It’s UNBELIEVEABLE how much shit she gets about her looks. You can’t read one article about her without getting the “disgusting” “horse face” comments. And if it’s not about her looks, it’s about how allegedly terrible SATC was. Sure, over a decade later it seems dated and out of touch, but give it a break, people.…

I remember reading about that in a magazine! It was much more than just a licensing agreement. My sister had the perfume, actually. I liked it.

That's what I have to keep reminding myself.

Lovely! Making your bedroom into the space you want it to be is SO satisfying. It's my own little box in this big, fucked up world.

I am in the process of perfecting my lady cave. It’s been a work in progress. I have a grand, tall ceiling, a mediocre chandelier that will hopefully be replaced by a fancy one, a big vintage vanity, a brocade armchair, a dedicated crafting corner, display shelving for all my weird little trinkets, closet space that’s…

Many intelligent people were not reading and writing at 5, just as many early readers and writers end up being adults of average intelligence. Often, if they do end up being avid readers or do well in school/career, I believe it would be more closely related to an early, regular exposure to books/opportunities to read…

Estate sale company. Even if they don’t sell guns, they’ll know someone who can sell them to a dealer.

Young women of the world, I cannot recommend enough: cultivate relationships with people (particularly women) who are older than you. If you are lucky, you will see what 30+ year friendships look like. And how it’s totally possible, with some concentrated effort, to surround yourself with people who don’t blink an eye…

It seems to me that you generally refer to their old name as an identifying characteristic of the past, if you need to. As in, Caitlyn won her gold medals when she was known as Bruce.

One of the reasons it’s important to see things like this is that it’s a reminder of how the division between “good” and “evil” is never black and white, and political relationships are complicated. Things develop over time, it’s not as easy as saying “that group is bad/this group is good, choose one to support.”…

I’m the same, usually. Whenever I wake up the next day and realize I drank a little too much, I’m totally paranoid that I made a huge fool out of myself. If I dare ask my friends and admit my foolhardy ways, the response is always, “Really? You seemed fine. A little drunk maybe. Mostly just chatty.”

What about Amateur Therapist? When I drink, I find myself having intense personal conversations and I always end up isolated at the end of the bar or in a corner with someone who has decided that she’s comfortable telling me all her secrets, and is relieved by my sincere insistance that “yes, it’s ok, we all…

Great speech. Confident, honest, heartfelt, to the point, not to mention, uplifting. Caitlyn’s coming out has been magnificent. It could have gone so many other (mediocre, secretive, shameful) ways given the nature of her recent fame. I'm blown away with how she's stepping up to the challenge after so many years of…

Ok guys. Real talk. I work in fashion, though I’m not a designer. I also sew as a hobby and make some of my own clothes. I am also plus size (14 usually) and rather tall and am consistently frustrated by the difficulty of finding well made clothes off the rack that actually fit me, despite the fact that I can shop in…

Wow, I really love the tone of her voice. I also really love that song.

I loved that show, basically because it made me really wish I could read a tell-all. So reading it.

Did anyone see Esther’s clip from the Diane Sawyer interview? She said something like “When I saw you in that Olympic stadium, I didn’t think I could be any more proud of you, but now I’m more proud than ever” (I’m paraphrasing). She seems full of love and support. I can understand why change would be hard — she loves…

Caitlyn is a modernized spelling of a fairly modern name (you’re just not going to find many Caitlyns in their 60’s).

If I were making up a name to be someone cooler than me, I would've considered Madeline! (My real name is very boring)
