@exhibitXYZ: That is such a cool idea!! I just saw a vintage cigarette case recently and thought how I wish I smoked so I could have it. And now I can, because I'm a sex-loving floozy! :)

@tomsomething: I personally wouldn't want it floating lose in my purse. I have so much crap that it could get pierced or ripped or something.

In theory this is great. And it's great for people who like using female condoms. But as it is male condoms aren't a sexy thing - not that it should stop anyone from using them. But the female condoms are HUGE. They don't store in your wallet as easily, and they really do look like a giant condom. And they look really…

While I don't agree that a man should have to pay for a woman on a date, I think Rudov has it completely backwards.

For many airlines, if you request and receive a exit row seat for the extra leg room, you now have to pay extra. So, without making this a political issue about size, airlines are allowed to charge what they want for seat space, and if you need more than one seat to fit, you should have to pay for it, no?

She looks just like Oksana, Mel's battered wife, here. Weird.

Every time I look at the thumbnail version of the headline picture at the top of the page I see Abraham Lincoln instead of Carey Grant. I have a very weird brain.

@girlarchaeologist: Hahaha, I have the urge to do this sometime today. But I'll try my best not to.

Can we write a response?

Maybe women lose confidence after 31 because everyone tells them that they've already peaked, huh?

This seems kind of related, but I'm not entirely sure how...

@sarasasa: I'm with you there. I choose not to have cosmetic surgery, so can I have more holiday days?

Oh, I think casting Katie Holmes in any role in any film is a mistake. She can't act! Whatever, I am also kind of looking forward to seeing a shifty-eyed, crooked smiling Joey Potter-esque Jackie O.

@GildaLily: Not sure I'll get a chance to read it, but thanks for the recommendation.

@introverted_innovator: I think both of those observations are very fair points, and are often overlooked by people with opinions on the case.

@DailyLattes: Me, too.

I think French women age more gracefully than, say, American or British women, is because they make an effort to stay stylish. So many middle-aged American mom-types just do the mom-jeans/sweatshirt thing, and I see many French middle-aged women wearing very classy and age-appropriate clothing and accessories.

Can we add cigarettes to the list of what French women (and maybe Europeans, in general) do to keep thin?

This makes me sad because I would like to think that this could happen to me, but I would NEVER pay even $5 for jewelry this tacky...

I did a few different samples of my academic work and all were H.P. Lovecraft. Purple prose - I haz it.
