I don’t specifically wash my feet in the shower (I do wash them at night though before bed, separately, if they’re dirty from being barefoot or whatnot) and I have literally never had a fungus, infection, Athlete’s Foot or any of that. Ever, my whole life.

It’s 100% a corset, either separate from—but more likely built into—the dress. Ginger’s comment about gothic architecture isn’t far off.

In the defense of the Giulianna I know, I just typo-d her name (the i is before the u, I had to check an old email). I don’t think too n’s is even close to the league Maddisyn is in, personally. Lots of names include a double n.

I’m pretty sure that’s a semi-common traditional Italian spelling, in line with Guilianna (Juliana is the more common American version).

My pleasure, and I absolutely know that street. I’ve been to a party at the home across the street, on the corner, and I used to park in that neighborhood often (usually a bit further down Garden, but all the same...) and walk to work downtown a few blocks away.

I’m not defending all mommy blog behavior—I don’t really even read any anymore, since things got so ‘sponsored post’—but in most cases aren’t the kids already getting a cut, functionally? In instances where the blog is the breadwinner’s primary income, as it is with many of the bigger blogs, then the money from the…

Well done. The thoughtful contrast between your understanding of Velva and her son’s memory of her is such an interesting take.

I have an acquaintance who worked on this so I’m excited to see it getting press. According to her, working on this film was a joy and she’s super proud of it—I have high hopes it’ll be quality.

Right? This is the very first thing I thought of. I use pretty much all Apple products but I get exasperated with the way they try to force technological change through surprise releases. They’d engender a lot more goodwill (consumer and otherwise) if they’d be more transparent about some of their plans.

A kid like this probably won’t experience the “typical” (relatively) trajectory of a more average student—he wouldn’t attend university, graduate with some sort of BA/BFA or even MA and then go into the workforce anyway. He’ll likely go through a PhD program of some kind, if not a couple. That will keep him busy for a…

Thank you. “Eat the rich,” and all that, but she didn’t even do anything tone deaf here, let alone wrong.

It’s not a remake, it’s a sequel. It’s a continuation of the same story years later, which Johnson says in the embedded Instagram post above.

I think they definitely are. I got a notice saying I’d been ungreyed almost everywhere, not just the Jez properties! I thought it might be a mistake, but here we are... Hey, I’ll take it!

Smart can have an opinion of her own, and she obviously does, but due to her unique experiences there’s almost no way she can be expected to look at the issue of porn in society objectively. It’s not fair to expect that of someone who was introduced to porn in the way that she was, and tempering that expectation…

Very much not looking forward to more productive days ahead sans Gawker’s special brand of snark... I’m glad to hear Jezebel will live on, if the powers that be take The Slot away I may have to read “real” news again.

This. While the complaints regarding Metzger are valid and I’m glad to see he’s facing repercussions for his statements, it is absolutely bullshit that there’s an expectation that people respond to the Internet Mob in real time. Presumably Schumer just fired someone she has (at least in the past) considered a personal…

Truth. I’m not even a horse person and I know this. Is this a country people thing?

Yes. I wouldn’t want him now (current version of him *or* current version of me with young version of him) because ... ew. But Monarch in Jr High? Yes. Very hot. Very fire.

Whoa! Bring the pain. ;)

Interesting theory about the FF series! I actually agree about Vin’s career as far as fame/star power goes (he really niche’d himself) but as far as millions... he’s probably alright. He has producer credits on a lot of his films including multiple FF installments, which have been major moneymakers. He’s like Mark…
