I'm a 36-year-old woman who has a pretty good job and goes home to an empty apartment every night. This is how that makes me feel:

I love McQueen and I love this gif...which is now saved as stevemcqueenisnotimpressed.gif on my computer.

Not nearly enough (says the cranky old lady who is sick of seeing through women's skirts. I don't want to see the outlines of your thighs beneath your not un-sheer skirt.).

He was amazingly good in Treme.

Didn't he kind of have a moment like this? I seem to recall after he cheated on Thurman and left her, he tried to justify his actions in some interview by saying all the most interesting men, like himself and JFK, cheated on their wives. You know, because he's a great artist or something.

Pfffft. Curling is awesome and not at all boring.

I will attempt to work "her sext is plain to see" into every conversation I possibly can now. Thank you.

Now playing

I actually prefer a flatter roll, so I've never entirely perfect my bigger victory rolls. When I veer into that territory, I tend to re-roll. But, the biggest roll tricks are to: 1. Backcomb the shit out of it first or make sure you have a really strongly curled base to begin with. If you're starting on relatively

One of my favorite period details on Boardwalk Empire is everyone looking a little sweaty during the indoor scenes meant to take place during the summer. And then I say to myself, "Dude, I can't even imagine getting through an east coast summer without air conditioning. Hurray for A/C!"

I am now having flashbacks to a paper I wrote in college about the shift from actual knightly chivalry to the romantic literary version of the Canterbury Tales. I got a 97. I was well proud of that paper at the time. Heh.

As a fellow history student from back in the day, using "chivalry" to describe anything other than a code for knights annoys me. But, I'm pedantic like that. :)

Nice. My academic work was in history as well, even though, sadly, I don't use much more than my research skills in my current job.

#1 on my bucket list is dancing on a lighted disco dance floor.

Yeah, I rock a vintage look most of the time (vintage and vintage repro clothes, I pincurl my hair, etc.), but when people say things to me, like, "You must feel like you were born in the wrong time, right?" I say, "No damn way." I like modern amenities and technology, and, you know, not being a woman in the past.

YSL lipsticks are definitely on the...slimy, for lack of a better adjective, side. I prefer a dryer lip product myself, so I like MAC, NARS (though they lean toward maybe a little too dry), and Make Up For Ever. Guerlain and Kevyn Aucoin are good for softer, but not slimy, formulas.

I'm with @vickyolaa. MAC's Russian Red (with Cherry liner) all the way. Make Up For Ever used to have a perfect non-matte red, but, of course, as with all things good, they discontinued it.

His obvious dry-mouth, shaky-voiced nervousness that started about midway through was my favorite part.

As are the entirety of your responses in this thread. If combating and ending unwanted attention was as simple as telling men, "Hey, stop, I don't care for what you're doing," don't you think we'd do that? But, it's not, as you've been told too many times to count.

"What you keep choosing to ignore is that when women are assertive, we often get even more negative consequences that when we try to ignore these types of inappropriate behaviors."
