I think we need to delete the YouTube Kids app. For the first time EVER my kids are asking for name-brand toys, and it’s come as a rude awakening. My daughter’s obsessed with LOL Surprise dolls, which are (to me) better-packaged Happy Meal toys that cost $10-14 a pop. My son wants a Hatchimal. 

Things add up quickly, but you can do it if you stick to your guns. Where you live also has a LOT to do with it. In major cities, venues can and do demand high minimums, and are more strict on using their vendors. I lived in a big east coast city, but got married in my hometown in the midwest, which helped a lot. We…

Perfect response from her, and perfect reaction gif(t) from you.

Great post, but I can’t get past Wendy Deng’s taste in men.  Was not aware of the Putin affair.  Pure evil is her kink, eh?

I’ll forever have a soft spot for Payless, the source of my first-ever high heels: a sweet pair of black Mary Jane’s that I wore to every damn bar and bat mitzvah in 7th grade.

For real. If this is the compelling content they’re offering, I can’t imagine it’s a ratings bonanza. He sounds like he just had dental surgery. And that’s nothing to do with his accent—he just has terrible diction. #thatswhatshesaid

Once upon a time, he was notorious for forcibly kissing and groping girls at parties. On top of generally being loud, rude and crass. When I see his face, I fully appreciate the concept of a trigger warning.

Fuck him very much. I’ve had the unfortunate distinction of having spent time around him, and he is truly a garbage person.  Shocking, I know.

Yeah, I’m torn.  There are some really intriguing people in the lineup, and others I actively avoid.

Yeah, I like them for their humor and outspokenness. But agree with Devonna that the Kardashian/Jenner alignment is quite off-putting.  I’ll likely listen to some of John’s Xmas music, but I think this special may be a bit much for me.

I was wondering the same thing. I imagine the rest must be made up for by christian/conservative donors?

All the more reason to like John Legend.  Classy move to step in where he didn’t have to and point out the obvious.

We have a Vertuoline machine, and I will say that it makes great coffee/espresso. However, as far as I can tell, you can ONLY use the official Nespresso Vertuoline pods for it. They’re not available in most stores, so you have to order from Nespresso or Amazon. They cost about $.85/ea for espresso, and about $1.10 for…

I know nothing about this guy, but love his face here.  It’s so genuinely happy and emotional.  

It’s infuriating to have to be like, “no, I’m here to do the actual big thing.” When I travel to conferences, I constantly face the (fleeting to outright) looks of surprise when the (white, male, older) person on my flight, or in my hotel, realizes I’m ALSO there for that event. I’m in my mid-30's and keep waiting for…

Right?!  Like go to your local Farmer’s Market or support your local CSA.

$176 PER MONTH for the fruit?

Kacey looks AMAZING. I love to see someone nail a theme while still looking current and chic. In the lead image, she looks like a Hilton in the face. Just me?

That would explain everything.  What a fashion plate to emulate... 

Oooh, then maybe I can still hold out hope that she’ll recreate Toni’s Tom Ford Gucci-era Unbreak My Heart white dress with the cutout that was the stuff of my adolescent style DREEEEAMS.
