I suppose I should cross-post this to GT? I don't know how many people follow PR regularly. :)
Ask A Women's Studies Instructor
So, hi, y'all. You might remember me. I haven't been around much lately, but since Slay is interested in getting The Powder Room to be more active again, I told her I'd try to post here on a weekly basis.

As a follow up to this, I just wanted to share that Toshi Reagon has posted this response to the Righteous Retreat being held at a plantation.
Christmas Morning with my Family
Me: OHHH MOM, YOU GOT ME THE COLORS OF NATURE PALETTE, THANK YOU!
Aunt: Colors of NATURE? You don't wear the colors of nature!
Me: Well they're the BRIGHT colors of nature.
Uncle: The colors found in nature's brothel.
Aunt: The colors of nature fucking.
I MADE A THING.
McUncool and I have a running joke about this, so I decided to make it into a thing. :) Feel free to use it whenever appropriate!
Ani Difranco, I Am Disappoint.
Even though there is NO WAY I could begin to afford it at $1000, I still freaked the fuck out when I saw that my beloved Ani Difranco is hosting a "Righteous Retreat" next summer.
Advent Calendar Propriety
Alright, y'all.
GoT/BtVS Mashup
LOVE.
There's still time!
Since I posted this in the middle of the night, I just thought I'd repost it to say: there's still time to say Happy Birthday, McUncool!

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I AM SO FUCKING CRAMPY TODAY. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING POKING MY UTERUS FROM THE INSIDE! PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY (MC)UNCOOLEST FRIEND. <3
GROUPTHINKIANS: IT IS THE BIRTHDAY OF ONE MCUNCOOL.

Ok, ok. Even though I said I wouldn't, I've changed to a holiday name. APPARENTLY I AM A FOLLOWER AFTER ALL.

I figured someone would end up sharing this to GT. Might as well be me.
Comments on my IUD post.
So as I mentioned, I got an IUD today and posted a picture my ultrasound of it to Facebook. I should say, I didn't moderate visibility of the post—it's available to anyone on my Facebook friends list, including friends, family members, colleagues, students, etc. I'm kind of shameless.
I got an IUD!
Does this mean I'm a cyborg?
Happy Thanksgiving
Everyone has their own little holiday traditions.
My Christmas Present to Me
So, ever since I heard about it back in October, I've been jonesing for the Ciate Nail Lab, which is a do-it-youself nail polish frankening kit. It appears that it's only sold (at least in the US) through Sephora, and so when I looked at it yesterday on their webpage and saw it listed as sold out, I started to worry…
Beauty Box - Llarowe's A Box, Indied.
Woohoo! I signed up for my first subscription beauty box this month. As many of you know, I loves me some makeup and especially nail polish, so I'd been eyeballing a number of beauty box subscriptions for a while now. Many of them run in the $25-50 range, though, and given my monthly budget for beauty stuff has been…
Holyshit! KillerMartinis got HuffPo-ed!
Has someone already posted about this? Probably, right? I'm sorry if I missed it! But someone just posted this on Facebook and I thought, "Wait, I've read this already!" Scrolled down, and sure enough. KillerMartinis! WOW.
