Damnit - I know that quote - I saw it recently and laughed out loud - it was said about a friend I think

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment - perhaps we've taken a few dives into the dark places here - but I think we're had some great discussion on clothing, fashion, what it means to society at large, what it means to us personally.

Frankly, I've gotten more out of this one than the President is Stupid Again threads - But I'd pick fashion over politics any day - that is my fashion statement for the night

^ quite correct. This is a long-running thread that indeed had some great philosophical discussion going. It's also been a snarky bitch-fest. It's LoT in a pot!

Heheh, the Fat thread also had some great, serious material amongst the flying insults and general mania. We are a fun bunch. A multi-faceted bunch. A very human bunch. But still heads above the proverbial rest. (imho)

You know, I like to think so, but there are times when I have my douts, and boy does it make me mad. Both because I dislike snarky bitch fests and because I am such a well-trained snarky bitch and I don't LIKE the fact that I am good at it. Plus, this is my oasis. If I wanted something different, I'd know where to go.

Being completely fashion-impaired, I've stayed (mostly) away from this thread. It is fun watching threads morph from one subject to another; often, the most benign subject can generate the most heat. Who knew fashion could be so dangerous?

Heehee! Is that your final answer to the part where I showed you also "feel the need to laugh snarkily at what others obviously enjoy"? We're all human, in the end.

Cheers to both iSm and €
