Women in the 50s also wore girdles, which decrease their waist size. Did they take that into account? Is the 27" waist WITH or WITHOUT them? Also, a 4 inch diff between waist and hips isn't all that typical for someone who is "healthy", unless one is older (i.e. post menopause) or in her late first/early second…

@Eric Northman is mine: I was thinking the same thing, until a poster on Television Without Pity said that nurses used to push the baby out by pressing on the mom's stomach. Sounds really barbaric to me.

@Island of Misfit Toys: But wouldn't someone with feelings for her be after the fiance?

I'm a fan of more traditional names. If I ever have children, they're going to have names like James, Edward, Elizabeth or Katherine. Boring as they may be, parents must keep in mind that a name has to sound professional - the child will be living with that name for the rest of his/her life. If your child's name…

The company still exists.

Suggestion to editor wannabes: Get a job and blog on the side :)

@PoisonPixie: But many non-celeb kids are raised by other people too. Most dual-income parents send their children to daycare. At least a nanny gives a child one-on-one attention.

@ohayou_kun: I know quite a few Asian people who're like your mom (including a few of my relatives). Most are immigrants. Makes me wonder why they came here in the first place.

I've seen plenty of white kids celebrate ethnic pride. I live in a big, multicultural city and I've seen various European cultures celebrate old-country holidays. As for other races - Asian History Month isn't really celebrated here - there is some publicity, but when it comes to celebrating ethnicity, it's…

@ArtfulSlinger: Sally will probably grow up to be the ultimate helicopter parent in the mid 2000s when her kids start college, judging from the kind of treatment she's getting from her parents.

Interesting use of historic symbolism: "Over There" (popular song during WWI) = the war of Grandpa Gene's generation and the burning monk = war of Sally's generation.

My immigrant, yet English-educated parents legally named me Cindy. I hated the name, but didn't officially ask to be called Cynthia until university. I officially changed it to Cynthia when I was in my early 20s. Today, only my parents and friends from high school call me Cindy. Everyone else, including my fiance,…

Sandra hooks HORRIBLE with blonde hair. Sorry, but she doesn't have the skin tone to be blonde.

While I'm usually an introvert, I find that networking events allow me to open up. I don't have to discuss my personal life - just my work. It's a little easier for me :)

Let's be equal here.....they need to post "10 Hottest Catholic Women" during Lent and "10 Hottest Jewish Women" during Yom Kippur.

Traditional print mags take too long to get things out. Sites like [Sweetspot.ca] or Daily Candy can post Fashion Week images (for example) immediately after shows occur (or even DURING)

Re the other party @ the club: Was it considered approrpriate for the country club set to have a wedding on Derby Day back in the early 60s?

In Toronto, South Asians and Chinese (I don't know why Chinese people are their own "group" while South Asians (Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, etc) are put together in another) are the largest visible minority groups. However, it seems that most homeless people are white. The first time I saw an East Asian homeless…

RE: women of colour - why is it that on this board, people are always looking at things from a US/Canadian/UK/Aussie/other western nation POV? Women in many non-western countries do have it at least as good, if not better (in many ways) than people here.

Town and Country definitely does NOT cater to a 25 year old and they definitely have luxury ads.
