Mmph. Your great-grandmother probably denied her native status because there was considerable pressure to do so in that era. My grandmother was sent to a "re-education" school where they beat children for speaking their native language or acting in any way that was considered non-white and non-Christian.

Their blending and contouring is superb. I need to remember that for the next time I try a drag inspired look. Last time I went overboard on the sparkle and looked like a pre-schooler's craft project had attacked my face. Next time, more blending, less glitter.

Nope, pretty sure you're still projecting your own outrage over tone on the tastes of others. The number of other people in the thread who have shrugged their shoulders should be proof enough of that.

You're likely NOT the intended audience for this piece. This is an excerpt from a book targeted at new college freshmen. Are you an 18-year-old? Do you need to be told how to binge drink without dying, how to do laundry, or what drugs to avoid? Yes, it's talking down to them, because kids are idiots. No, that's not me…

The parents also get connections to other parents who can afford $40k a year for kindergarten. My guy's youngest siblings are at a private school, and when his mom threw a halloween party for the kids and their families it was very, "Why HELLO, neurology research star! Have you met local chief of cardiac surgery? I…

Meh, quick search shows that Mancuso just got two silvers at the 2010 games. Vonn did win Gold in 2010 at the Olympics and was coming off of two golds at the 2009 World Championships - she was a favorite for talent, not just looks. Prior to the silvers in 2010, Mancuso hadn't medaled at a World Championships since…

I dunno if that marks you as an Old. In the late 90s, I had a gym teacher who generally dressed as follows:

Germany also has the highest number of immigrants in the EU.

Pretty sure she was the best part of the entire thing. That is some awesome attitude.

This is going to sound odd, but have you tried any Asian brands? Korean and Japanese brands really have the palest-of-pale colors covered. Specifically, look into Missha BB Cream shade 13.

Eh. Women's Professional League folded largely due to management idiocy and legal issues. The W-League is mostly developmental, but at least it has some history behind it. It's comparable to the USL.

We did win the last two Olympic Gold medals - those don't count?

The premise that this website is about celebrities, sex, and fashion? Riiight.

Mmph. Or you could take my mom's line of logic - my husband won't be caught dead using a pink screwdriver/hammer/pliers, so maybe this way he'll stop raiding my toolbox when he inevitably loses his.

Would you consider "enjoy the view" to be incorrect usage? At it's base, "enjoy" means "to take pleasure from." You can take pleasure from an inanimate object as easily as you can an action. Enjoying is itself the action.

Who tries to sell stuff at a public speaking class? I mean, really?

And wraps! Don't forget the belly wraps!

Both of my grandmothers have names that start "Mar," which lead to much confusion when I was learning to speak. One of them collected things with geese on them. So, she decided to go by Grammy Goose. Like Mother Goose. She's always been a fantastic storyteller, so it was a good fit for her. Of course, I ended up…

As the article is titled "Great Opening Sentences from Classic Fantasy Novels," I don't see why this is a problem.

Yeah... I'm wondering if they're not just some stock photos fit into the writer's made up blurbs. The voices all sound too similar. Plus, the barbershop guy? I dunno if barbershops have changed much in 50 years, but they're more about combs than hairbrushes.
