Party Post Mortem
We had a little party this weekend with many of my favorite people. Much good food was brought and enjoyed, I drank more than my fair share of berry blood orange sangria, and many brave souls pitched themselves against gravity on the Twister mat.

The quest for big 80s hair products
Does anyone have any suggestions for good kinds of really strong hold hair gels or hair sprays? Or techniques for turning normally fine, flat hair into ridiculous poofy 80s hair?

Post-Party Post
First off, I would like to tip my proverbial hat to all the fine folks who joined us for our winter warmies pajama party this weekend - thanks for making it a fabulous night all around. We ended up with a respectable crowd of 22 and got to see many lovely faces that we had been missing for a while. Robes and PJs were sported by nearly all, and we ( Read more... )
