On On Organ Donation
@Party Falcon OH and don't forget, no matter how unsuitable YOU think you are as a donor, sign up anyway. You might have pickled your liver and ignored the crap out of your cardiovascular health, but that doesn't mean your kidneys and whatever else aren't just perfect for two other people! Signing up to be a donor doesn't mean they'll HAVE to take your organs, it just gives a professional the opportunity to evaluate them and take what is medically appropriate.
We've got a lot of 70 year olds on our list who wouldn't mind a 75 year old kidney in the least, but those 75 year olds feel like they're too old to bother to donate. Which is silliness, let the surgeons do their jobs. No 6 year old is going to get a 60 year old kidney, but a 65 year old would do great with it, you know?

On On Organ Donation
@packedsuitcase Oh, that is just the hardest prejudice to overcome in terms of organ donation and it makes me so sad. If people like your grandmother could see the number of forms and checks and double-checks that need to happen before an OPO team is even called in? She would understand that something like that couldn't NEVER happen.

Do it. Do it. Do it.
It's so cheesy, but y'all, one person can make SUCH a difference and save the lives of so many. Say yes when you renew your license or ID card and TELL your loved ones. Mwah! PartyFalcon Kisses to all of you!
(And on a related note: Helmets on Motorcyles, at all times. Unless you enjoy playing Organ Donor Roulette, then, by all means, proudly wield your bare melon.)

On Happy National Cleavage Day
Thank you for this knowledge, Edith. I will both dust my fancy rock pile AND sally forth with some spectacular cleavage this evening. (Even though we're only having pizza and beer.)
(And who are we kidding, every day is cleavage day for PF. Errbody wants to stroke my breast feathers. )

@Third Wave Housewife Kiddo, a moment of Real Talk, even if you hate PF a little for it:
You are having the world's worst period right now, right? Hormones fuck your shit up and I'm pretty sure they're doing a number on you.
Your dude is probably all of the things you are hating right now. It's clearly been bothering you from some recessed place for a while and you haven't want to deal. But sugarplum, now isn't the time. Hang on to some of these things, of course! Don't let them go back into hiding! Just give yourself some time to get through Period Hell, first, okay?
And I will totally Overnight-Saturday-Delivery FedEx you some Soft Scrub, if it will help!

(Also, can I tell you how I delight in the line "Food everywhere just like the party was catered"? Because...you're R.Kelly. What else would it be? Potluck? )

@Third Wave Housewife Darling, darling dearest. You need to rage, blow off some steam! Revel in the grouchy! Put your bitch pants on and declare it to the world.
And then, you know, save the life-changing decisions for another day, 'cause you know deep down you're cranky and viewing your life through a prism of haterade.

@Lemonnier I fully support all bouffants and backcombing!
First, pick your shape, madam. You say bouffant, but that word can mean so very many things! Are you going for a full-on bubble tease and flip? Or are you going for some height and then a sexy, messy pony/up-do? Perhaps something up but sleeker? The classic side-sweep, headband, high crown? So pick that first!
Then practice getting your tease even all over. It's hard, as silly as that is. Make sure you overlap your teased sections, so you don't have little spaces between each. Utilize the comb more so than the hairspray and experiment with hair tools. I find that I like to start with a brush to backcomb to get good all-over volume and then use a fine teasing comb to get dramatic spot volume. As for hairspray, I would HIGHLY recommend Elnet, but you WILL smell ... vintage, let's call it. So it might not be your bag.
As for the dry-shampoo, etc. It really depends on your hair. While I adore it for when my hair gets greasy around Day 4 of a blowout, I find it makes my hair dirtier and hate to use it until I have to. But! That said, if your hair is less than thick, you might find it super useful.
Good luck! And remember when combing out, use small gestures, start at the bottom and work up. And if all else fails, shower, coat your hair in the thickest conditioner you have and detangle as gently as you can with your widest tooth comb.
work on getting even heighth around 'round your head, it's harder than it looks.
