Ethel Merman truly is the perfect spirit animal.

Peep show

Sephora is my crack. Lisa Eldridge is my bitch. Thrilled to hear that I am not alone.

Jeezuzonastick, I've had enough too.

Really, hon, the only time that the weight gain is an issue is if THE DRESS has already been purchased and you are outsizing the damned thing. For this reason my vote always goes to getting the dress closer to the date. That shit can be taken in, but letting out is most unforgiving.

This past Christmas as my family was visiting together and waiting for the turkey to finish cooking, my daughter and niece were sitting with my Mom (advanced Alzheimers) and they were both knitting. The effect on my Mom, who was fixated on their industrious projects, was wonderful. The whole area around their sofa was…

Gods above, what is it today with so many articles here and on Gawker about schools and dress codes? Was there some new mandate brought down from on high that said there weren't enough moral twats in action in administration?

And this, leggings material thickness, is the real culprit I think. Tights are not leggings, but many leggings are about the same thickness as tights...and have as much opacity. A few commenters have mentioned stirrup pants, but those were always thicker poly and spandex that ultimately had no opacity. I have recently…

Haha! I remember when I traded up my cat's food to some lux brand and he refused to eat it using that "Are you for real, woman?" stare. Me: "But it's deluxe, and expensive, and I thought you would love it!" Him: *Did you just....are you for real, woman?*

Hunger Games and Catching Fire did an admirable screen adaptation of the novels. Divergent didn't have admirable novel material to work with. imho.

Future Yellow King

And I have no doubt that Johnny looks totally faboosh while heartbroken.

Pffft, whatever Neil. Yo, Gareth: buy the first 3 books and read and enjoy them and then read them again. Then watch the series, and then watch it again. Don't angst yourself reading George's blog: too many fans have gnashed their teeth to nubbins waiting for news of (cue angelic choir) The Next Book In The Series,…

I wrap KnopeWaffles and pygmypossum in a giant hug and murmur all the known platitudes...but having also lost a loved to suicide I know that the platitudes are just kind words and the hug will have to suffice.

Pfffft. Liz Taylor did caftan on a yacht first...and better. I mean seriously, where is Kate's frikkin ruby parure? Tiara? Long, dangly egyptian-styled medallion necklace? Amateur, I tell you.

Jeezuzontoast, this is a real thing?? To be the boss is to be bossy. Instead of banning the word we should be teaching our girls to embrace and inhabit it. Leadership includes calling the shots, taking responsibility, and making the tough decisions. Being bossy does not inherently include being mean. Gods save me from…

Indeed, that crash you hear is the sound of reality setting in. All very good questions, andsmokeit, I especially am fond of the last two. Ha!

Sounds similar to what used to be called a Strategy Consultant: helping the organization identify their core goals and plotting their course forward. Bravo, you. Working for a non-profit is exhausting and rewarding work. It makes me sad that people still believe that non-profit means no money in and everyone works for…

You are a culinary mastermind

...because pixie stix was for lightweights.
