Fools, it be almost 9:30.

I'm going for my first bikini wax on Thursday. Yikes! Y'all don't know how badly I want to shop. Gap has the cutest little striped '70s bag and J Crew has this one shoulder tank I want and a dress and a fun pool hat. It's all too much.

Hi girls!

371 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA 02115

Hmm. Clothes. Vegas. I'm thinking for Saturday night, my rockstar shoes, a black halter and black skirt. And shiny lip gloss. I wore it to Lucinda and felt good in it.

Oh, one of my readers has an in at Stila and wants to send me free stuff. Suggestions?

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

Free Stila?? Why do you need suggestions. TAKE IT!

I'm bringing 2 black skirts, I'll probably live in them.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

DAMMIT. My email sucks. It never sends, I have tor eboot my computer after I've already turned it on - pisses me off.

I'm bringing my pink cashmere halter top, my shiny black pants, my happy fun pants, a few more halter tops - basically, I plan on bringing anything I'd otherwise wear to the Clermont Lounge.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

T - that's the perfect way to think about it. Vegas is just one big ole Clermont Lounge.

I'm looking for a cute happy fun shopping day outfit. I really want this dress from J Crew, but I doubt it would even look good on me.

The Yankee wedding was actually really nice. Lots of odd European people, but that's okay. Western Mass is beautiful - I had no idea. Connecticut was a trip - I met many Anulewicz's.

What day is shopping day? I forgot about that - I should have bought that cute Ralph Lauren sundress that was on sale at Nordstrom last night. It was too big, though. God, y'all. So many beautiful outfits, but even on sale, the one I really wanted was $800. Which is totally out of the question.

Lord. $800? Jaysus.

I know. Free Stila. How cool is that?

I think Friday is shopping day? I don't know. I just wanta cute daytime outfit too.

Oh, then I won't worry about Friday. What will Saturday be?

A giant Clermont Lounge? Sweet.

The Stila lip glosses are pretty cool.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

I have one of them. Can't remember which.

We can be flexible on the shopping day.

Oh, and my parents weren't flooded too badly. It sucked being flooded in, but it had receded to the curb by Sunday, at least. And my parents also have the Mormon emergency food supply so even if they were flooded in for weeks, the family would have plenty to eat.

Yeah, we can shop Saturday too or whatever. There's no schedule. I just want quality time with the flamingos.

I want quality time with the poolside daiquiris. Do you think they have waiters who come to your chair? They do at the rooftop pool in Boston.

Oh, I'm sure. They'd HAVE to, right? I think in one of the pools there's a swim up bar.

Oh, see, that's genius. The rooftop pool doesn't let you drink in the bar.

Lord, am I an idiot. You meant suggestions for Stila products. I too, am a big fan of the all over shimmer. I've just learned to never put in on my eyelids as it runs into my eyes and major stinging commences. But they have that new Eye Glaze which l looks kind of cool. They also have a Stila Body Shimmer whihc is scented and excellent. AND they have Stila Sport and all of those products are perfect for the girl on the go.

I want your readers. Damn.

Now, are the drinks free everywhere, or just in the casino itself? That's a question that's been at the top of my mind.

Only in the casino. But they're regular priced elsewhere, which surprised me.

Why must J Crew be so expensive. WHY.

The epinions on the Flamingo Hilton had it at 3.5 stars out of 5. About what I expected. The number one Con is that it's a slow/old casino. But I don't expect we'll really hang there much besides sleeping and the pool. There are much better/more exciting casinos. (And dollar craps and blackjack!) But the pool area is 15 acres. That's so cool!

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

Ooh, that's cute. You know what I don't like about the J Crew site, though? The pictures of their dresses look so frumpy, even when the dress isn't. They should put the dresses on models, or a dummy, or something, already.

Oh! Precious dress.

Kevin asked me Sunday "Did you tell Hannah to send me birthday present suggestions?" and I said "No, why, did she send you the earrings from Tiffany's that are like figure eights with pearls inside the open spaces?" So I covered the earrings I couldn't find a link to, too. Heh.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

Hee.

I'm fond of this outfit - what do y'all think of the color? It looks like a deep fuscia - would it be appropriate for the wedding this weekend? I was going to go with a shorter skirt, but seeing that it's our first outing with my family as an engaged couple, I thought I might go with a longer skirt. I bet I could wear this for a shower, too.

You're crazy. That cracks me. He probably thinks I'm insane.

I'm not a big fan of J Crew overall. I think they're WAY overpriced. Like that one-shoulder tank (that I love.) It's cotton. It's SIXTY dollars.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

Oh, J Crew is totally over priced. I think BR is expensive, but the quality of their stuff is better than the J Crew stuff. Plus, if they mark the item down within two weeks (and they always do, they'll give you the difference. I love that.

Go pick out a silver pattern already, Hannah. T thinks you'll like Repousse by Kirk Steiff, but I'm betting on something simpler, like Towle's Fiddle Thread.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

I think I've settled on Royal Danish, by International. There will always be a special place in my heart for Acorn, by Georg Jensen, but it's $180 vs. $660 for a place setting, and if I go with Royal Danish, I'll be able to concentrate on collecting asparagus servers and olive forks, rather than just place settings.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

I think that if I ever can afford to collect enough Chrysanthemum place settings, I will look for a complimentary pattern for asparagus servers, etc. My love for Chrysanthemum runs too deep.

But Royal Danish is SO similar. It's hardly a compromise.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

I know. I mean, the knife handle on Acorn is exquisite, but Royal Danish is so similar. And I'll be able to have so many more pieces, and I'm sure there's more estate silver, too.

I think I'll take an early lunch to hit Ann Taylor.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

There are so many! I didnt' see the one T thought I would like.

Alencon Lace is very similar to what my mom has. I like that.

But how do you choose? It would take me weeks to look at every pattern that way.

-- Anonymous, June 12, 2001

You know your pattern when you see it. It's true. The same goes for china - I never saw a pattern that struck me until I caw Chinois Blue by Mottahedeh last week. I saw it, and that was that.

Of course, our crystal will be Lismore by Waterford - it's what boto our mothers have. That one was a no-brainer.

"They said that according to the contract with the car, I have to be in school for four years. My dad told me I need to read the contract I had signed. So, after I got off the phone with him, I marched out to get the damn contract, because I knew it didn't say shit about four years. I read it again, and I was right. The four thousand I owe them is set up to be paid so much a month over four years, and it says that I have to maintain status as a full-time college student with passing grades. It doesn't say I have to be a college student for four fucking years. Yes, the plan when I got the car was that I would go for four years, but well, plans change."

Um, yes, that does say you have to be a college student for the four years while you are paying them back. Brat.
