Especially when she's ON THE JOB. On your own time, it's one thing to drop a "WTF, dude, who do you think I am?" It's a different matter when you're on the company dollar and need to maintain a working relationship to keep access to, y'know, the thing you're supposed to be covering.

Carlene Cockburn might!

If you're a fan of those, you might give the new Revlon version a go. I haven't found them in stock to try them myself, but early reviews are saying that the Revlon version is actually MORE pigmented than the Tarte one, albeit slightly less glossy. And at a third the price of the Tarte product, I can afford to buy a…

Please note that she's in Utah... which according to the 2010 Census was 0.9% Black or African American. Yeah. I'm willing to bet that cosmology schools down there wouldn't bother to have more than a single class in those two years on dealing with Black hair.

Caffe Vita's omnipresence at various restaurants and cafes in this city has trained me to be wary of their beans. Sometimes, it's fine. Sometimes (I'm looking at you, Geraldine's Counter!), it's a bitter hell brew that tastes as if it's been burning in Satan's kitchen for the last three weeks. I'm just not a fan.

Mmph. But can anything beat the pecan bars at Macrina? I don't think so.

I was just thinking the same thing - these law interview guidelines are often written based on East Coast standards. Over here, it's more like, "Please don't wear open toed shoes to the office. ... Too much? Okay, no flip flops in the office. Please? Pretty please? ... Fine, just don't wear them to client meetings."

But you guys missed my favorite tip from the How to Be a Conservative Girl:

If you're going to make sweeping generalizations... It's not that women aren't competitive. It's that we're SOCIALLY competitive. Who has the bigger house? The better boyfriend? Thus the popularity of games like Farmville that allow women to compete against their social peers in a non-violent fashion. Games like…

There does look to be blood to the right of him, visible after he stretches and rolls.

Ooh, good call. Bleeding Violet was SO GOOD.

One rather famous example comes to mind - the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin. Ignore the adaptations, as written pretty much the entire cast is of color.

Mmph. And when they say they want to feature Annie's Boobs, Sony Execs won't be talking about the monkey.

Ooh, that one's a good one too. The mix of color and texture is fabulous.

If all goes according to my plans, I will be rocking a white Wai Ching tulip dress with straps as show here. Or, hmm, maybe navy dip dyed. Anyway - it has straps. All of her dresses can have straps added. And pretty colors. I luuuuvs them.

Fan Bing Bing's embroidered dress is amazing, yes. But the accessorized clutch and perfect lip color? That's what takes it over the top. Put down your nude lipstick and take note, American celebs - that's how you wear a dress instead of having it wear you.

What's up with the matchy-matchy ties? They're not even Galaxy colors. It just makes Obama look like he wandered into a frat class photo shoot.

Yes! I went searching down the threads because I knew someone else would have mentioned these books. Alanna: The First Adventure is the first book that I can remember when and where I was when I read it. Besides being an awesome role model by being tough, independent, and an all around badass, I like to think that…

Let's not forget the most Sherlock of them all - House.

You'd be right, which is why all of the "he's only three!" posts are a bit incorrect.
