photo above it....in the framed photo there is a badly done photoshop of the same couple looking down on themselves standing in front of the fireplace. I know people sometimes do that to be "ironical" but I get the feeling that that wasn't done in irony.

Good news...Nicky has a true interview on Halloween at Whole Foods! I dearly hope that it pans out...mainly because of the discount I would vicariously get through Nicky :-p

I've seen that one too. At first I assumed that it HAD to be a joke, no-one would do that seriously... but I think I may be wrong.

Oh yeah...I don't think it is a joke at all.

I'd really like to do something all 70's-ish with some of Nicky and I's pics....like have him sitting nicely in a carpeted platform with a beige marbled backdrop of the Sears Portrait studio...and have a vaporous image of my face looking down on him from the upper right hand corner. Sort of like this:

It's going to be all about Charm School on VH1, Real Housewives on Bravo and Top Model for the next couple of days...... and I will institute a CNBC/Bloomberg blackout.

No national news will be watched until 11/5.

BTW, they were giving away Obama tees here at work today - needless to say I didn't join the queue. And, no I am not voting for either one.

LOL...yes the classic protrait with silhouette....niiiiiiiice.....

I don't know - I think an almost-sepia-but-not-quite look with soft focus and adoring looks might be quite classy... You know the way early 80's photos looked when the colour is all faded??

Oooooh, I have a costume idea! I mean, I've gone as it before but you just can't beat the old standby: Trampy Catholic High School Hirl.

Yeah, I've done that many a time.

[Jeraly 4]

Oh that's always a good one I still don't even have a costume - I think we are going to have to venture to Walmart or some thrift stores although apparently K-mart has a 40% off sale on costumes...

Duh, I meant Girl. Yesterday was one long senior moment, I swear.

Hi all. Having been a real life catholic school girl, in a uniform designed to be as unsexy as possible I find the 'sexy catholic school girl' thing a little hilarious.

I really was excited to see my family. Now I just want them to leave my apartment alone. They keep filling the fridge to breaking point and generally driving me nuts. My parents are ultra sqeamish, they came home and I was watching True Blood, and I did not enjoy a minute of it once they were watching too. Oh man. I love'um, but god, I prefer when we have a little space, and I can watch some TV with boobs in it.

[Jeraly 4]

Pointy likes watching boobies!!!

I dunno - I am looking forward to my mum being here but I am sure I will be fed up after a while as well Are you able to make it to the party or will your family still be around (if you don't kill them that is!)
