A couple of years ago I was getting a pedicure at my local place and a woman walked in who had clearly gotten butt implants. I’d never seen them before in real life, and it was actually grotesque. She was a fairly slim woman with slim legs, and it looked like she had taken two giant water ballons and shoved them down…

My pleasure.  

Funny, I was just looking at the photo and noticing they used some sort of soft filter.  Glad I wasn’t the only one. 

pschroeter, I’m not a fan of Conway either, but the WWII head-shaving phenomenon was pretty effing creepy becuase it had little to do with punishing actual collaborators and a lot to do with humiliating women and scapegoating: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/jun/05/women-victims-d-day-landings-second-worl…

It’s true. When I was very young and foolish, I used to think all of these people walking around with expensive snow boots or tall rain boots were super pretentious, and just pretending that they lived in Maine or an LL Bean catalog or whatever. Then then I experienced my first marooning on a NYC slush island and…

Thank you.  This year was much better but I still want to host!

This on the milder side, but it was super depressing. My mom retired, sold the family home (where our dad died) and moved into the city. I live there as well, so my sister had the only space big enough to host Christmas. Our family was always pretty tight and really had fun with each other over the holidays. After my…

I love it in homemade hummus.  It’s sort of like truffles where you just want to keep eating to get more of that one magical taste.

Porn.

Terrifyingly convenient.  

I agree, the caramels are not good!  Very chewy and not very strong caramel flavor.      I love See’s too.  Where I live there really aren’t many stores where you can customize, but I always love it when I visit CA and can do exactly what you are recommending.  Yum!

Have you tried peanutbutter (not peanut) M&M’s?  They are a similiarly good time to reeses.

You are my people!  100 Grand Bars and Baby Ruths are my personal Halloween candy tradition.   Usually by actual Halloween I have already sated my lust for candy corn, though this year I do have a bag taunting me from the cabinet.  Earlier this fall I had to lock a bag in the car so I wouldn’t give myself diabetes…

We Have Always Lived in the Castle is legit uncanny.  It’s a slow burn of horror that stays with you, which is something I enjoy during this season in particular.

I was thinking, “Is that a...a fashion lifejacket?”

Heathers was a perfect jewel and shouldn’t be messed with in any way.

What was the follow up?  Did they end up at the ER?  

Pump up the Volume also introduced me to Leonard Cohen (I’m ashamed to say).  Everybody Knows was featured.

I don’t know enough about this to comment, but it makes sense. She seems to have an amazing team and parents to support her.  For that I am very glad.  

Ehh, I’m interracial and I disagree.  I’m happy that someone who is incredibly insulated can still access an internal compass and use it for good.  Every Republican woman who wakes up and starts to vote blue gets us one step closer to ending this nightmare.  My rage is reserved for those dedicated to protecting the…
