Cho's yule ball costume in the movie is also a cheongsam, right? So that would indicate she's of chinese descent in the film version, which JK was involved with.

I don't know where your name knowledge comes from. My Korean-American fiance explained Korean names to me, and what he said goes against what you're saying here but I'm no expert, I just know what he told me. He said the three part names indicate family, generation, and position within the generation, and are very…

Aren't there two kinds of korean names though? There are the tripartite ones that indicate generation & position within the generation, and then there are just single given names as well. As I understand it the three-part names are more indicative of older/higher-positioned families but are not universal. I'm…

I can't remember if their Yule Ball outfits were described in the books, but that always bothered me. None of them (Cho and the Patil sisters) are portrayed as being foreign students, but rather British kids of asian descent, yet they ALL wear traditional asian outfits to the yule ball? That seemed really…

When I saw the headline, I thought the article was going to be about passing the buck to girls and women, and I still think that's what it does. "Ignore the entire fashion industry and societal beauty norms. If you don't, you are just a silly, stupid girl who wants to look like a drawing. It's not our fault."

The concept of a dating site where women initiate contact is an interesting concept that I think could have potential. But this just seems like a gross execution of it with horrifying marketing. Power doesn't HAVE to be about objectification, equality shouldn't be about treating men as shittily as the worst of them…

Right? No he's not just fading into oblivian because he is a huge star.

I thought it was though not as much as Gangnam. He's known for being a clown and for not fitting the normal k-pop standard of hotness. In the visual language of the video he seems to be critiquing people taking themselves/being hot way too seriously and all of them basically being the same and boring. He then goes for…

I actually thought that created a really cool effect, especially in light of the fact that he often critiques uniformity in Korean culture. And the contrast between those ladies being kind of boring performing a serious kind of hotness and the "unique" girl who clowns around with him.

Good luck!

If there is any elastic or stretch, don't use woolite, use a lingerie/bra detergent. It doesn't sound like there is elastic, but woolite will kill it if there is. Just hand wash in a sink or bucket with warm, not hot, water (swish it and rub it against itself,) then hand dry.

That's awesome your Graves is under control. A good doctor is worth their weight in gold, especially since seeing a bad one is such a crap experience. Have you seen anyone about your pain/liver? If the Dr who treated the graves is a GP, please see them about It. If not, they may be able to recommend a good GP. …

I feel like porn is part of the masturbation process for a lot of guys so I just see it as part of that, a private part of his sexuality that has nothing to do with our sex life together. I think there is room and often need in human sexuality for both masturbation and partnered sex and him masturbating doesn't in…

It may be the long distance changed you or him to make you more incompatible, or something changed that is irreconcilable. But it could also just be you aren't feeling as close after being long distance, and need to ease back into it. I felt similarly after a long distance relationship. It didn't last bc of various…

Those people saying you cannot have liver pain are misinformed. There are nerves that are part of your visceral/autonomic nervous system that go to and around your liver. They are not meant to send pain signals, they are meant to send regulatory signals to the organs (viscera.) But they can send pain signals,…
