Thank you for the link!

Some of it comes with age. Time is time. I had body-image issues all my life (the neurotic list is literally too long to put in a comment); the only compliment I ever believed was when an intellectually-disabled woman (the daughter of a friend) burst out "You're so pretty!" (I was 42 at the time).

Your phrasing. Superb.

I'm convinced my adult oily problem is from using stuff like 10-0-6 and Seabreeze as a teen, basically paint-stripping my skin with each swipe.

Every time I used mineral powder, my face would smell like the bottom of a garbage can. NOW I know that it is probably because it was sourced unethically.

That. Is. Awesome. Thank you.

Re-watched it recently and was pleased to find it was still so Very. The shoulder pads and hair kept it from hitting too close to home w/r/t current school violence.

To all these people, I'd like to say: It's not about you anymore.

Did not like this video. Don't like the way the teacher is front and center the whole time, and really, REALLY hope he's doesn't give off a pervy vibe IRL the way he does in the vid.

Try a product called Working Hands Cream. I had issues with not just cuticles, but my skin cracking open like some sort of secular stigmata — seriously, I'd look down and there would be blood all over my keyboard like a phantom wolverine had been gnawing my fingertips. Now I apply this stuff on my hands several…

If you articulate a position, particularly one that — you know — just might be unpopular, be prepared to defend it and not childishly shut it down with something like "bite me." You're wasting everyone's time and patience with the trolling.

So true! I have very broad shoulders and a wide back and but am in a B cup and it's very difficult to find bras, especially in the cup shape I prefer. Eventually I do find them, but the shopping field is very limited. Two of my favorite cotton t-shirt bras broke underwire last week and I almost held a wake for them…

That purse is MARSALA in color, Pantone followers please take note. She is ahead of the curve, as always.

Very, VERY well said.

You communicated that very well... it's an aspect of rape culture that is seldom really explored.

Major good music— both songs are on my playlist — but I'm swooning over the jewelry and body decoration, that's all.

So many planets... so little time.

Ba-dum CHAAA.

Riiiiiight. I want to be standing in my own shit, in the tropical heat, while the Poop Pope waves his hands over me. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

"Tyler, did you take my lotion AGAIN? WTF are you DOING with it, Dude?"
