I never liked her as a child actor - I just found her so unattractive (not ugly, but very unappealing). But I think she has grown into her bone structure and is SUCH a striking woman now! She has an old-fashioned, nearly Victorian look, I think it's tremendous. Now I think I would love to watch her face onscreen,…

Ah, that is reassuring that someone else had a badly-behaved alter-ego! I commented and then became concerned I sounded a bit nuts.

I went by Allison. No idea why I chose it, just that it was a boring, regular name unrelated to my own boring, regular name, and it seemed to cut down on hassle. Allison could be unfriendly if she needed to be. And the one time she got exceptionally drunk at a bar and ended up chased (chased!!!!) by security guards…

Now, I thought this letter was from Leslie Mann.

Hmm. I am from Houston, and I have been living in the UK for several years now. I intend to stay in Europe for the long-term, but if I were to move back to the States, I would only live in Texas, Cali, or New Orleans. I don't however, spend my time slagging off other parts of the country, particularly parts of the…

I've never read that before, and DAMN, I am impressed. That is BRAVE; even though jolly old England is much more secular than the States, she still works within the Hollywood system, which is terrified of alienating the mainstream public.

My issue with it is exactly what the people complained about the O'Connell story - slicing and dicing women into body parts. It's dehumanizing. It the woman in the photo did not want to show her face, there would have been other ways of presenting the pictorial.

Tuesday.

THIS IS FUCKING EXCITING SCIENCE NEWS!!! I am way impressed that aliens have come down to Earth to evaluate our 'society' and 'reproductive urges' from their contextless perspective.

Hellaciously depressing data, but brilliantly and accessibly presented. Thanks, Nick Zurko! I hope this gets widespread attention.

Piping up as yet another INFP who is a confirmed red-wino. Drinking a home blend of Primitivo and Tempranillo at this exact second.

It's a valid point on the school's part. I am distracted by how terrific that little girl's hair is, and wild with jealousy.

RIESLING???? Aw hell to the naw. I'm a blend, baby, and I don't drink white.

Unless the ultimate point is the one you just expressed, and this is, IN FACT... a parody of the MRA/'nice guy' point of view... HANG ON.

Nope, I don't get it at all. It's like MRA propaganda or something.

Seeee.... That's not a good image, for me. Like my goth friend in high school who had a much older boyfriend and would show me his pics, and I would be like, ooh, he looks really cute, but he DIDN'T, he looked like a creepy 33-year-old preying on a 17-year-old girl with no solid parental guidance. Because he was a…

I am just a girl from Texas, who lives in London now!!!! You should come!!! I met all my friends here from Jezebel, back in the bad old days. It's a nice group. :) Where are you?

Well, yeah, those are all the things I thought! It's not like he punched a waiter in the face or anything, so I didn't want to poison him for you unnecessarily.

Are you, in fact, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH? If so, I will buy you a coffee to apologize.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess my reaction to him is 'so undeserving,' which is why I am warming to the Hids love, because he seems grateful and like a nice guy. But I am just a random lady on the internet, don't let me ruin him for you. I have no personal 'Cumberbatch is a CumberDickHead' stories or anything. He did…
