Sins- I really think dangling earrings are so much more becoming...the little penguins suit you, or the singing nuns you're in the habit of wearing on song circle nights. Even though the cunning red lobstahs aren't all they're cracked up to be, they do allow your inner beauty to better shine than dangling participles.

I must, however, protest your recent characterization of myself as being a raw anything. In the words of one Mehitabel,

"one life up and the next life
down archy but always a lady
through it all"
