R.I.P. LiP

    Never heard of any of these rags.  But if you think they have some importance, I’ll take your word for it. 

    But if the radical Leftist small press is in decline, the radical Leftist large press is also in decline: NYT, WaPo, LAT, not to mention CBS, NBC, and ABC.

    Don’t do like your predecessors, Lenin and Stalin.  They robbed banks to finance revolutionary activities.  Not very moral of them, but then they did not claim morality anyway.  Just as you don’t.

    But you cannot steal your way to revolution as they did, and you can’t propagandize your way to revolution because no one is buying, and no one is going to elect you.

    So sad.  RIP.

    Perhaps there is a hobby that both of you love to do. You can use this ‘theme’ in your cheap prom dresses as well. Choose an interesting designed or textured paper in teal green and off set it with a sheer cover in cream. The best thing to do when using prom dresses for your dress up games is to step out of the box and use your imagination.If you both love to fish, you could use fishing line and lures for your lace front wigs , or a hobby of wood-working could provide you with a way to expand your hobby into creating some special wedding invitations and human hair extensions . Regardless, if there is a hobby that the two of you share that helps to define you as a couple, don’t be afraid to use it to your advantage and choose the best part of your hobby to direct your junior bridesmaid dresses and wedding invitation wording choices.
