If you only look at "Highlights" instead of "All Replies," it almost looks like DangerTits is replying to thesporkgirl.

I've found it to be the exact opposite. The Catholic churches we attended in New England were all pretty formal and we were expected to dress appropriately. The Vigil mass (Saturday evening) was a little less formal, but we definitely couldn't go in jeans or anything. I now live in the Southeast and see everything…

A bunch of people were asking her about it on Twitter. She addressed it by saying that she had no interest. She doesn't have any real interest in acting, either, which is why she doesn't "get offers."

I think to turn italics off, you just have to select "italic" again from the formatting menu. The "normal" text selection doesn't work.

There's a bit towards the end of The Queen & I where a public defendant attempts to evoke sympathy from a jury towards Prince Charles. It pops into my head whenever I hear an upper class British celebrity complain about their upbringing.

If you run across it, read "The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman." It's a compilation of four years of short essays that Sue Townsend wrote for a British magazine, and they're phenomenal. Overall funny, but a few made me tear up (particularly one in which she discusses her impending blindness).

While that's technically true, many places regard not making wage as being a substandard server and will either dock the employee's upcoming hours or fire them entirely. Very few servers will approach their boss and ask for compensation if it means potentially losing their job.

Your parents taught you incorrectly. Tip for standard service is 15%-20%. Servers make a fraction of minimum wage and rely on tips. If you don't want to support that system (and some people choose not to), don't go to a restaurant where you're expected to tip.

I'd actually like the fabric as a pencil skirt. I tend to look decent in those colors and I love funkier patterns for skirts and pants.

I haven't heard that from Bowie before, but it makes sense. Izzard's quote actually reminded me of another Bowie interview from about a decade ago: A particularly obnoxious interviewer was pressing him about whether, early in his career, he had been gay or bi or what. Bowie, fed up but charming, answered "I was happy."…

There's no emotion in his eyes. Cover up his mouth and it's just a freaky dead-eyed stare into the camera.

It's possible that she was brought in as a long-term substitute, then suspended after complaints.. I had one in elementary school (regular teacher was on maternity leave) and one in high school (teacher had a horrible infection that lasted several months).

The frustrating thing for me in gender politics is that while people aren't opposed to the concepts behind feminism, they are apparently opposed to the word "feminism" itself. I've had women say that of course they think women should have equal rights, but they refuse to identify that as being feminist. The language…

I went to another sane school, I think! We started around sixth grade (about eleven). It also wasn't just the one year: we had health every year from sixth through twelfth grade, and sex ed was part of health class every year. Not the only part, as "health" also encompassed things like drug abuse, mental illness, and…

As a New Englander: no shit. But they're also clearly labeled (in the US, at least) as "pure" and "artificial." Honey hasn't had that distinction before, so people buy fake honey thinking it's real just because it's inexpensive.

Cost, maybe? Honey's like maple syrup - the real stuff can get semi-expensive, the artificial stuff stays relatively inexpensive.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

I'm trying to figure out who she's reminding me of here...between the hair and the lipstick, I'm thinking maybe mid-nineties or so Nicole Kidman?

A photograph was taken of a woman without her consent or knowledge for the sexual pleasure of others.

Turning a live woman into a mannequin for one's own fetish without her consent is pretty offensive. It also reinforces the idea that women are merely props or set decoration for the men around them.
