Say No to the RED BUCKET..

"But I do not. I do not ring the bell for the Salvation Army. I do not donate to the Salvation Army, because the Salvation Army discriminates against gays and lesbians in employment, works to defeat civil rights measures that protect gays and lesbians and promotes position that gay relationships "do not conform to God's will for society."

Actually, I do. SO glad I bought this stupid "slutty pirate" costume when I saw it on sale. I KNEW I'd find a reason to wear it.

Being cold out, I'm also wearing leggings. And simply flats rather than slut shoes. The first pair of flats I donned had cross straps and I looked like some freaky, BAD, ballerina pirate hybrid. Now I just look like a fool (or a waitress at Jolly Roger's.... are those still around? Anyone else remember them?) and fool is what I was going for.

Gonna grab some cheap champagne and head up to Hollywood and hope this food fight goes off.

I just went on a shopping spree for work pants and it included a pair in the largest size I've ever bought... 26. Eeeegads!!

I've bought shirts that large before, cause I wanted them giantly oversized, but never pants. And never ever pants that fit.

On the bright side, they were on sale for $8.13.

I got a sweater/jacket for about the same price in size 30/32... massively oversize but I like the super loose fit. I also got a negligee, though I've got no one to wear it for. But that's what happens during good sales!! I ended up with 5 or 6 pair of work slacks (all black or grey base color), 1 pair of sweat/lounge pants (dark grey), 1 print sweater/jacket (giraffe or leopard print), 1 casual jacket (black), and 1 nightie (black w/floral) for about $160... not bad.

I once read that a sign of being ashamed of your weight is buying all black. But I buy dark bottoms, and jackets, because they're easier to mix.

I haven't tried on my Newport-News sweater or slacks yet cause I tried the jacket and it's about a billion sizes too large. I ordered it in calf-length and it hangs to the floor. It looks like a gigantic ugly robe. I thought it was supposed to be reversible fleece but the black side is ultrasuede and has the leopard print showing through all the seams. It looks like it's inside out. On the leopard print side, it's an oddly colored print - looks okay in dim lighting (or dark rooms) but icky in light. Such a total disappointment!!! I'm really hit & miss with Newport-News... some things are great, others suck hardcore.

I didn't got to the champagne tasting today. I wasn't feeling it and definitely wasn't going to buy any champagne so it seemed like a big "Why Bother?"

Now I'm killing time till the spaghetti food fight. Only 6 RSVPs but he says its still gonna happen. I still plan to wear my pirate outfit. Cheap beer is being supplied but that won't get me buzzed enough to food fight so I'm planning to bring cheap champagne.

Is, as I feared, little more than a 2 hour Channel commercial (no channel product placement - just the style of one looooooong channel commercial). All the good parts? Already shown in the commercials (yes, they're that brief).

I spent the whole time thinking that it looked like it was filmed with the intention of immediately being redone as a play. Turns out that's because it's based on a play, which I didn't know.

I did know, however, that it's also loosely based on the Fellini film 8½. That helps a lot. Well, it helped me stay in my seat and not walk out.

I read that Fergie's performance was "a revelation". Really? It wasn't long enough to be much of anything to me.

Nicole Kidman's costumes, with boobs clearly much larger than her own/real ones, was distracting.

I liked Penelope Cruz' character (little slut!).

Kate Hudson reminds me more and more of her mother every time I see her. Doing 60s dances just added to the effect.

The dancing & burlesque are good. "Moulin Rouge" and/or "Chicago" it ain't. Mostly boring, it is.

But it got me out of the house (and my pajamas) for 3 hours. Now I'm safe & warm, back in both of them.

Rum & coke wasn't cutting it. The FSM noodled unto me and said "have some f'ing champagne already"... so I am~~
