A woman at this evening's session gripes that her sister is holier than thou but discovers that she is doing the same thing. Subjective judgments are vigorously challenged, seen as personal "projections" or "stories." While the Work proceeds, two young women clutch each other for comfort; another fellow gets up and kneels like a puppy at Katie's side as she strokes...

...news: Silk costumes require a special order and, baby, we ain't got the time for that. Good thing Dr. K managed to uncover some sexy looks. She found gems in the "pulpit" and "baptismal" collections. But if you're going to try to bust out with the holier-than-thou aesthetic, Dr. K recommends accessorizing with some slutty blue eye shadow. And maybe some white platform sandals.
