Sunday Overnight Open Thread - May 24, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Sunday night ONT. Appreciate you spending some of your holiday weekend here. Open thread, as always. Fashion and music, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

A different time

-----

Remember when this was new cutting edge tech?

-----

Do you remember any of these old restaurants?

Farrells is the one I remember most. The one near me was in Golden Ring Mall, in eastern Baltimore County. There was an arcade next door. Such great times!

-----

How about old, cheap beer? Which one was your go to? One of these or a different one?

In Baltimore, our go to was National Bohemian - "Natty Boh" for short. We also had Milwaukee's Best (The Beast) and Shaeffer. What was the bargain beer in your neck of the woods?

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

My Birthday Wishlist: “Practical” Gifts? Probably not.

I’ve been asked a few times now what I want for my birthday, and it looks like successfully ignoring the whole thing isn’t going to work this year.

So here’s the current lineup. No quiet luxury snoozefest here. I’m going with fun, wearable, “yes I’m extra” energy only.

1. A Lady Dior Bag

The iconic Dior Lady Dior in classic black cannage lambskin. Medium size, please. Big enough for my essentials, lipstick, and snacks, but not so huge I look like I’m smuggling baguettes. Those D.I.O.R. charms? Chef’s kiss.
Why it’s on the list: Because it’s classic, and gorgeous.

2. Christian Louboutin Strappy Sandals

Louboutin Marilyn Slingback Sandal. Ideal for a birthday dinner where I plan to sit dramatically and pretend this is how I dress daily.
Why it’s on the list: Because nothing says glamorous like shoes that make you walk like you own the sidewalk.

3. A sundress from Zimmerman that made me gasp

A Zimmermann Indra Metallic Stripe Print Silk and Cotton Halter dress. It’s breezy, but elevated. It has such interesting details- subtle cutouts, a flattering twist, the color blocking.

Why it’s on the list: This one would be worn on repeat for summer brunches where I pretend I have my life together.

4. MOUSSY Vintage Jeans

Perfectly faded Deltona Straight selvedge jeans with a lived-in look. The kind that make you feel effortlessly chic even when you’re just running to Target.
But Piper, you may be thinking, Why these? Don’t you already have a few pairs of MOUSSY jeans hanging in the closet? Yes, but not these ones in particular!

Why it’s on the list: because I love a rigid, 100% cotton jean with a button fly.

Bonus Wishlist Wildcard:

Luxury sunglasses in a modern cat eye because I keep looking at them.

There you have it — my very mature, very reasonable birthday wishlist. Here’s to another trip around the sun in style!

Thanks, Piper. Hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow!
