Wow! Adored Austin tipped me off to a great photo shoot for Elle Italia. I’m always nostalgic for Texas, especially when most of this shoot was in Fort Worth and Austin. …makes me think about getting skinny…

"Texas has already turned down the SEC. Sources close to UT say the Longhorns don’t see it as a cultural fit, namely because of the SEC’s academic standards."
—
A&M wants to move to the SEC … it’s sad because OU recognizes the Texas rivalry and wants to align with academic institutions like Cal and Stanford. Joking aside about the poooor aggies, A&M has a great engineering program and is a research institution, it would do the university good to align with stronger academic programs.

You never know what to wear to a National Championship game. Of course, Daisy ate my lucky rose bowl undies, so … we can still win, it’s not like my chonies are the 12th man on the team.

This is not a Natural Science Museum
It’s an outdoor sporting good (hunting) store with a restaurant, laser rifle shooting, video games, and taxidermy galore.
