    The model for #13 must have been thrilled to have the opportunity to rock the granny panties on the runway.

    I don't understand the first three. Number four makes sense if one were to remove the puffy, sheer-yet-feathered sleeves.
    Number seven needs to re-locate the bra/necklace to the acutal bosom.
    I find the white lines on number eleven are quite elegant- That is, until I saw the midriff cutout. What.. is that for?

    Number seventeen will be my Halloween Costume: Xena Does Aerobics.

    Ultimately: What? When? Why?! How was this inspired? How long did it take to prepare? I will not believe anything more than two weeks.

    @Sanfo: Basically these same exact questions went through my head too. I see no inspiration, no real fluidity, not even a lot of THOUGHT.

    Apparently #10 forgot her pants and decided to wear her purse instead.

    All that's missing is the interlocking C's.

    On a positive note, I really like the hair on the moddles. Very natural and pretty for the most part.

    Number 8 is most assuredly not for real. It looks like someone sewed it together back stage. What an odd collection.

    Wow. just... wow. It is a collection, and it is cohesive, but I'm not sure it it's wearable unless GaGa is your second name... That being said, I do kind of enjoy how the purse in #17 looks a bit like a football - it goes nicely with the linebacker-esque shoulders created by the boustier-cum-sweatshirt.

    I've taken prescriptions before that specifically said to avoid grapefruit juice on the warning label - antibiotics i think. it kind of scared me off of it for good, considering I'm on the nuva ring, take asthma med and anti-depressants. and here i always thought grapefruits were just dangerous for their tendency to blind you :)

    Dudes, I've been told for numerous medications to avoid grapefruit juice (specifically) or Vitamin C (large doses...which is easier to do than you think).


    If you're curious which medications those are, pm, as I don't feel so keen on listing the cabinet of treasures I've encountered at some point in my life.

    @everydaybrogues: as in easier to get a 100% requirement of vitamin c than you think, not easier to avoid.


    It seems this child is all sorts of incoherent today.

    Ok first, 800 calories a day is stupid! I'm sorry but it just isn't smart at all.


    Anyway, they actually should do as they do in the UK and not even give out estrogen contraceptive pills to begin with. I was on ortho tri cyclen, I have THREE (count them THREE) mutations that cause me to clot more than normal and I had a stroke from a blood clot at 22. I had just moved to the UK for grad school, and the first thing I learned is they don't give out any estrogen BC--not even in the morning after pills--because they know the clotting effects it has.


    Most people won't know they have that kind of mutation until it's too, so if you're that concerned just get off the combo pills. It can lead to loads of problems anyway.


    And having grapefruit in normal doses with a healthy diet won't do anything that extreme. However, if you are taking blood pressure medication then grapefruit is a BIG no no. Well most acidic stuff is. However, grapefruit really isn't that bad. I would be more concerned with leafy greens. They REALLY cause some clotting issues, which makes me sad as I'm a major spinach lover. Just gotta do it in moderation/small doses.

    @filthygorgeous: Were there any signs of this predisposition to clots before you had a stroke?


    That is scary. If I go for 2 days without sleeping (i have problems with sleep), my leg starts to go numb in a line down my calf. If I go to sleep this goes away. But I wonder if this is a blood clot. Should I be worried?


    I'm on estrogen based birth control pills, but this happened before I went on them. It only happens if I go for etreme amounts of time without sleep.

    @aShinyGumWrapper: I kind of doubt it, since usually people get blood clots when they haven't moved much, like riding in a plane for 20 hours or something. Not sleeping sounds kind of like the opposite of that. When I don't get enough sleep, my legs don't go numb, but they frequently have a dull ache. However, I am not a doctor so you shouldn't listen to me.

    @filthygorgeous: They won't prescribe any Estrogen ONLY pills, however they will prescribe combined as I was on those for a good few years.
