I bought a copy from Amazon.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, this post made me openly weep. Frequently this is part of why we stay.

And here I thought I was alone in this.

All pointe shoes are ballet shoes, but not all ballet shoes are point shoes.

Right, but they weren't getting paid.

Does anyone else find the name “Crosswhite” to be extremely ironic? I wonder what the origin of it is... o_O

I have a feeling it is more like gas lighting than “spousal dedication”.

No, you're not alone. I'm pretty shallow too, but with arousal, it moves further inside a bit.

How much do you want to bet that is a douchy “tribal” tattoo poking out of his sleeve?

I haven't seen it for less than $2.49, and that was on sale. $3.99 is the norm.

I live for the Arm & Hammer. It can be such a bitch to find non-antiperspirant in the women’s aisle. Pardon me, but I don’t think it’s a great idea to rub aluminum on my freshly shaved pits. Just asking for trouble.

Once again...making Sansa’s rape part of a man’s redemptive arc instead of her own.

I am a costume designer, I am 100% aware of how this works. The focus could have just as easily been on the floor, on Ramsay’s feet, on the ceiling, on ANYTHING.

And once again, the rape of a woman is used to develop a male character.

Thank you for clearly articulating this instead of just implying that I am “grinding my favorite axe.” You've got some really valid points here. I just hope they don't make what happens after all about Theon rescuing Sansa. Girl needs to rescue her damn self!
