Living in SoCal, sometimes it is hard to know what month it is, the weather variation is so minimal (especially if you are originally from the Midwest or East!). So--don't laugh--these monthly review threads are a good reminder of exactly where we are! That said, it is a very sad day here for many fans of the extremely nice actor, Paul Walker, who passed away here yesterday as the passenger in a fiery car wreck near where he was running his charity for victims of the Philippines typhoon. A few years ago, on Mother's Day while we were taking our aunt to a restaurant and waiting our turn for a table, he was doing the same for his mother. No special treatment requested, even though he was in his hometown of Glendale. What a handsome tall drink of water! He was in two of my all-time favorite films: "Eight Below" and "Pleasantville," and will be sorely, sorely missed at the young age of 40.

Most Ripkanistas, know what the deal is with this thread: REVIEW AFTER REVIEW AFTER REVIEW. And everything Judith Ripka counts: from QVC designs (new, older, clearance, TSV, Insider, Lunchtime Specials, Last Clicks, "As Is") to JRTWO, couture, silver collection and her accessories. Please add your reviews from pieces collected from Judith's boutiques, Sawgrass Outlet (friendly SAs will do it all online, if you cannot get to Florida), JudithRipka dot com. Also elite department stores and their websites. Independent retailers, too. And online: Bluefly, RuLaLa, Gilt, Last Call. Don't forget Over There (major auction site) and Ripkanista-to-Ripkanista trading. It all counts!

If you have your own separate thread discussing a single design, please copy your single review post here among the other reviews.

And if you find something wonderful which goes with JR, please add that review, too. It can be fun to mix it up a little. Photos are welcome. If you are reviewing a JRQ piece, please add the QVC J-number. With 1,100 inventory numbers at the Q, it is nearly impossible to be completely sure which design you are reviewing just by description. It also makes it easier to add a second window to look up the product page and more reviews.

Thanks very much and let's get reviewing! JR TSV this month, yea! ~Peach
