Katy Perry's aesthetic is best described as "Lisa Frank after a highball glass of vodka".

Ours is named "Wheatley", after the one personality core/robot from the second Portal game. We noticed our Roomba came across as really enthusiastic, but tended to be on the stupid side. We want to cheer for him, he's trying hard, but there are those moments when he can't find his own dock and keeps circling the…

It's hard to say what's the worst about this set of photos: the location, the incredibly amateurish photography, the generic outfit, the generic outfit blending in with the background to the point that you can't differentiate between the two at a quick glance, the incredibly awkward posing, the washed out makeup…

Is it dishonest to wear shapewear like Spanx? How about color blocking that makes your shape look different? Is it dishonest to wear makeup that contours and enhances certain features?

People are constantly "lying" about how they look. Why should your choice of bra be any different? Why should anyone really care?…

I blame stuff like this as part of why Scarlett O'Hara was less than a pleasant character.

The logic behind them is that when you wear a full on hoop skirt and multiple layers of petticoats and a big skirt, it's extremely difficult to hike everything up, drop your undies, do your business, and then manage to get your undies back on afterwards. You want something to cover your legs and bits, in case your…

You would think. I grew up in Utah, was Mormon. The restrictions on alcohol, tea, and coffee were taken seriously. The "eating meat sparingly" thing was regularly ignored. The fact that the lifestyle tends to be rather restrictive, a lot of Mormons make up for it by eating a lot of really crappy food. Between…

Even if a kid is pudgy due to their diet, it's not exactly like children are the ones controlling the food budget, doing the cooking, and the ones making the major decisions for the household. It's completely uncalled for to pick on kids over something they have little to no control over.

People like this utterly amaze me. They freak out over modern medicine and science, in favor of the old days, missing that the way they're choosing to live meant that people tended to have a life expectancy in what we would currently see as middle age. If you want to be smug and keel over from something completely…

It takes a special kind of self-centered person to think they need to apologize to the entire planet for screwing up.

For being so anti-black, I find it interesting that his wardrobe consists of a cheap rip-off of Prince's look.

I think this is something that parents really need to talk to their kids about when they start letting them have social media accounts. Of course, that takes parenting and paying attention.

Nobody, no matter how famous, owes anyone anything. It shows a very real lack of regard for those celebrities as actual people. …

It's how we greet people from my culture, don't you know? How dare you recoil from my loving boot to your nuts? LIGHTEN UP, BOYS.

I would hope the university would see this as time to react, as this happened on campus. It's a PR nightmare for them, as who wants to go to a school where it's this obvious that you could randomly get sexually assaulted? At the very least, it seems like it'd be a great time for the school to offer self-defense…

If I knew the family, I would be relieved to see this blog piece from her: it'd be a nice warning that she and her husband haven't got a clue about teaching their sons about genuinely respecting women and as such, I don't want my daughter around her sons. After all, if her sons can't handle behaving themselves…

There's a replica of the Disneyland version that's been up for sale in the Atlanta area.

As somebody who grew up in Utah, by way of explanation: Utah receptions tend to be extremely laid back. Typically, it's an open invite to just about everyone in town. Invites will be sent out to just about everyone you've ever possibly met, but you also see open invitations in your local newspapers and church…

The german language of course has a word for it: fremdschämen. That would be the feeling of vicarious embarrassment when you see somebody making a complete idiot of themself.
