Indeed, it was significant to us (I was 13 or 14 at the time) because of the women's liberation movement and women being taken seriously in all workplaces. Up until this match, women's tennis was the lesser sport on the court. I mean, how could they be real athletes, right, when they came out of the kitchen to whack…

Thank you. I immediately went to the ex-Disney princesses Britney and Xtina as well. It seems a career model for these gals: they feel that they need to swing the pendulum WAAAAAY wide from their Disney roots to move into adult pop. Is it always the wise route? Debatable, considering how much talk the performances…

You make so many excellent points that I feel compelled to ask you to marry me and we will exchange vows while wearing swarovski crystal eyelashes and a metric tonne o' slap.

Who the fuck is Martha Thatcher? Oh, to be 15 and reckless with makeup again. It's their absolute earnest conviction that slays me and makes me not actually want to whap them on the nose with a newspaper. However, show up on my doorstep to exercise my sexual demon and all bets are off.

What am I missing here: how does someone young enough to wear the shit out of those shoes not know how to do an internet/EBay search? I'm an old broad and even I know that the first thing I'd do is get the hell onto EBay for a search.

No, in BC. I was given a sample of Clinique's BB cream, btw, and went back 2 days later to purchase the full tube. It is wonderful.

I did not know fucks could fly in rolling doughnuts, but thank god for you telling me this! I am totally stealing this line from now because it is perfect.

57 next month, here. Two years ago my younger sister rolled out of bed and collapsed on the floor with a massive stroke. Two weeks later, my Mom (already mid-stage Alzheimers) had her own mini stroke and the Alzheimers spiraled so much that I had to move her in with us full time. Since then my sister, though not 100%,…

I too am in Canada. Go to Sephora's. They will not try to sell you anything, but they sure as heck will be happy to give you samples of whatever you want to try. I am racking up the hours spent there finding the perfect coral lip/smokey eye/BB cream. Sephora's is my newest go-to.

The puppy is safe in Joffrey's arms...until dundundun George R.R. Martin decides that the puppy is a beloved character.

We were having dinner in a resort in Palm Springs when a trio of mid-to-late 20ish ladies and a baby were seated beside us. Over the next hour we were privy to the *whole* sordid plan gone awry of the baby mama trying to entrap her rich ex by getting pregnant. "So fine, since he didn't want to marry me I decided to…

People don't give wedding gifts anymore? *takes note for future invitations to weddings of the entitled generation*

I would agree with you on both counts. And zomg with the auto tune that can make pretty voices horrendous!

No, the most disgusting part was when her piece of macho shit husband grabbed her by the throat. Why are people in this thread more horrified by the witnesses to this heinous act? And thank god for pictures, because now Nigella has solid evidence against her husband should she decide to divorce. P.S. Nigella: divorce…

She is not a happy dame. Given her health issues and unhappiness I am worried the glorious Elaine isn't going to be with us for much longer.

This. Bourbon+peach cobbler=snarf-aaaand-gone. Bourbon goes in all my fruit cobblers now, because Bourbon. Oddly enough, I hate the taste of Bourbon to drink but I have gone through 2 bottles of Maker's Mark in my cooking and baking.

You are a brave young woman. Many kudos to you for undergoing these life-altering procedures. People who do not walk a mile in your shoes (or Angelina's) are quick with the so-called witty remarks and judgements, and I find that deplorable. I think it was brave of Angelina to openly discuss the double mastectomy…

Somewhere Eddie Izzard is all "WTF, Rich, why didn't you ring me up for makeup tips you arsehole!"

Breaking news, Doug: Working Mom salaries have barely covered child care expenses for decades. Decades. It has long been a harsh decision whether to work or not because both choices offer little monetary gain for the low to middle income earners.
