Crazy how all this fluctuates. I’m a bowl of pasta or two above 140 at 5’3 and wear between an 8 and a 10 depending on the brand. I’m petite and womanly, but nobody moos at me when I walk down the street or anything.

Gosh, perhaps wine is just like everything else in life and not applicable to blanket statements pertaining to its enjoyability? Could it be that some cheap wine tastes bad to some people just as some expensive wine tastes bad to some people? There are plenty of 12 dollar bottles that are perfectly yummy and some that…

I scrolled down specifically to see if anyone had addressed this matter. My gals are a 34-DD—hardly dainty, and there’s no way this would be happening on my chest. With implants, sure, but not run of the mill, natural, 38 year old breasts.

I also hate shopping. I have a great sense of style (sort of a snazzy preppy/gamine mishmosh), but a body type that rejects said looks, so how I dress isn’t an accurate reflection of my style.

But sometimes thirst doesn’t feel like thirst. Most people associate thirst with that dry mouth feeling, which it certainly is. But thirst can also masquerade as hunger or low blood sugar, causing many to think they need food when actually they need water. Moral of the story: if you think you feel hungry but just ate…

It’s also worth noting that most Lilly stuff is pretty hard to wear if you’re not a twig. I love me some 60s inspired shift dresses, but as a lady with boobs and hips, I find most of her stuff really difficult. Most of those shifts are made of stiff cotton, which does not move with you at all. I find them super…

Not that this really excuses it, but I saw this more as her fat shaming herself. Again, didn’t say it’s okay, but that’s the context I inferred. Particularly because the caption on The Cut said it was a workspace of an employee not pictured. Probably because she considers herself too hideous to be photographed?

She was also notorious for wearing these little shifts sans underwear.

My good two-shoes ex accidentally smuggled weed on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. We discovered it once we arrived in Paris, and I was super psyched to have it to enjoy with a nice bottle of wine and cheese on the balcony of the place were staying, but he seemed a bit horrified. It’s probably the most deviant thing…

I tried it once for a hangover and the taste was so unpleasant it made me feel worse. I think hangover cures very greatly among individuals. For instance, most people swear by grease, but that makes me feel worse too. If you’re only mildly hungover, I think the best remedy is a medium impact workout (like, a brisk…

Score them some weed* and a nicer vaporizer. It will help take the edge off. And the part about empathy is key. I actually read this with great interest to see if it was mentioned. Related: don’t judge them. I doubt you’re perfect either.

Totally. The thing non-smokers don’t get is that smoking is fun. And while non smokers might understand on an intellectual level that “quitting smoking is hard,” I don’t think anyone can truly understand how hard it is unless they’ve tried to do it. You also have to really, really want to quit, or else you’re going to…

In defense of folks who don’t know what they want, sometimes people look to their stylist for guidance on what will look best with their features and their hair type. I’m getting a cut this weekend, and I’m honestly not sure how short I should go, or if I should wear it naturally curly, or continue to blow it out. I…

I'd much rather eat pasta than squeeze into stupid, trendy denim.

And chillin’ with Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada!

He’s also a bit more open to African Americans than some of the other characters. I wouldn’t dare call him progressive or enlightened, but he’s slightly less racist than the rest, which is kind of something considering how old boys network he is.

I’m guessing you don’t care, but it’s not his wife who is dying, it’s his ex.

Exactly. AND it’s not like crunches burn fat. I’m pretty sure I have a six pack due to all the pilates I’ve done over the years, but it’s hidden under a layer of abdominal fat. Some people simply have squishy bellies (and a proclivity for pasta).

me too! I guess us short and curvies don’t all look great in the same styles. We probably all carry body weight in different body parts.

Shit, this sounds awful. I used to refer to these as “Britney jeans” since Britney Spears (see above) always wore them. Jeans shopping, never a treat, was particularly terrible in that era. I remember being brought to tears by many a pair of Earls and Sevens and what have yous, and I was a size 6 back then! Do we…
