This is just like those Anastasia eye shadow palettes. 

my stepmom was hit repeatedly growing up and would even laugh when she told stories of when beatings would occur over meaningless things/accidents, like it was a hobby for adults. she also would claim “I turned out fine”, husband#1 (deceased) was a verbally abusive alcoholic, husband#2 (my dad) is an…

And Georgy Girl is such a fun song! 

But they’re...like...exclusive orthopedic shoes, for the ballin’ elderly Floridian!

I couldn’t figure out what was making me extra mad about this and then I remember her entire US launch was used the Australian lower-middle class interpretation of hip hop culture as part of her schtick. Now, I don’t remember her ever engaging in black face or using slurs, but in retrospect it is much more suspicious…

honestly, it’s great, and I really look forward to getting them. I’m a little sad they stop at age 6 because I welcome any wisdom the state has to share with me about my children through at least their 30s.

Way back in 1966. Maybe it was a little more dramatic than comedic —

YES.

What about if one lead is Black and the other white? Something New, starring Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker, is really good and features the Black upper class! (Also, Simon Baker. Yum.)

I volunteer at an arts and crafts class for kids and am really looking forward to trying out this advice. Thank you for posting this.

Isn’t that what elderly people in Florida wear when their knees start going out and the doctor recommends orthopedic footwear?

Every single person who uses that line may have come out unscathed themselves, but every single one of them also has a story about the kid who drowned because he couldn’t swim/had no life jacket, the teen who died in a car wreck she would have walked away from had she been wearing a seat belt, the boy who got his arm…

I am a sneakerhead. I have 60 pairs of sneakers. I have enough pairs that I’m just estimating, really. I also don’t particularly love spending money, so a lot of my kicks were purchased off clearance racks at outlets—where already-discounted sneakers are discounted again.

Please tell me you called child protective services on this woman because that is straight up abuse.

Am I being a bush-league Robin Hood or a total wet blanket when I rally against people buying shit that they don’t want just to charge more money from the person who really does want it?  I have a similar take on sporting event/concert tickets. 

I am the only non-mom in my workplace and this strikes a deep chord.

It’s not that the idea is so original, but that the execution is flawless. The Ugg boots are a nice touch.  Crocks would have been better.

There’s one of those bullshit sneaker boutiques on my block, and suckers line up out front for whatever new kicks are coming in. I wish I had the kind of disposable income to blow hundreds of bucks on a pair of fucking shoes.

I’m 33, and some time in my late 20s I said fuck the cool shoes bullshit and since then have gone with New Balance and Asics running shoes. They’re grossly overqualified for my commuting and casual weekends, and provide maximum comfort.

I have officially graduated to Dad Sneakers; a couple years ago I tried buying some (very slightly) fashionable sneakers and they just killed my poor old man feet.
