THANK YOU.

I've been a lot of different bra sizes and I have to say, there is always somebody out there to give you a hard time no matter which size you're at, with the possible exception of something around a 34B, which is too big for the abusive jeers about flat-chestedness, yet too small to be difficult to dress

Well put. Meanwhile, on a photo of a large-breasted model, the same people are all writing, "Eww, saggy!" You can't please anyone, sometimes.

The tapas bar around the corner from me used to have two unisex restrooms that were very clean and never required a wait — then one night they had the little male and female icons on the doors. The "men's" room was already reeking to high heaven, and the "women's" room was completely inaccessible because a pair of

Considering that it's a training drink for teenagers who don't yet appreciate the taste of actual liquor, I'd say it only takes a couple. If I were to drink Smirnoff ice now, though, I would get sick to my stomach from the malt liquor long before feeling a buzz.

I'm putting my money on caffeine and whiskey. And I'm looking forward to having them both in the morning. ;)

I tried singing, the last time I wore my custom-sized corset, and I was amazed at the lung power I had. My voice was HUGE. I'd had no idea that was possible. Should have worn one to all those auditions I flubbed as a teenager. haha

Yah, they just retouch out all those protruding sternums and over-defined kneecaps so the models can be super undernourished without showing the scary consequences. Bonerville! *sigh*

I want to say, "now, if they'd just make clothes that can look good on other shapes and sizes..." - but this is Vogue. The clothes are all way, way out of virtually anyone's price range, so I can't really care whether they are advertising something that would fit my body — cos even if it came in my shape, I wouldn't

The target demographic of Vogue is straight women and gay men, so (disregarding for a moment your ludicrous assertion that everyone wants to bed the same body type) Vogue's models are supposed to be people you want to look like, not fuck. It's not a lads' mag.

I'm curious how many among us actually read and ingest the message of fashion magazines. There's so much complaint about the values they seem to project, but I don't think I know a lot of women who actually buy the magazines or care much about fashion trends. It would be interesting to have a poll.

I know someone whose dad and boyfriend paid for her new "breasts." So that stereotype is at least true for some people (in my sample size of one person).

Yah, I somehow have hyperextended elbows and knees that are... what's the opposite? Bowlegged? My dance teachers tell me not to lock/straighten my arms all the way but are always harping on me to "straighten" my legs more in arabesque (I would if they did!)

OMG. My guests are barely even RSVPing. I think I'm just going to plan for everyone to bring a +1 regardless of what their invites said. I have no idea how many people are actually showing up, outside the family. We may need to order pizzas if a throng shows up unannounced. haha

Jonathan Pryce oughta be a protected species. There should be no remakes of his movies. You remake Brazil and I will cut you. CUT YOU.

When my father married my scandalous, divorced, single-parenting mother, his mom slinked up to hers at the reception and expressed how pleased she was that they were no longer "living in sin." My mother's mom scoffed and replied that it was wonderful that they'd taken the time to make sure their lives were compatible

PREACH. Everybody thought I was on the brink of starvation, as a kid. When I filled out post-puberty, people were acting relieved, as if I'd beaten cancer. And yah, I don't really complain about my body, per se, but if I so much as mention its existence (i.e. we're all talking about how hard it is to find well-fitting

that ever-so-lucky perfect size that never gets picked on (but is 5lbs away from being too skinny or too fat for everyone else's standards)

*sigh* Yah. Can't we be kinder to all shapes and sizes? I feel like when people tell me I'm thin, they're implying that I'm doing it to make them look or feel bad, and this whole awkward exchange happens when I'd rather not talk about our bodies at all. Yes, I get a lot of exercise. It feels awesome. You do you.
