@newmakcity: Totally...how old is he in that pic, anyway? Want to know if I'd be a cougar if he somehow was flash forwarded to 2010...hehe Anyone under 22 would get me to cougar status (I'm 30, divide that by 2 is 15 and then add 7 makes the magic number, 22)

@mwynn13: Mmmmm, yes.....and the hair makes him 3" taller...

@Teh Echoroc: I don't get the capri-hate (other than the fact it looks awful on lots of people), considiring that the pant is longer than most skirt suits.

@shengokai: Right, but different people have different views. For example, a Hong Kong woman who is a doctor and married to a bank executive probably worries more about having time to spend with her kids because she and her husband work long hours, leaving the kids to a nanny (most upper middle class households in…

Would it be more appropriate to say that the feminist blogsphere is North American, middle class, able-bodied and white-acting? I am sure that there are plenty of non-white women who relate more to a middle class/white feminist than one from their own culture because of the way they were raised, etc...

What's with the texting, Elisabeth?

Baroque pieces are easier for tiny hands, but Romantic period pieces are NOT. She's only 6 and it's unlikely she can reach an octave yet (I wasn't able to until I was nearly 10)

$1,000? Is something wrong with it?

@lucysnowe: Exactly. I couldn't help wonder if she meant it to be slightly racist - Toronto DOES have a lot of Asians compared to many other places, and many, especially 20-somethings are quite thin.

I just wish that people would stop telling tiny women that they look like they're going to "disappear." One girl I know commented on how "thin" Toronto women are compared to Alabama and how she many times she's almost caused an accident because she "didn't see the ladies."

Traditionally in Chinese culture, it's the guy's side who pays. However, things have shifted, of course and both sides share costs. And Chinese weddings can cost A LOT, since the bride often has at least three dresses (white western dress, red and gold Chinese dress and at least one other dress to wear towards the…

Are we more likely to be EMOTIONALLY abusive than men, which makes it even more difficult for guys to report, because there are NO PHYSICAL SCARS?

I would have liked to know what she thought the CHARGES would be up to today, especially the other Pike kids as well as Charlotte (CharJo!!) and Jacky.

@MagsCO: I'd say writer or Real Housewives/High Society type reality show producer. After all, her favourite game was snooty hotel lobby....er....Let's All Come In

@doit2julia: It's the same thing for short people... At LG Fashion Week this past week, I had the opportunity to meet a menswear designer. Dude was really, really short (like 5'4 or something), so I asked him if he'd ever consider creating a few pieces for shorter men. Idiot said that guys are better off going to…

@RedBettie: Oohhh...maybe that's why I got confused. I never read the later books!

I just read the article. Since when was Shannon both in elementary and middle school? At the same time? I always remembered her being the same age as Kristy and the gang. Was this an early book that I forgot about? I'm pretty sure I read every book up to #40 or so.ETA: Speaking of the BSC, is it weird that I've always…

@athenaswisdom: Yeah, but what if you come from a culture where FOB means you over-spend? I mean, I spent much of my twenties wearing "regular mall brands" because all the Hong Kong women in my circle were all about lux brands...well, lux/mid-range brands that people in Hong Kong have heard of, anyway.

For older people in my culture, brand names and brand awareness seem to be very important - at least that's the vibe I'm getting. If I don't purchase mainstream mall brands, then I'm into up-and-comers or brands who've mostly established themselves in the past ten years or so. My mom thinks I'm wasting my time/money…
