@curiousgeorgiana: YAY! You know, I would love to see a Jezebel article discussing race relations and gay marriage. I say this because the two dissenting votes here in D.C. were cast by representatives from minority areas (7 and 8) who said that they were pushed by ministers and their constituents to vote against it.
I believe there was some talk about it when Prop 8 passed but I don't remember whether there was a real discussion about it. Correct me if I am wrong.
@Zombies make the heart grow fonder: Here's an article from today's WaPo that talks about how religious and generational influences divide DC African-Americans on the gay marriage issue and whether its worthy of comparison to the civil rights movement: [www.washingtonpost.com]
@tobesthewonderdog: His statement directed at gay and lesbian residents of DC:
"It's not fair to make this one issue a litmus test as to one's commitment to human rights, to justice, and I resent those who would make it a litmus test."
@mondon: it's so crazy, i live in london and have been here for many years... plus i go to Topshop oxford street basically every few days (i like pain) ... on april 1st im going to new york for the first time so i will be able to actually see this new topshop... im going to compare and make notes.
@bleedingmouths: Check if they have the Freedom jewellery line. My sister works for their parent company and I'm curious if they're shipping their stuff (some of the best-selling stuff in TopShop) or if Phillip Green is only taking the TopShop core.
I was surprised how much of their Oxford Street store was Concessions too...
@aisuru113: You find me a brick-and-mortar store that carries my size, and not just granny-velcro or Payless plastic/hooker plastic/Avenue plastic crap, and I will be one GIGANTIC happy camper.
I was once rejected whilst trying to pick up a British boy with his saying "I only date the kind of girls that shop at Topshop, so you're not really my type."
I found it a little baffling, but maybe that's what he was going for.
Karl Lagerfield always makes me feel ashamed, as if he caught me doing something naughty. I think it probably has to do with my utter inability to look fierce or not like a five year old at any give time. Also, I was just fingerpainting on his office walls.
@lilbobbytables: he scares me a little. he's always in black, he's got the white hair in a dracula pompadour, and he might have the ability to turn one to stone by looking at them. maybe that's why he always wears dark glasses? i don't know.
@everydaybrogues: they do ship to canada! but sometimes canadian customs tack on loads of taxes so its a tiny bit risky! Well, not risky if you dont mind paying taxes twice over!
@DutchessOfDork: We appear to have been reading the same kind of books recently. I purse my lips up at modern good time gals but avidly read about the mistresses of Kings in the past with nary a tut tut.
Madame de Pomadour may have stopped being the King's mistress through ill-health but she remained both his friend and his procuress until her own early death.

Passed by a vote of 11-2. Should be noted that Marion Barry was a dissenting vote. I will be so happy to see that man disappear from public life.
Now Archdiocese-- don't be assholes and withdraw your social services. The people still need the support you provide.

Louise O'Murphy was a temporary fling that was from Parc Aux Cerfs (essentially a brothel) set up by Pompadour.
