That's an excellent one - I must try to work that in when designer shit is on sale. I am pretty good at applying the 1) do I look amazing in it 2) do I truly want it 3) do I need it scale if shopping, but will go all psychologically weak if something is designer and 50% off even if it fails my Three Points because I…

I am extremely attracted to Jay Z. I even gave myself the Celebrity Subway challenge and he is a mega-pass.

I believe it already is!

I think she's got a touch of Michelle Obama around the eyes and browline. And we all know that is a good look.

I didn't like 'Anna M' that much, although it was creepy, in faith to its subject matter. From a (French!) film geek perspective, I thought 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not' was much more entertaining, even with a slightly dubious ending. If you haven't seen it, I formally recommend!

I'm sure that, included in this bill, are provisions for healthcare for the women who choose to carry their pregnancy to term and adoption, including mental health counseling. Oh, and legal advice, so they know all the ins-and-outs of open adoption, should they choose that route.

I noticed this too, although it is sadly par for the course. However, terrific actors and a great director, and based on real events, so I won't get too worked up about it. No flick set in the '70s is going to pass up the chance to have at least one solid 'fro in it, even if it's not on a central character.

There is so little positive to say about this case, other than that these women were eventually located alive and Castro is going to prison for the rest of his life. It is somehow heartening that at least one of Castro's children has turned out to be an empathetic, articulate human being, despite such a violent and…

''In my usual online haunts, I've been seeing more black women coming out and declaring that they do not consider/call themselves feminists.''

Okay, no idea how I did that with the format and can't figure out how to fix. Nothing to do with the second bottle I just cracked open.

Done! Thanks for the link.

So many!!!! For my money, the Brits do the best crime fiction. Val McDermid and Mo Hayder and Minette Walters are obvious favorites. Belinda Bauer is a more recent addition, as well as Jane Casey, both of whom I rate. Tana French (Irish) writes excellent literary crime fic, and Denise Mina (of whom I am less…

I read it last week. I'm a thriller/crime buff and love it gory. I was pleasantly surprised by exactly how gory it was - if that is a big no for you, you may want to pass.

Yes. I find him repugnant... I am trying to think why - he's not committed sins on the scale of Baby-Wipes Howard or anything. I think it's just something about his seeming arrogance coupled with his ubiquity. And the fact that I don't care for his face.

I have always been a bit mystified by Miranda Kerr's success. Aside from the fact that I don't personally find her attractive, I could much more easily see her as a high-fashion model than a VS type. I find her flat (expressively) and childlike - quite unsexy, but a look that could work in a Vogue spread.

Agreed, I have also noticed this. He's covering it well, the writing is crisp and clear. I am choosing to take my news on this from Jez because of it. HIGH-FIVE, DOUG.

''Math is hard!'' enters the 21st century. How REFRESHING.

Great comment - RadJamz commented simultaneously over on the left in response to the original post and I think s/he (inadvertently) gave a fab response.

I award you an Internet Medal for your first paragraph, and am actually in agreement with your second paragraph. I didn't think the Onion tweet was hilarious, but it didn't offend me in the slightest - the joke had nothing to do with Wallis being black or female. I can see why it might offend others and would judge…
