Karen, not that I was commenting in them would tick quite a few of those boxes.

 

However when you have terms like Sex that are now so intangible I am not sure how they can be prescribed.

Well, the die is cast. 15 years, 1 month and 2 days ago, I peeked over the back of a sofa at a boring party and found a tall, dark-haired guy squinting to read a magazine in low light and drinking out

I don't know! I have been looking mostly at this site, Vanity Fair, the NYT, Slate, Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue,  Neiman Marcus and the Oribe store over the past couple of days.

I'm a big CCR fan, I saw John Fogerty in concert in Vegas a few years ago, he hasn't changed much, for an old guy he can still Rock, it was a great show, I bit loud, I should have brought ear plugs!.. I remember when I was in Russia a few years ago,  I went VDNKn Park on the outskirts of Moscow,  not many foreign tourists there, most were Russian, and they were playing CCR on the loudspeakers, "Green River" the English version, It made me feel at home :)

 

John has a lot of history, He was sued by Fantasy Records for sounding too much like himself, he lost the case,  then he appealed it, it went all the way to the US Supreme court and he won it, it cost him a fortune, but it worked to the benefit of all musicians in how their treated by the music industry.

What's everyone doing tonight to ring in the new year? I'm going out in a bit for a boring trip to Target (mini-trash bags for the bathroom) but later I'll be on Zoom with some friends and my husband. I've never been one for big NYE celebrations anyway so I'm sort of not too bothered?
