I would imagine that Simsbury at large is pretty much as you remember, but the people who actually are into Bikram and the folks who run that place are sort of unusual. And it's such an awkward, sweaty, torturous, unattractive thing to do, it's a bonding experience.

I shave my legs to accommodate the gender normative preferences of my partner and my employer and my culture. I consider it a pain in the ass, but not a big concession, since I also benefit by not being perceived as an even bigger weirdo than I am anyway or subjected to random abuse on the street. I am not interested…

On the one hand, I like to see soulless corporations, or Katy Perry called out. But on the other hand, I want to preserve the tradition appropriating sacred symbols for subversive expression, because I love punk and shock rock and outsider art and bucking gender roles and I'm an atheist whose sick of seeing the…

I saw this one boy-lesque performer do a gymnastic striptease to "Faith" and it WAS cute.

other than the lyrics being quite poserly, I wouldn't take this opportunity to rag on the band either. They capture the style of the time, or a style of a time, and there's good guitar solos and a catchy melody. He's only the bass player in a band that does very little with the bass. And his creeping on chicks back in…

ok, I googled it... sounds like she was doing some kind of vagin-ey monologue, so going pussy-centric makes sense. I may be just extremely evolved, but to me feeling like your vagina died is not the same as saying that your boyfriend was bad in bed. I don't know about you alls out there, but when shit fizzles in my…

what's wrong with that statement (genuinely curious). she's obviously speaking metaphorically. People speak about a "part" of themselves dying all the time, in response to this or that... she just specified which part.

She's very pretty but anyone else want to call bullshit on Lancome's "unique vision" and this blatant hijacking of progressive sentiment to sell the same old beauty myth. It's the most cynical brilliant thing ever: "If we just rebrand all the things you used to do for him, or for them, as stuff you do 'for yourself'…

In the same article a person from GLAAD also says that he's not sure it's a hate crime and that it's despicable regardless. I would have read both comments as having the same point. That at this stage in an investigation the circumstances and the motive have not been uncovered yet. If they are early in an…

The Ks are indeed awful, bad for society, and the least we can do is rant about them here.

So, not really anything like a shock collar then (in that although it uses an electric stimulus, it does not use painful/annoying electric shocks as a form or "positive punishment" conditioning). Great clickbait! Where is the device that will remove my hunger for satisfying blog posts?

Pardon me while I culturally appropriate your comment for something that's been on my mind... The other day I was shopping in a local shop for local people, a boutique clothing shop with locally produced clothing designed by a Japanese lady/gay white dude fashion partnership (that used to be marriage, with a now…

Let me throw on another THANK YOU! I pretty grossed out by the remarketing of misogyny as empowerment. That is what I see it as. Re Fucking Marketing. Or rebranding. Like it's some kind of giant coincidence that all the things that used to be widely considered disempowering because you did it "for him" or "because it…

Seriously. Those are also "every hipster's glasses," also maybe "every fashionable nearsighted lesbian's glasses." This website makes like Terry Richardson is some kind of special problem. Like there's not actually a "fashion problem" where the world just needs to see so many very young, naked ladies in compromised…

Never had chai before? What did you put on your resumes?

Can you be a little more informative? This reads like a critical review of picture of a cat with words on it. Would people who enjoy actual brewed, spicy chai enjoy this beverage? Or is it just another syrupy sweet thing that Dunkin Donuts regulars would like?

I sure enjoy this program and the acting achievement, but I'm failing to see how strong female or gay best friend tropes are being subverted. Maybe being done well? Keep on bloggin'!

I boned a few musicians in my day. Nobody considered famous outside of METAL, but I'll never understand the double scandal standard against a little groupiesexaction. I mean, people at their singlest and saddest have most regrettable hookups with say, the town drunk. And then it's awkward and you wouldn't want to own…

This was my assumption. If I did something embarrassing or damaging to a garment, I'd probably make like I intended to buy it, and then re-hang it myself. I have totally never done this (that I can recall), but the scenario has entered my imagination during some near wardrobe malfunctions in the dressing room. When I…
