That's adorable. I wish I were more like your friend. Because then I, too, could be friends with Connie Britton.

He is diagnosed as being mentally ill, with bipolar, mood disorders, and ADHD. It's very clearly about HIM. I would rather save my vitriol for someone who isn't so clearly troubled.

Shit, trigger warning, maybe?

Those are stores that are at the GOOD mall. I don't think Pawnee has a good mall. Maybe Eagleton.

Right? I don't have hang-ups about my arms being sloppy looking. I know there's no dress that's going to make me look svelte. What DOES bug me is dressing like I don't know that there are cuter, more stylish things out there. It bugs me whenever someone tries to have a conversation at me about my personal style,…

Well, there goes my Parks and Recreation comprehension, because I was sure that one of the reasons why this show was good was because of all the ugly the characters wear. I always thought that it was comforting that not even Rashida Jones could make that crap look ok. Come to find out, it's pretty and expensive! I…

Excellent analysis, mhckate. MHC=MoHo?

Really? Because I hate it. Looks like it doesn't fit right. The straps look like they are about to slip down. The hair doesn't balance the neckline. She's gorgeous, and no dress can ever stop that, but I feel that this one is very phoned-in.

And still only get a B+ because your professor can sense that deep down, you still think men in dresses are hilarious!

I remembered this discussion. Just finished reading "Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls" and was so, so in love with everything about it. Wanted to come say thanks, because I'd not have looked at it otherwise—the title is, short of being called "The Obscure Bird Sonnets Of Place Only Peace Corps and / or Rich People…

Sarah Silverman has actually said that jokes about fat women are offensive, as well.

Agree, totally and completely. The styling isn't doing this collection any favors, which is, on the whole, wearable, commercial, and accessible. Totally safe, yes, but there are many, many pieces here that I would want to have in my wardrobe—and would actually wear often.

But would it, though? Just because the vaccine might soon exist doesn't mean people will be able to afford it / afford traveling to get it.

I was under the impression (because of the "After Porn" documentary) that pornography is illegal in Utah.

This is probably a bit mature for a sixth grader, but Hilary T. Smith's Wild Awake is really good. A stellar depiction of a teen experiencing hypermania.

That, right there, is why I could never be an actress. Like, sure I can "sound mad" on cue or whatever, but the mannerisms and voice and . . . effing everything!! It's all different! Tina Fey is not Liz Lemon. At all.

If I walk into one more house that's decorated in burgundy and beige with occasional forest greens, I will scream. All of those rooms in the schematic read very "Heterosexual Couple With Male Partner Who Believes Color Emasculates Him" to me. Eff neutrals and muted naturals. This is a house, not Switzerland.

I once had a gig as an unpaid arts criticism blogger. I was very critical of LG, in part because I find her whole back story contrived and de rigueur for pop musicians. Four years later, and now I get paid for music journalism. Coincidence? I think not. Blogging is to journalism as open mics are to musicians.

Wait wait wait. Does THE Violet_Baudelaire live in a Great Lakes State???

I remember reading about family heirlooms in books and asking my mom about which ones I would get one day. She laughed in my face. It's only in the last generation or two that my family could afford jewelry or china, and that's because it's the kind of stuff you get at Walmart.
