If I sustain eye contact for more than a few seconds, I get a "squidgy" feeling which is half anxiety, half arousal, and 100% uncomfortable. So, I prefer intermittent eye contact followed by—whatever. Sarcastic eye rolls. Looking up pensively, whatever comes naturally. I think making sustained eye contact with a…

Can I nominate Jon Bon Jovi as the best damn aging celebrity in the world right now? He's getting better looking every year and, damn it, he can still work frosted tips at 51. NOT FAIR.

I think this level of technical skill impresses everybody whether or not they're willing to admit it.

If we're going to be seeing Zoisa Mamet on our TV sets for the next 20 years, I would be willing to chip in for some acting lessons.

I'm not having a problem with tickets giving out for bare-assed hijinks on public streets—especially by a police department that was, no doubt, besieged by the most vile, drunken behavior imaginable this past weekend. That said, can the fashion police please do something about the out of control bare midriff situation…

A bald pubis looks like it belongs on either an adolescent or a sheep. *Not* sexy—and I can't figure out what people think it is. The landing strip formation and the Hitler mustache are both completely absurd. I prefer a little light trimming just to keep things tidy (I do the same) or a conservative bikini wax that…

It's possible I do underestimate it—- many of these folks may secretly hate the way they look. But I think there are many more comfortable, self-confident fat people out there than the blogs like this assume there are. People who either don't but into the stigma, or who don't aim to fit into a mainstream,…

A&F wants the money of people who have money: the white, middle-class and wealthy crowd who stigmatizes fatness and politicizes fashion. It was a stupid comment by the CEO (who is hardly a looker himself...) but it reflects a marketing strategy that works for them.

I'm tall and skinny and I can't find anything that fits either. I have to alter my clothes or get things tailor made. It's a drag. And I think it's rather bizarre to assume that fat women who choose to wear tight, revealing clothing in public are *not* feeling self-confidant and relaxed about their bodies. Working…

According to the statistics I read on obesity, fat people are hardly some tiny (no pun) minority: they're actually the fastest growing group (no pun) in the United States. They are included in every ethnicity, age and racial group, and they are rapidly expanding (sorry) within the middle and upper economic classes as…
