Regular Body Glide FOREVER. That stuff makes summer so much more bearable.

The Dr. Scholls one is good and tiny.

I know you hate shorts under dresses, but Thigh Society has been a freaking godsend to me. The fabric is sweat-wicking and the seams are removed from the inside of the leg so there’s no chafing there - and they stay in place pretty well. Might be worth a look!

Bandelettes! www.bandelettes.com I absolutely swear by them.

Road to Avonlea was half-funded by Disney, and the moneymen came down hard on Polley to try and mold her into one of their Standardized Disney Starlets (tm). Whereupon Polley told them to fuck right on off, weaseled her way out of her contract, and made a beeline for independent film.

My tears are crying.

No valid celine article leaves this off a list of favorites. INVALID I SAY. NO MOMENTS OF COLD. NO FLASHES OF LIGHT.

hahaha— so is celine comparing her relationship to rene to beauty and the beast? don’t get me wrong, i enjoy that song (and sang it with the sixth grade chorus in a concert), it’s just a teensy bit hilarious to me. mostly because i suspect she did that little joke on purpose.

Long time reader, first time commenter, and I just had to say that this piece is the best, longest, most artfully concealed buildup to a fart joke ever. I hope that your pitch for this story was “I have a killer set up for a fart joke, but I need you to send me to Vegas to see Celine Dion.” I laughed until I cried.

Sadly, yes.

I’m from Québec so grew up with Céline being an omnipotent being but I didn’t listen to her as a kid or anything (which doesn’t mean I didn't repeatedly hear all her singles from a very early age). Anyway these days I often have to have Céline documentary binges. They comfort me and make me cry (so shameful). The…

That sounds wonderful. It’s what I love about winter - always being able to shove my hands in my pockets. I would kill for this Keira Knightley dress.

I agree. I love Jezebel with a big smooshy heart but the way they write about my age group (I’m 40) just makes me feel...bad. We’re not all stupid, we understand and embrace technology and dear lord do we love us some pop culture and politics.

There is nothing better than going out in a nice dress and instinctively (more muscle memory than anything) trying to put your hand into a pocket that surely isn’t—OH MY GOD IT IS! THE DRESS HAS POCKETS! I will gladly patronize any seamstress who does “secret pocket” alterations to dresses and skirts, but I don’t know…

Celine owns and while I can get if it’s not someone’s thing I will totally gay gasp when people say that they hate her. When I saw her in Vegas back in 2006 it rocked my world, I need to go see her again.

I’ll play Eddie Izzard’s character.

Fun article. But please consider writing about (non-celebrity) older women as if they were other than useless, clueless, and only worth entertainment value.

Slightly OT but I covet dresses with hidden pockets and seeing that photo of Celine reminded me how awesome they are. I’ve never had any success finding any though. Are they just available to famous people? Any recommendations??

This was a JOY to read.

One time, a Scottish man jokingly tried to get me, a Canadian, to ‘apologize’ for Celine.

I’m sure they’re still finding bits of him strewn about Ayrshire.

I respect the hell out of Demi’s candor about her history and passionate beliefs, but, as a person who does not always do the best job keeping my opinions to myself, girl needs to keep a few opinions to herself.
