Damn, do I ever love how Milla Jovovich said "Cheekan" in that movie. I loved her outfit, too.

I love me some Tim Gunn, too, but he's never touching my beloved boho/Stevie Nicks/gothlite wardrobe. The nicest thing about him, though, is the fact that he waits to be invited. I appreciate that about his show as opposed to all the shows where people are turned in by their nearest and dearest for their lack of fashion sense and then hijacked and bullied by the show. But Tim can have my cut-down-to-there stretch velvet Guenivere gown when he pries it from my cold, dead fingers.

What fun is fashion sans whimsey? There's a reason I adore Elsa Schiaparelli so. Her pork chop hat alone would have my heart forever, but then she went on to design a suit with pockets that looked like drawers with little knobs instead of buttons!

I won't hang where clothes aren't fun.

Different groups need different things from different communities. And every sandbox has its own rules. I'm truly glad that you haven't had a lot of nasty troll traffic, but I know from experience that you don't have to have any potentially oppressive rules for them to strike. It's happened to me. May your luck continue, because I wouldn't wish trolls on anyone. I really wouldn't wish them on you, because, hey, I love this blog to pieces and back again. I love how free-wheeling it is and how I might find one day that you're talking about health issues, another about awesome clothes, and yet another about great sex and what you had for lunch. That's one of the things that makes this blog so shiny.

And I now discover that the bad Peter Lorre voice I was using in my head for Cheeken is incorrect.

I bow my head in shame. Then giggle.

Shannon, I think your point about everyone having their own sandbox as it were is a really good one. I've often struggled with the diet talk/no diet talk dichotomy, and I decided that I wouldn't allow it on my blog because it triggered me personally, and I didn't want to read about it because of the same reason, so I kept blogs that were diet talk -friendly off my personal feeds.

In the end, each blog in the FA community (and any other community) is unique, as its bloggers are each unique. Certain places one should avoid talking about politics. Other places it's encouraged (if you have the right set!). Some places are better to talk about religion, and others brush it off. Some are healthist and talk endlessly about HAES, exercise minutes, and food cravings. Others don't. And so forth.

Great post.
