You know, assuming that she has a naturally small nose, which some people do, I would buy that she hasn't had plastic surgery. At least not on her face. I think people underestimate the illusions that carefully applied makeup can achieve, especially in a 2-dimensional photo.

I have a slightly out-there theory about Black Friday and similar events: Over the last century Western culture has moved farther and farther away from the means of production. Most of the things we use are made in factories far away by people we'll never meet. Only a small fraction of the population now trains for…

That is really interesting. I've always wondered who exactly trolls translated to in real life. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. Lana Del Rey I like you more than I probably should, but that is one boring video.

I agree. I usually love Lindy's dirt bag, but using a jokey tone ("the mom is like nu-uh though") to discuss allegations of child abuse is really offensive.

Orthodox Jewish hipster fashion, please.

Fellow white people! Can we please just come up with some OTHER large thing to wear on our heads when we want attention and aren't feeling creative? One that doesn't involve cluelessly devaluing the sacred practices of another culture? Because seriously. How are we still having this conversation?

That shit is correct. Pumpkin seeds are amazing.

This happened to my friend's sister:

You're absolutely right that the desire to be a Barbie comes from a troubling place, and that people can comment and respond however they please. But a lot of the comments are more "Yikes! That's scary, not pretty!" than "Yikes! This stems from a culture of objectification!" I can't help wondering if it's because…

I think you're right. People seem to fly into a pearl clutching rage whenever a woman controls her own appearance in a way that deviates slightly from the norm. Especially if it makes 'acceptable' presentations of femininity seem strange, false, or grotesque. I think that's a lot more telling about cultural…

Maybe nothing. There's a LOT of photoshop on those pics, but when I look at the video I don't think there's much body modification here beyond maybe a nose job (which age pretty well). Makeup and contouring can create amazing illusions.

Coming forward with an eating disorder right now kind of IS trendy - but in the best possible way. I think the fact that other celebrities have opened up suddenly makes it seem safe and worthwhile to talk about. It's a trend, but it's a great trend, because it means widespread eating disorders among celebrities are…

Thanks so much for your answer, that's really fascinating!

How does the trip sitter thing work? I've never done psychedelics because I don't think they'd be a good fit for my own mental health history, but I'm very curious about them.

As much as I love Adele, she is kind of judgemental. She's always going on about how no pop star should use their sexuality or appearance to sell records, which is ridiculous because she herself is gorgeous, heavily styled and made up, and very sexy to anyone who prefers her body type.

Okay, here's the thing, though: not all big breasts are the same. They can vary widely in density, shape, skin thickness, ligament length and elasticity, and musculature. And the shape and strength of your shoulders and ribcage make a difference in your experience too. Whether they're big an annoying or big and…

Creativity is the drug, huh? Well, it seems to be a drug that makes your pants ugly. It's like meth for pants!

Jesus. Something has gone very wrong with Amanda Bynes. I can't help wondering if she's bipolar, doesn't know it, and is using the pot to try to self-medicate the manic upswing or depressive low she's been on lately.

Well, to be fair, no one really knows what will happen to your mother. Or you. Maybe you're actually a family of immortal superbeings? That would be nice. Hope for that.
