I understand this, even though Joan is not my jam at all. As someone who has always been "the funny guy" sometimes it becomes frustrating to be taken seriously, to have one's beliefs understood. You can be serious all day long, but the minute you crack a joke it can all fall apart, as though being stoic was the spackle that held your legitimate argument together in the first place, rather than it making logical sense.

That's a great article to link to, by the way, and I'm glad you featured this Sadie. I liked her take on Woodstock as well ("And it was a wonderful three days; the music was great. I’m glad I was there. But it wasn’t the fucking revolution."), but the real treat is this nugget:

"I don’t think I was particularly happy. I think I was sort of dreamy."

I think a lot of people can identify with that distinction. Very cool interview.

Suddenly I am very happy I work at home. I am going to surprise my husband with a space-age pirate whore outfit.

Even as pure fantasy, this image of female-pasha-in-jumpsuit-of-many-colors-with-Christmas-ornament-earrings is so bizarre.

Who would want spend her day that way, even in 1966?

I adore the silver top and pants too. Clearly my style sense is trapped in the late 60s

I must confess I want everything about that jumpsuit outfit, and I don't care if it makes me a bad person.

I honestly thought in the teense thumbnail that this was J.Lo - which goes to say a lot about her fashion choices. Eh......

All I know is if I had every single one of those outfits, complete with background stylings, my life would be awesome.

My husband would run away screaming if I lounge in this. I'll bookmark the page, though, in case I ever need a night alone.

I would feel more like swaying in the breeze like an awning and less like jumping in the awning striped jumpsuit. But as hortense said, the only proper thing to do would be scream "Stop! Hammertime!"
