I'm sure there are lots of women who'd take Van over Jethro. (Not literally.) Women who like caring, sensitive men. Nice guys, who'd do anything for you. I didn't nearly fall asleep just typing that or anything.
Yeah, I'm sure those women are out there. I just...don't know any.
I am going to stay up. Late (for me) on a school night. I am very excited.

The funny thing is, if you took about 5 phrases (like "unwanted sex") out of the column, I'd be pretty close to agreeing with her.

How have I survived all these years as a flaming faggot, without the restraining balm of a slutty (yet demure) angel of the hearth to keep my bestial instincts under control?
Well, you know I am always here for you, darling.
I really don't want to start this fight again, because I feel like we've been having it for a couple of years now. So, um, isn't that a cute cat?
ETA: Stephen -- stop poking the angry lady.
Hey!

If you're going to just wantonly click on any old link you deserve everything you get. It's just common sense.
Oh my god, Stephen, you are right! God. I should stop being such a victim. Wait, no, I am confused.
To confound my stupidity, I read the "reader comments". Now I hate myself, the internet, and the world.

The Herald is full of it
Oh, crap. I saw all the tweeting about that on Sunday, and had managed to avoid actually reading it. Then I clicked on your link, and now I have a sore head. From all the banging, you see.

Cause bobbed hair styles or carefully coiffed back buns are all the rage/de riguer?
I dont know just asking. I just can't imagine flowing locks being anything that one would be seen in public wearing.Darn tooting. A low bun is acceptable, but yes, the streaked blonde crisp bob is really the gold standard.
(I am being so mean to these women. I'm really very fond of some of them.)

David, a quick survey of the office tells me it happens in lots of rural places.
I asked my mum, who has lived in Canterbury her whole life, and she said she remembers it starting in the '60s, and it was known as a Merivale thing, and a "country wife comes to town" thing.
She says "when you look at those rural stores, like Wrightsons and Pynes (PGG), that's what they sell. Aertexes and moleskins and things."
And she points out that it is warmer, having your collar up. She's a good mum.
For me, as a boarder at a Christchurch private school, it was just what we did. I did rebel eventually. I moved to linen shirts.

(My departmentstorophilia was both stoked and soothed by being allowed to participate in constructing this beauty last week, which had been lovingly saved up for since before Christmas).
Love!
Pink Aertex? Fob chain? Respect!
Pink? Pfft. Far too avant-garde. Navy blue and burgundy, I'll have you know. I can't remember if I actually had a fob chain, but definitely something fob chain adjacent.

Oh! Jolisa, but I love Ballantynes. So pretty, so many gorgeous things, including the new Contemporary Lounge, with the makeup and the clothes, and oh, the bags. So many fond memories if getting school uniforms and buying birthday presents. I wish I hadn't cut up my ballantynes card.
No, I don't work there, though I once did. And even that didn't put me off it.
There is much I wish to disown about the city of my birth. But if I could transplant Ballys for Kirks*, I would be a happy happy girl.
Well, and all the people I love down there.
I just completely outed myself of being of the upturned collar persuasion, didn't I. Fine! I once owned an Aertex. And chunky silver jewellery. And went out with a College boy. AND a STAC boy.
* Kirks being a poor second cousin of Ballantynes. Cramped and dark and the staff are awful. If MAC wasn't located there, I would never go.

The way I look at it, life's like a game of rugby. And money's the way you keep score."
Is this a common mode of thought in Chch?
Yes..
Look, if you are going to keep being mean about my family, the least you can do is invite me to the party.
as if Upper Hutt were Gomorrah or something.
But this is also how the Hutt is viewed in Wellington, yes?
Yes.
