Unlike stripping and prostitution, this is about the safest sex work you can do, except perhaps for selling your used panties on eBay.

It's been said before downthread, but how is that it's the women's rights movement that has screwed over poor women, and not our culture and economy as a whole? Ignored, marginalized - yes, I get that. But it's not the women's rights movement that is doing the screwing.

This Jenny Beckman sounds terrible. Come sit by me, honey.

I like to think that someone who thinks it's cheating to use store bought goods is actually milling her own flour, using eggs from her free-range chickens, chopping bits of chocolate off a bar she made herself, using organic fair-trade cocoa beans. You know, because she *cares*.

Hell, I'd just put $25 in the till and say "I'm done." I can imagine a woman with a full time job and four kids has many more things ahead of "making cookies to please the other moms" on her to-do list.

Lulu, the chances of chromosomal abnormalities increase as you get 35+, but they are still small. Go forth and procreate (when you're ready).

My sister and I have a whole theory about G.A.W. who wear Winnie the Pooh or other Disney, having to do with rejecting their own sexual selves after they have children, changing from "woman" to "mommy." We were going to write a book about it and get on Oprah, but then she cancelled her show.

Yeah, I'm still shaking my head at that guy.

Fuck you. "Frat" is an abbreviation. "Cunt" is a pejorative demeaning to women. It's not the same thing.

Do They Know Its Christmas is the best/worst Christmas song ever, with lines like "Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears." Drought making you cry? Pass the eggnog!

Would you tell your tattoo artist friend that she has my deepest respect. I wish others would take such a stand.

You are so lucky she didn't punch you in the nads. So lucky.

That Sara & Melissa Gilbert story is sweet. Sisters, jeesh!

Margarita & Cockatoo are staples in my wardrobe. Thanks, Pantone.

Me too - orange on orange works for me, esp. in summer.

Agreed, I see it as a good sign too.

It's the use of the passive voice that makes this a non-apology. "We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended" is passive and does not express that the fraternity was the "doer" of the offense. A proper apology would be worded something along the lines of "We sincerely apologize to everyone who we offended."

Those photos are confusing. I thought for a moment that Playboy had dolled Linds up in blackface for the shoot.

Love the shout out for Lagunitas, but don't tell all these bitches about it or there won't be any left for us. Shhhh.

My doc says I can wait until 45 because I have no family history, but I had one at 37 to clear a lump (it was nothing), so they have a baseline to compare future ones to.
