I’ll start. I fell in absolute love with this red Vera Wang one. No, I am not getting married. Yes, I would wear this everywhere.

I think what one considers to be the most horrifying tells you a lot about a person. Clicked expecting bodily functions, got stories of personal violation and shame. Am now a little disappointed in myself for thinking the former is what I had considered to be most horrifying. Good on you, Pinkham.

Is it wrong that I see this as a continuation of her character in The Devil Wears Prada? PS A Meryl-Streep-as-Miranda-Priestly cameo would be AWESOME.

My mom is a transplanted Midwestern lady living in a small island town in south Texas.

This casting makes our hearts hurt a little bit

The cardigan over the catsuit is fucking inspired.

I doused myself in gasoline and set myself on fire after you broke up with Jezebel.

No, it’s Becky.

I did, it was awesome. He was a stranger that crashed a party who was 19 (I was 25 or something at the time). We were the same skin/eye/hair color, were the same height, he was a little skinnier than me. He looked like the actor who would play me in a flashback of me at 19. We laughed about it. My drivers license had…
