First, no habeas corpus. Now, no right to counsel?

What the fuck is going on with the world we live in?

Dinging my f-list, as well as the forum. 8)

Help, costuming gods and goddesses!

I’m looking for good links to information on clothing styles during the Roman Republic (I’m looking for clothing worn from about 100 BC to 1AD), and, if possible, links to reputable costumers. I don’t just need info on the dress style of the Romans, but also the Celts, Gauls, and Egyptians.

And… most importantly, I need to know what mode of dress was used in Hispania at that time.

I’m googling like mad, and my head is spinning. I know there are a lot of period costume gurus here on the forum, and I’d truly appreciate all the help I can get with this.

Thanks, all! =D

Now this is something BPAL would gladly sponsor.

I wish I had time to post more, both in reply and in rant-mode, but I’m totally swamped at the moment.

Its not like I didn’t expect this to happen, but I’ll toss out a mini rant anyway.

I know I constantly run the risk of alienating all my neocon clients by the links I post, and by airing my personal views on politics. However, I’m not the kind of person that’s willing to shut up and swallow my conscience because there’s a chance that Laura Bush may not wear Snake Oil if I flap my yap.

My only question tonight is… did Bush actually shit on his copy of the Iraq Study Report? This smells to me like this is all about an arrogant, spoiled, coke-headed little brat that hates his Internationalist father, and wants to show both his daddy and the whole fucking world that he can do whatever he pleases, regardless of the consequences.

While I’m waiting for the world to end, here’s some good times I’d like to share.
