Or if you could recommend someplace that always does them well, that would be helpful. So rare that we eat out and I want some soft shell crab! TIA. 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Last year a family who lives in our building's daughter became a debutante at the Junior League Ball and they made it out to be a pretty big deal. What's the point of it? How old are girls usually when they do it (girl in our building was a freshman in college, I thought it to be something more for high school seniors?)? How much does it cost? Can anyone do it if they pay? Isn't there another Debutante ball as well in NYC? What's the difference between them? Sorry I'm not a NYC native and am just really curious!

[ - ] I often buy from places like H&M, Gap and Old Navy (especially for dd). I always do the clothing shopping for dd and me, but dh paid for the purchase last time and was shocked at how cheap the clothes were (I picked the stuff online and he gave me his credit card). He commented that there were probably some 8yo handicapped kids in Bangladesh making the clothes that we wear, that's the only way they can be so cheap. Anyway, that comment stuck, and I started paying more attention to the clothing labels. Thing is, even if I spend $60 on a dress for DD, rather than $7 at H&M, it's still made in a developing country. If it will really mean better labor and environmental standards, I can spend more. But if it just means a bigger markup, then no way. Anyone educated in this kind of thing? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

None, really. Our desire for cheap clothing currently far outweighs our concern for potential exploitation in developing countries. If you really are concerned, and want to DO something, then support a few groups that care, and are looking for change our perception - OUR perception, not change the corporates (they just give us what we want and are willing to pay for). That's the best you can do, and it's a lot. If everyone was on board with this, we could change it. But keep buying the clothes in the meantime; boycotting them will do nothing more than drive up your family budget. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Another feminist talking about Kate Middleton calling her "The Queen of Wags." (Wag is a term in England used to describe significant others of football players). I don't understand what they expect out of her - of course she has to be "boring" - she isn't given that much leniency in how she conducts herself and I think she's great. Classy and elegant and doing a damn good job for doing something I could never do. 13 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

np: How is she a gold digger? Her family's rich, just not aristocratic. I mean, they were together for years before they were married. They seem to be in love (but who really knows) and he has to have children, so they had to get married. Who knows, maybe the marriage was a big compromise for her ( media scrutiny; no career) but she did it because she loved him. You never know. [ Reply | More

She is very middle class, and this is why she is a good match for the monarchy. Her taste is very bourgeois and she clearly suffers from the same ED as his mother. She could have a career though- would be nice. [ Reply | More

Yes, I had an ectopic, almost lost my tube but didn't (had a d&c and was still pg, then they figured out it was ectopic!). Shortly after that, had to have surgery to remove a fibroid that was blocking the tube and also to correct a septum. 3 months post surgery, got pg with db! There were times I thought I would never be able to have a baby, especially during all the surgeries, so I understand. Just keep having faith and trying to focus on the positive (I know it sounds cliche, sorry!). Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. [ Reply | More

i would be most excited about attending an event at the pierre or the st regis. they are the nicest and also most expensive. the others are differing degrees of less nice/more run down. that being said, for a charity, my chief concern is NOT the niceness of the event. frankly, when it's too nice, i think the people organizing the event are doing it more for their own glory and less for the good of the charity (i.e. a ball in a medium room sends more money to the charity) so for a charity event, i'd pick something more reasonable like the waldorf or the plaza. just my two cents.

Just doesn't seem like all that big a deal compared to other things he could be doing. Anyone with me? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Even if you don't think the actual word is a big deal you should use it as a lesson on watching what comes out of your mouth and knowing that every word isn't for every where.
