@GiggleLoop: The vast majority of these brands target, well, your mom. If you check out the petites department, most outfits are more than MATRONLY. Petite women under the age of, say, 50, pretty much have three or four places to go to: Ann Taylor/Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, J.Crew and now Bebe (yeah, Bebe…

The pluses are lucky. Saks has no plans of doing the same with petites. See Racked post on it:

@shaken.not.stirred: The fashion editor's job is to deal with fashion, period, just like beauty editors deal with beauty.

She's a fashion editor, not a social issues editor. If they hired a white, non-ethnic (i.e. non-Anglo-culture) woman top write about social issues, then yeah, it's an issue (though it would be illegal to not hire someone based on race or gender). But as a fashion writer, it shouldn't matter. I mean, they could have…

@windchild: Totally awesome. But if I did that, my parents would be sooooo upset.

Cupid looks bored.

@MadisonGrace: Most Chinese weddings in the western world are mixed in with western tradition. Actually, make that most Chinese weddings PERIOD are mixed in with western tradition (i.e. I've never seen a wedding where the bride DOESN'T wear some kind of white or off-white dress). I have not seen a period movie…

When I got engaged last year, I told my parents that I wanted a nice, elegant wedding. They obliged, for the most part, so we will not have five dress changes, door games (which I love to call "groom hazing" - it's a Chinese tradition where the groom and his groomsmen try to pick up the bride, but the bridesmaids…

@eatingatoms: The Clintons know a lot of people, so it's possible that they got a good rate for a lot of things. Rumour has it that Chelsea's wedding gown is an Oscar de la Renta. His wedding gowns range from 7K to 10K+. It's possible that they didn't pay full retail for it.

@Hortense Smith: Too late to edit :(...

@Neroon: The second.

According to the article, Ms. Featherstone was also voted the most attractive MP. If she's considered pretty, I guess all the other Members of Parliament are downright NASTY!

I'm sure this has already been brought up, but the ham fight would have totally gone viral in 2010!!

@esprit-follet is slprflt-t: Yeah, but most Catholics also believe in modern medicine and are many are pretty knowledgeable about epilepsy (at least here in Toronto). I had a teacher explain to the entire class what seizures were to prep us for a kid with epilepsy who was joining the class.

@screaming_on_the_inside: Were the parents first generation Americans or people who still have strong connections to the old country? Because it often makes a difference.

Dear Westboro Peeps,

I thought the money issue partially had something to do with our wanting "selfish, independent ladythings" (or maybe it's just the shoes and bags).

I think Mad Men has increased the presence of more "old fashioned" drinks. I was at a media event for a fall/holiday launch recently, and there was a scotch sampling there. I had scotch on the rocks for the first time (sooooo stiff and soooo different from what I normally drink). The rep, who was from a local bar,…

@Sereene: A chubby cool liberal one or a tall, skinny stiff one?

Hey, who says Jon Hamm will be animated to look like Jon Hamm? Kim Catrall was on the Simpsons once, but she didn't look that much like Kim Catrall.
