Hi there, buttercups! It’s been a wild, wild week in California, but guess what? It’s a little bit cold outside, and I’m excited about cooking again!

See a comment that needs to be here? Let me know! I’m [at] queer girl on Autostraddle and [at] queergirlblogs on Twitter!
silk pjs as outerwear is INSPIRING
It is…until you see seven people wearing them at your community college on the same day.
silk? wow community college has really changed since my day :-D
Don’t forget that community college isn’t just for people who can’t afford regular college. It’s also for people who didn’t do well enough to get into regular college. That’s probably why all of those women could also afford those jacked-up trucks.
oh i LOVED community college and would very much have done all four years there if i could, but people there were definitely much more into the flannel PJs than the silk :-D
Apologies to Christina Tucker but I didn’t even realize until I re-saw her comment here that “That’s a Mommi” was probably a riff on “that’s amore.” Making this clear for anyone else who didn’t clue in. ;)
I just want Scorpia, Catra, and Entrapta to be good to each is that ok
me too, snow, ME TOO
Ahem I meant “to be good to each OTHER”, clearly I got a little excited but you knew what I meant didn’t you
Thanks!! I just want to extend my awardedness to the whole “no shoes in bed” comment thread, people had VERY strong opinions and it was an important time for the whole community :)
I would, in fact, jump up and down on my bed declaiming my opinion like Cruise on Oprah
I would be clean and freshly showered though, and probably naked
so true
No shoes in bed. Ever!
I think that needs to be reiterated in every comment thread on here.
Unless, of course, you come wearing your sex shoes fresh from the box and untainted by the sins of the outside world.
Sex Shoes by Nike
Just do it
They are forfeiting a HUGE market by leaving that on the table.
Also, no shoes on the table, do I have to say it? They come off at the door.
😂😂😂 Please take all future comment awards
I don’t like Nike though, much prefer Dike
Well that’s your sub-market branding strategy right there
“Dike – Just Do Her”
“But don’t wear them in bed because gross how where you raised”
Gives new meaning to tongue of the shoe
dammit get those howler monkeys in here again
they should follow you around and jump out howling after every zinger
lolz
I have a t-shirt that says Dyke; just do it
I support that choice of spelling
Please tell me it’s in the same font as Nike uses with the check mark and everything.
Lex it absolutely IS: complete with Nike swoosh :D
I’m DELIGHTED thank you
Adding in effusive praise for this goddess-worthy comment.
Nod of subtle pun acknowledgement for “Peak Performance Award”
I AM SEEN

I’ve been in here twice and it made me ridiculously happy!
i am so happy when you all are happy! <3 :-D
High fives all around
IVE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS MOMENT SINCE I WAS 14
WOO
So I take it Shoes in Bed got no traction
Guess I’ll toe the line

Hi-top soft butch, at your service !
You don’t just Chuck these out, do you? You really Taylor them to your audience

There is precedent from the days of Bren and also Carrie
