That dress looks like it could be worn again.

70 and rain today. Then lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s for the next 3-4 days.

very much so. it’s very classic and elegant. very audrey hepburnish, which is xsteen’s taste. she LOVES a peplum, which is that little skirt looking dealio at the waist. Bet you didn’t know what didja?

Thank you!

The rain stopped early yesterday here, but we got a very welcome 3 inches, which the ground soaked up because it was nice, slow rain-so no flooding.

We are supposed to be 76-82, with nights in the low to mid 50’s-a bit cool for May here...

Very lovely-and practical bridesmaids dress-a nice cocktail/dinner dress, too-a big hand for xsteen and her good taste and sense...

The cub picked sensible bridesmaids dresses the second time around, as well as the wedding dress that she had made-well worth the bridezilla moment in the fabric store during a fire...

The first dresses for bridesmaids were like something from a fairy tale-all ruffles and frou frou, and the wedding dress a purchased fancy label thing of lace, encrusted with faux pearls, beads, etc that looked like something from My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, and had her sweating and itching before the reception even started...

Guy fakes blindness and steals a diamond ring.

Nothing suspicious or fake about that, huh?

No, Tauraus Centaur is his real name!

He used a bland fake name during his con.

I was inferring that it was a dumb scam either way-once he is ID’d the name won’t be forgotten.

Maybe it’s not the name he was born with, but it is his legal name now.

I’d guess this is the same Taurus Centaur.

Was there a character on some sitcom with that name? Maybe WKRP ? Maybe it was the guys real name.

There was an actor in some TV series once with an implausible name like that, but I don’t remember what show he was in.

And it sounds like a name for a semi-macho Ford SUV...

"Are you saying you are a style over substance type?"

Actually I think I'm a style over even no substance type. If I had to be a ghost, for instance, I'd want to be a stylish ghost.
