Yay!
This is very much what many people want said.
I want this said.

Hard News: An excellent evening in Newtown, in reply to Hilary Stace,
I did not see that swan or talk to you this time, which is a shame...
...but the event was the right thing at the right time.

That is making me green with envy, I was rudely joining the #ogb stream while I was otherwise engaging in Welly (Twitter: enabling rude biatchz since 2006).
I would love to make the next one, or you guys could do one in Welly again....

Well I saw a guy in stubbies and gumboots with nice big tree trunk legs in the Brooklyn dairy. Strangely compelling in an urban environment.

A bit late to the meat market but if you are going to adopt an intellectual pose, less po mo and more shy cardigan please.
Baudrillard, Bathes and Derrida are for real men.
Without wishing to re-start the po-mo wars, none of that has ever seemed shaggable to me.
I used to be a philosophy student so I really hate blowhards talking about those three philosophers, well any philosopher to be honest. A little Heidegger or Schopenhauer is ok but I would rather talk about surfing or urban design, or art for that matter.
Also, along these lines, I sort of want to add The Giles. Distinguished, greying, glasses, sensitive, geeky, can wear a well-cut suit OR a cardigan. Repressed enough to suggest that... well, they're repressing something really interesting.
"Repressing something really interesting", now you are talking!

RT @jolisa Kind of sweet that this thread began with the rallying cry "Boobs!" and has wound its way round to a collective sigh of "Mummy"... #cute

Yes really what Sacha said. Because this is not a case of:
if we all "choose" the same thing, then there is very little space for anyone to "choose" anything else.
Boobquake doesn't strike me as an unthinking part of that which makes woman think that they must be one way or another.
Rather it seems like something that might push us to think about what constitutes 'immodest' for ourselves and other people, even if it is in a lighthearted way. It is a context thing, and for me the context is lighthearted and mocking. -
Yep me too.
I was merino-clad from head to toe on the day but was very much with you all in spirit. I talked to all of the women in my office about it and had a great conversation about the fact that is was not ”all about boobs" but about dressing immodestly within the range that you were comfortable for yourself to poke fun and to enjoy your right to dress how the hell you please.
Boobs are nice. Feminism is a Good Thing. Emma is appreciated exactly as she is.

Hi Sue,
You are very brave to expose yourself like that.
This beneficiary bashing makes me so sad and angry. There is no rational basis to it and I have experienced the "dream" of DPB and unemployment benefit up close and personal myself. Well, those that voted for National should not be surprised that they are mining this particular vein of "mainstream NZ" sentiment.

Oh Stephen C, am reading your Invisible Boy link, had to take a digestion break after a third, but so far it really hard hitting and I feel that I am learning something.
