I'm really looking forward to my schedule one day coinciding with my fella's. Just as I get through my really unpleasant long haul, he's just starting out on his. He's over there in the corner chain smoking and cursing at his computer. Poor guy. Unfortunately, I was kinda looking for a slightly more restful evening.

I need black or nude fishnets - the wide weaved ones - and I need them by Saturday night. The *only* possible time I have to shop will be Saturday before noon. I don't really want to go into Hollywood, but I will if I have to. L.A. area recommendations?
