Wear them with pride. You live life and you learn. They are your battle trophies from your explorations of yourself. Would you tell someone who fought off a bear to hide their scars or cover them with tattoos? These are reminders of a where you once were but who you were then made you who you are now and you are so…

What is this thing you speak of? Asks a woman who has started seeing a man with a beard and wondering how long I can handle the scratchiness before I beg him to shave it off?

As a woman who doesn't usually respond to just "Hi" or just "hello!" on a street, I would beg to differ on how just those words alone being how most interactions start IRL. Street Hollerers ruin it for everyone, too. You need to start off with more. The best online conversation starters are a "Hello! That photo you…

I get offended by the "where are you from?" question. I think you are asking it from a point of genuine curiousity and not to offend but I would like to suggest you take care with your phrasing. I get annoyed when the question is asked of me after I've already exchanged a few lines of dialogue with someone. It should…

Also, you directly saved a life! Small dogs have 2-4 weeks and large dogs anywhere from 1-2 weeks to be adopted before they are euthanized at the NY AC&C. Excellent call and a very lucky pup!!! :)

I have adopted cats from rescue organizations but I have also rescued dogs with set euthanasia dates from the city pound. I will continue to use the word rescue in relation to my having stepped in made a difference in a life or death situation for a specific animal. One ADOPTS from a rescue organization/shelter that…

Take a look at Siamese cats from 100 years ago and now. Then they looked like cats. Rounder heads, bodies, and ears. Now they look like aliens with triangle shaped heads and so rail thin! :(

Racism is excused because they have an Asian friend? :(

As an Asian American woman who lives 5 blocks from where this party is being held. Are you telling me I have no right to be upset because of the address? I have a lot of White Neighbors and Black neighbors but not nearly so many Asian ones. I think White people who have no idea what it is to be in the minority and…

Yes, it's Crown Heights but have you seen this particular area (From Washington to Franklin and from Atlantic to Lincoln) recently? Most every sit down restaurant, coffee shop, and most bars are over run by young white kids. Melting pot it was; overrun by just out of college - 30 YOs priced out of Williamsburg and…

I'm the exact same size. They do exist but be prepared that they will be always be expensive :( My favorite is the Simone Perele Andora bra. I have 6 of them (purchased one at a time over the span of 3 years. They aren't cheap :( I used to treat my bras like crap but after having spent this much on them and…

Ummm, I don't know if you are feeding a high density food or not but you are still overfeeding your pug. While you never want to drastically reduce any weight (true for both pets & people) you should cut down the amount you feed your dog. I have a 90lb rottweiler who gets 2 cups of dry food and a half a cup of wet…

"If you're too damn tired to cook or clean up after cooking, then you're to tired to eat. Go to bed." YES!! YES!!! YES!!!! This will be my new mantra!

I completely agree that he sounds like an a$$ but oddly enough, I get why he's asking for a size 0-2. I'm sure he does know the difference. Googling this guy's name, I came up with his picture and discovered he's a slightly built man of East Asian descent. Being from a similar background, my father (who is…

Sorry, I just followed the link from the picture of the first dress and see it's a Chinese ebay dress. I purchased my dress at a chi chi wedding boutique here in NYC in 2009 (yes it took me 2 years to accept that if I got married to someone else they might be weirded out if I had save this dress) and it certainly…

I actually bought this very black and white mermaid wedding dress for my wedding that ended up never happening. I donated this never used dress to http://bridalgarden.org/about/ at the end of 2011. I don't know if the OP is in NYC or even if it has since been purchased but all the proceeds from their wedding dress…

I'm a thirtysomething Korean American woman with tatts. Not as many as Margaret but 5 palm sized pieces on various parts of my body. They are all well hidden for my conservative day to day life but they are there for me. I get why she is protective of her tatts as I am too. That being said, there is no way I would…

umm i'm a 36 - 27 - 36 and a size 6-8 in most clothing lines. I'm not sure where you're getting your size 0 from unless you are going solely off the waist measurement...

I have a 5.5-6 duck feet and I totally understand. I have had larger sized ladies argue with me that heels get proportionately higher, the larger the size but I still have yet to see 3" heel on a size 6 turn into a 6" heel in a size 12 :/ I recently have been reforaying into high heels again and have discovered…

Use a can opener. Seriously. It changed my clamshell life!!!
