Huh, I actually like the clothes in the photo. They’ve got a neat, mid-sxities, _Down with Love_ sort of feel. I’d buy the black and pink houndstooth coat… ---

Hehe, maybe I’m thinking of someone else. Now that I think of it, my husband’s nickname was EatsLegos. His mommy made the best glue frosted Lego cake I have ever tasted! ---
