Is the 4th of July a "Summer mid-point" for you? Living most of my life in the Midwest, the Summer sunshine was always a precious commodity not to be wasted, something to be drunk in with joy, treasured and saved up in your memory banks. Independence Day was always the halfway mark of Summer fun. Here in SoCal, we pay dearly for the stuff and have an overabundance to the point where I enjoy our "May Grey" and "June Gloom" season of cloudy mornings before the Marine Layer burns off and the sun comes roaring in come afternoon. I guess it all is a matter of perspective, right?

Anyway, the purpose of this thread is simple: REVIEW AFTER REVIEW AFTER REVIEW. And if you already did your own single review thread, please copy your initial review post in this thread.

Everything Judith Ripka counts. From the Q, that means brand new designs, older pieces, clearance, Lunchtime Specials, Insider, Limited Quantity, Last Clicks, TSVs and OTOs. From elsewhere, that means Judith Ripka from her HE boutiques, JudithRipka dot com and her outlet stores (just email for lists, everything can be done online); elite department stores, Over There (major auction site), Ripkanista-to-Ripkanista trading, Gilt, Bluefly, Last Call, Sweepstreet, Sam's and independent retailers.

This month we have several JR shows to look forward to (according to an email I received from the Q June 29): Monday, July 9 from 2-3 AM Eastern Standard Time (Sunday, July 8, 11PM-Midnight, Pacific); Thursday, July 12 from 1-3 PM EST (10AM-Noon, Pacific) and 9-11pm EST (6-8 PM Pacific); Tuesday, July 17 1-3 AM (Monday, July 16 11 PM-Tuesday, July 17 1 AM, Pacific).

Finally, if you are reviewing a Q item, please add the Q's J-number. And if you find something cool that goes with JR, please review that, too. All great mixing ideas are welcome, as are photos. Now, let's get reviewing! THANKS~Peach
