• Commented on High Heels, The Pain Ritual
  I love high heels, but don't wear them much since we moved to a place up a hill. Walking uphill is tricky in heels, but walking downhill is ridiculous. When I really want to wear heels to an event now,...
• Commented on Tenant Troubles: My Landlord Is Selling My Building, How Pessimistic Should I Be?
  Hey, ttt, there is "market rate" and there is insanity. Rent on one bedroom apartments has DOUBLED in the last 2 years, say from $1800 to $3600. That is a steep change in such a short period of time. San...

• Commented on Hats And The Key to Life
  I once had a wedding to attend in Bristol, England. As a lady, you simply cannot show up at a wedding in the UK without a proper hat. Wearing a giant meringue on a 9 hour flight was not going...
• Commented on Gownportunities: Fancy Friscytown Fun for 2013
  To be fair, I was wont to carry a wee makeup kit with me when I was out on the tiles, so as to tidy up my makeup a wee bit before hopping on the 22 Fillmore mid-day to get...

• Commented on Your Life Is An Occasion Worth Dressing Up For
  I try to dress up whenever I go out, particularly at night. I am inspired by the sight of elderly men and women in tasteful coats and hats that I see occasionally. I figure if they can make the effort...
• Commented on The Beths Hit The Red Carpet For Start Ups: Silicon Valley (Video)
  Thanks for letting me see what Hollywood has made of the Geek Kingdom of the South Bay. Don't think I can watch it though, cause some of those voices were nails-on-chalkboard....
• Commented on Jury Begins Deliberations In Mistaken-Identity Triple Homicide
  Reyes is in South Carolina? Really? Last time I checked California & South Carolina had extradition treaties. I am only too sure South Carolina authorities would be keen to give up such a charming fella. The only survivor of the...
• Commented on "No Hope" For Gold Dust Lounge; Last Pour On March 6
  I was at the Gold Dust for the press conference yesterday, and the "spokesman" for Handlery seemed to take great pleasure in antagonizing the crowd. Add that to the contemptuous interview Handlery himself gave to the Chron, and you've got...
• Commented on Questions Raised About Reasons Behind Eviction Of Gold Dust Lounge
  Talked this story over with a friend who worked for years brokering commercial real estate and her first question was "how can a business with a valid lease be evicted without cause?" So does the Gold Dust Lounge actually have...

• Commented on Many SF Polling Places Ghost Towns, How Was Yours?
  @salsaman Normally it is not the standard I would hold a business to, but if someone is supporting Ed Lee I have to assume they are as corrupt as he is and/or they got their business license by paying somebody...
• Commented on Many SF Polling Places Ghost Towns, How Was Yours?
  I voted at 8:30am in Noe Valley. It was pretty quiet. Folks seemed to be rolling in one at a time. Took the lady who was working a few minutes to get to me however, cause she was doing data...
• Commented on 2 Legit 2 Attribute: Apparent Copyright Gaffe In "Viral" Ed Lee Video
  I continued to be floored that otherwise intelligent San Franciscans profess support for this stooge of Rose Pak's who is surrounded by dishonest supporters who have no respect for the law. Recall that he has not accepted public funds, which...
• Commented on Community Reaction To SFPD Shooting Of Man During Muni Fare Inspection Continues
  A felon, in violation of his parole, and wanted in connection for a murder in another state. Not the person I would rally around as representing my "community". I must also question the unfortunate young man on his judgement. Why...
• Commented on Muni Operators And Taxi Drivers Planning Coordinated, 24-Hour Strike
  Really? I thought the Taxi strike was last Saturday evening, when I could not get a cab to save my life....
• Commented on Regular Service Restored After Protests Disrupt BART Service At Powell, Civic Center, 16th Street Stations (Slideshow And Video)
  Afraid the protestors gained my eternal enmity when they interfered with the commute of people who are actually working for a living. The wealthy and powerful do not ride BART. People who work for a living do. What's more, anyone...
• Commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
  I rarely read comments on SFGate anymore as the quality of discourse is so incredibly base and childish. Most of the comments have almost nothing to do with the article they are commenting about. Its all "wacky SF" BS. I...

• Commented on SF Man Once Known As "Worst Husband In The World" Wants You To Know It Was An Act
  Funny thing is, I live in the Noe, and recall when Fowler made such a stink. My friends in the neighborhood had occasion to meet him socially before the show was ever broadcast, and he was described as a self-important...
• Commented on Things San Franciscans Like: Food
  "Almost vegan" is indeed, very San Franciscan. What I love is the savvy waitperson who grasps that many a strident vegetarian has a little bacon habit on the side. They don't call it the gateway meat for nothing......
• Commented on Things San Franciscans LOVE: Christmas Tree Genocide
  Perhaps join the xmas tree burn next year, and send those noble trees to their fiery death just like Viking lords of old....
• Commented on Things San Franciscans Like: Nopa
  Hilarious!!! I had to share this with a bunch of my friends who live in the Western Addition. We have a tentative date to eat at Nopa in January. Not every night you can experience a branch of modern French...
• Commented on Post Giants Celebration Got Intense Last Night, But Was It A "Riot"?
  The mood in the Mission last night was jubilant and friendly. Folks brought out their fancy cars, kids, and grandparents to roll down Mission St honking and cheering. Lots of hugs, high-fives, and "Timmy" chants. We walked from 24th to...
• Commented on Things SFians Like: The Difference Between "Real" Giants Fans And The Other 99.9% Of The City
  I have no issue with bandwagon fans. Its bringing this city together in ways almost nothing, save a natural disaster can. Heartbreak is the normal lot in life for baseball fans who don't root for the Yankees. Once people fall...
