Wait...are we sure that this Diamond Ranch Academy that kidnaps children from their homes in the middle of the night and is located in Utah isn't just a cover for an elaborate FLDS brainwashing compound?

Am I totally alone in thinking that Solange should be the Queen Bee of the Knowles family? Solange can sing better than Beyonce, has better songs than Beyonce, and has better fashion sense than Beyonce. She's less nasal than Beyonce, and just seems like a cool chick all around.

I got a pixie last year because I, too, have that frizzy hair. It's curly on the bottom layer, wavy in the middle layer and frizzy on the top when air dried with no product. I would have to wake up at 3 to get myself presentable for work, and that was only with a slightly longer than chin length bob. The pixie was…

The late 80's/early 90's. I had a hard time accepting leggings when they first came back. I wouldn't touch them. I kept having nightmares about stirrups and when people would wear them with only the shirts that had snaps in the crotch (like onesies) for grown-ass women. Then there was the oversized tee over the…

Disagree. Have you seen the adorable sets they have for little girls with leggings and tunics? It makes life so much easier when you can just wash them, group them together in the coordinating sets in the drawer, and your five-year old is dressed in a lovely coordinating outfit. She gets the satisfaction of picking…

My glasses wearing inspiration is Lisa Loeb. Basically, I look at the frames and say to myself "What would Lisa Loeb do?" This has been my modus operandi yearly when it's time to get my new prescription since "Stay" was a hit. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

I can understand the benzedrine, it is speed after all, but codeine? I don't get it.

A few decades ago you could get codeine and benzedrine OTC in the US. Jim Carroll details his teenage years drinking codeine cough syrup in the Basketball Diaries. Jack Kerouac would pop open a Benzedrex nasal inhaler and drop the stuffing into his coffee and write all night. However, both of those things were far…

My daughter didn't really have visible hair until she hit about a year old. I didn't sweat it. I also delighted in finding baby clothing in black, and regularly bought from the boys section too, because pastels are so blah. I didn't actually care whether people knew if she was a boy or girl out in public because…

Ooh, ooh! He could be the really, really bad musician who thinks he's insanely talented, and none of his friends have the guts to tell him otherwise. (I think that would actually make a great Portlandia sketch).

Until recently, she was in a relationship with Alexander Skarsgard, which is probably the only thing I'd want to do if I were in that position (wink, wink).

I thought the Sum 41 guy was far more suited for her, a poppy faux-punk match made in hell.

I wasn't a teen when these people got big, early to mid-20s, but I do appreciate current pop music, I always have. I will cop to having Girlfriend on my MP3 player at one time, it was silly, bratty fluff. Nickelback, on the other hand, always made my ass twitch. And my thoughts on Evanescense were always 'can this…

I have a legitimate fear that my daughter, once exposed to children at school, will want to enter pageants.

Channing Tatum was tedious until the last few weeks when he started making fun of his image all over the place (This is the End, the Jimmy Kimmel short Channing all over your Tatum) so now I find him likeable, even if he isn't the pinnacle of male sexiness in my eyes.

The dancing made me a little ill. I could appreciate the skill that went into it, and any reason to look at shirtless Joe Manganiello is a good one, but I was totally squicked out by the performance pieces. That being said, I've seen it twice all the way through. I like the story despite the icky factor.

The worst is that they don't act like any other roach on the face of the earth. They're scared of nothing! If I go outside at night, turn on the porch light, they just keep doing whatever they're doing. I had one scurry across my foot last month when I took the trash out after dark. I nearly passed out.

OMFG the tree roaches. I worked in Baltimore goddamn City, and I never saw a roach so big in my entire life. They're terrifying.

Great observations, but I'd add one thing...the Suburban racists try to disguise their racism as classism in the North. They frequently use codes like "Section-8", "Welfare" "Food Stamps" instead of black/brown. They say these things, specifically leaving race out of it, but the implicit meaning is that Section 8…

As a MD native, I can assure you that the song is not well known at all—I can't say I ever heard it in public in 31 years. It's an embarrassment to the super-dems, I'm sure. If O'Malley wasn't so busy hiking the taxes on EVERYTHING in the state, they might have time to fix that in the legislature. We may be the Old…
