I think the long hair may also have been tripping them up. People’s faces look longer when they’re wearing long wigs/have grown their hair out. Whenever I cut my hair from below shoulder length to above, it takes a few days for me to adjust to my face looking different.

I get “you look Jewish” all the time. Um, thanks. You look Methodist?

Whoops, I’m late to this going away party, it seems. Millihellen was my favorite part of Jezebel! I’m so sad it’s folding.

I actually explained my aversion to hand washing in the sink a few responses up or down. I don’t find it easy at all.

Alright! Mesh bags for the win. Thanks for your suggestions, much (or should I say “mesh” appreciated).

It does, but some of the newer washing machines have a hand wash cycle. I do not have access to those, and I loath washing anything heavier than lingerie in the sink because getting the water out is such a pain. I know the whole roll it in a towel thing and it never seems to work.

I was thinking I kind of wanted a red one until I saw it’s hand wash. Hand wash and dry cleaning are the bane of my shopping existence. I live in an apartment building and we don’t have a fancy hand wash cycle on our machines, nor do I trust the gentle cycle to not tear items to shreds.

I thought I read somewhere he had a bad meth problem.

I’m an unabashed DWTS fan, and while I was initially routing for Bindi, I gotta say I’m a little bored with her. I feel like the caliber of dance has been a little lower this season than in others, but I’m Team Nick all the way, and I was neeevvvvver a Backstreet fan. He’s kinda hot in a Florida sort of way.

I love the socks. I actually scrolled down to the comments just to praise them.

I think their clothes improved as time went on. Let’s remember the context, both in terms of their worlds and ours. That whole jeans and tee shirts as fashion hadn’t been yet been popularized by the spendy brands when GG debuted. Premium denim and the shirts you wore with them weren’t quite on the fashion radar yet,…

Agreed. I have absolutely not comment on the racism angle, but Alek has really slipped in my esteem this last couple of weeks. He used to seem really charming and now, not so much.

Damn Dancing with the Stars is actually making me like Nick Carter.

The only thing I “cooked” this week was when I heated up some Trader Joe’s frozen risotto with mushrooms and threw a handful of cheese in there since it obviously wasn’t unhealthy enough. At least you tried!

Yeah, that’s a little young. I found my first grey at 23.

My stepmother convinced me a few years ago that mid-30s is too young to be going grey, and that I should dye my hair, so I started spending 100 dollars at the salon once every few months to get my hair dyed a color not as nice as my natural dark brown, that also made it all dry and frizzy. The other day, after lapsing…

I’ve really been appreciating 70s and 80s era makeup recently. It has come to my attention that my round eyes don’t look any better with upper eyelash cat eyeliner that has been all the rage for the last few years, but when I smudge a line of dark grey liner under my eyes, kind of in the waterline, I look sexier and…

Chiming in to defend the piece. I think the point is that you can like makeup and be a feminist, but that perhaps social pressures to look perfect at all times and maintain a certain public image (thanks to selfie culture and social media) is causing people to go to extremes. I love makeup and have since I first…

Gosh, how shocking that the American Meat Institute, friend to CAFOs and multinational food conglomerates everywhere would push back against this.

Trading Spaces was the best. Doug was a heartthrob for the snark-prone and I loved how Genevieve would always decorate around a particular object she found her travels.
