Yes we can. To coin a phrase.
Careful. Someone might steal that off you.

I wasn't going to get into this either because like Emma says, I feel like we've had this conversation over and over again. However.
OK, sorry, what? Desperately hoping this is sarcasm or something like it.
I believe she was responding to this statement of Richard's:
Not only that, Emma seems remarkably blase about the risk of trafficking -- just what percentage of trafficked women in this hundred a year would constitute a problem for her?
Which does seem a little unfair.
Here's what it boils down to to me. It's just possible there are women in Iceland who enjoy stripping. Who like doing it, for whom the hours are convenient, and the money is good. And who don't want to do it in some seedy room in the back of a bar, or in even more dangerous situations.
Banning it forces those women underground, and into potential harm. AND it does nothing to help the women who weren't happy in their jobs.
The least we can do, if it is a general principle to Take Women Seriously, is to assume that this also applies to women who actually have majority legislative power and dare to use it.
But we can think they're wrong, right? And be annoyed when what they do is held up as a Big feminist Triumph?

Um, yes. I constantly need to be put up to things. That's why Megan is such a bad influence on me.
Hey! No fair maligning me like that when I'm not here to defend myself. And remind you that I do no influencing. I will concede to the slightly lesser charge of gently nudging in the direction of bad behaviour.
I'd love to... but where are the juvenile jokes about us having breakfast together the first time around? Is everyone feeling okay today?
Well, like I say, I wasn't here to lower the tone.
I'd like to comment on the extremely good post (or posts, including Gio's), but you all have done it for me.

It would if we were allowed to use the surging undead. Time for a new ELV?
By the next World Cup Brad Thorn may have started looking like the undead, after all.

As Danielle said on another thread:
Am I the only person who thinks it looks like a sea of rugby-supporting undead?

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

And it is truly unforgivable that any woman should have to "make" a gown work. If an outfit is distracting from, or even working against, a woman's beauty then it has failed.
Craig, have I told you recently how much I love you?

Let's just say that my current options are limited and leave it at that.)
I started work at 5am. I take no responsibility for what I am wearing.
I need someone to break out something weird and amazing on a regular basis, and I thought the Saldana frock did the job.
Ah, see I didn't. I just saw wierd and mismatched. But maybe that's because I haven't seen Avatar (gasp!) and don't know anything about her, so can't tell if she has the Swintonesque personality to pull off awesomely crazy.

Cough....
Yeah, but Bjork still looked pretty.
-
total red carpet disaster'...
I too love the Bjork dress, and every year since I've lamented there's no one ballsy enough to try to trump her.
On the Zoe dress, i could have handled the shower scrubbers on the bottom, if the bodice matched. But it looks like she's wrapped a skirt around a really nice cocktail dress.
God, I love the way Danielle and I can make any conversation about fashion.
