A-FREAKING-men. I came here for all the delicious I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO-s. BELIEVE WOMEN, assholes. Believe women.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the New York Times? On its website it has published an account from five women. Is five a sufficient number?

Yeah, it may be an issue of not having had my first coffee of the day before I commented (eek); but it felt like she was being called out.

Are we really shaming older women who work in this completely imaged focused industry, and who have been subject to public scrutiny since their early 20s, for being concerned about their appearance (asking to be shot from a preferred angle)? When sitting amongst a group of people mostly 40 years their junior?

I was so disappointed when I realized the drunk people weren’t actually historians or history students...

In defense of the article, it didn’t say she wasn’t hot— it said she didn’t look like either actress. Which, even looking at this pic, is still true...

This is such a fabulous articulation of my feelings on the issue. Preach.

This accurately sums up how I feel too. I was like — WTF? Didn’t you JUST write a column about how you hadn’t taken your wedding ring off until the one year anniversary of her death? How you were still only just coming to terms? And now, barely two months after that, engaged? Side. Eye.

All of this. I watched this and just loved - loved - the focus on the women telling their own stories, but did find it curious that - as a series so focused on Baltimore - it was so lily, lily white.

My instinct is that it’s due to legal issues. They frequently jumped from statements like “we just don’t know who brother bob is” back to the ‘family tree’ infographic, which strongly suggests it must be Maskell’s brother... but they just never explicitly connect it.

Or some combination of those two scenarios (they lead him to believe what’s in the paper as an…

I initially read this as “Dean Koontz” which - aside from demonstrating my need for coffee - would probably have yielded a marginally more interesting collection. Marginally.

“Ms. Kidman and Ms. Witherspoon are executive producers of “Big Little Lies,” and you can see what they probably thought they had — a sexy mystery-melodrama that would also be a commentary on issues important to women their age (40s).”

Great! Now let’s see you insure it for the price of a Toyota Camry. :)

That’s pretty sad given that if I recall my Vanity Fair vanity pieces correctly, one of the reasons she fell for him was how he backed her up in her parenting of Maddox, and what a natural he seemed at it.

The indignity of it all is how freaking much they must be paying the school to live with her.

Just— if this happens, take your birth control, Amber. That guy is freaking *fertile*.

Dogs will eat their owners (except most German Shepherds, one reason why they’re preferred cadaver dogs); usually a bit later than cats but not by much.

I feel like this guy is the type that would bumble into the comments here to be all “hey! I was NOT pitchy!”
