In other news, I am obsessed with her dress.

I saw the same thing. Fuck those people.

Um, she is STUNNING. I mean that as part accusation, part compliment.

Show me a shelter with a million dollar budget + a staff that doesn't care and I'll show you Santa and all his elves flying through the sky on Christmas Eve.

Oh come on.... Did you LISTEN to it?? She is clearly trying to rhyme them by changing the way they should be pronounced.

I tend to like some of her stuff, but I think the whole thing is pretty much brutal. I ADORE some pop. This really missed the mark for me on so many levels... (not that my opinion matters, but you know...)

I know Pop can be terrible, but holy CRAP. Since when do "call" and "natural" rhyme? And that is NOT how you pronounce territory. By the way, that mattress does not looks safe.

I honestly did not mind this part at all. But that could be because I am very decisive. But it also could be because I am very non-traditional and wore a black gown to my small winter wedding in a tiny wine bar. I feel it's only as big of a deal as one makes it (which I am sure some people will disagree with...). The…

No apology necessary! There's no character limit to sharing your experience :)

Better material, better construction, more sizes available, WAY better customer service, more "every day" clothes for an active lifestyle, more high-performance wear, and the best return…

If one more person tells me that welfare is fun and people are just 'lazy', I'm going to print this story and give it to them. Well first I'm going to scream on the inside, but I'll follow up with giving them some reading. Poverty is not fun. Poverty hurts the most vulnerable among us. Surely we can do better.

The original blond bad ass hair cut. Obsessed with her. SO pumped about some new tunes to dance in my underwear to!

THIS. IS. EVERYTHING.

Hooray for episcopalians!! It's about the only brand of Christianity I can handle.

It's -11 where I live today. -30 with windchill. Hell, at least it's not -79. I'm looking at you: Antarctica.

Audra McDonald is magnificent. I didn't watch (or hate-watch) last night, but I skipped ahead to hear her in that first clip. She is perfection. That is all.
