I don’t know about the PCOS, but I finally started to use it after discussing it with my doctor. I recommend you check with yours, and I hope it works for you!
I feel like women with hair loss get terrible advice, which I have already seen offered here — ‘Minoxidil is super intense so only use it as a last resort.’ I…

Nope, nothing.

This. And here is my deal — because all the research says that it is for male pattern baldness and my hair loss is at the temples, I let that convince me not to bother trying Rogaine for the longest time. But then when I did start using it, it did work for me. So I lost all that hair in the meantime for absolutely no…

I use it for exactly what you are describing -- my forehead getting higher and thinning over the temples, a la Jessica Tandy. It helps.

...and she literally said she isn’t using it. I am telling her to get off the fence because it is all loss and no (Ro)gain(e) to wait. That is why I said use THE Rogaine, not “Hey have you heard of this great stuff called Rogaine?”

Hey Esther, if you are losing your hair don’t fuck around with biotin-infused hoo-hah. Use the 5% Minoxidil (Rogaine or drugstore generic equivalent). Start using that shit now. Speaking from experience, there is literally no upside to waffling and trying non-minoxidil alternatives. Just go straight to Minoxidil and…

Jemaine Clement, Craig Robinson, and Emile Hirsch is the easiest round of Fuck-Marry-Kill in the whole wide world.

So Pearl’s original drag mama never taught her the golden rule: Save it for the stage. RuPaul taught her what she needed to know. Never question mother’s methods!

I am wildly fortunate in that I was fifteen when this movie came out. I am not a big costume drama nerd, but this movie was just the greatest and every scene is scorched into my memory with its astonishing awesomeness. Not having seen it in thirty years, I still remember how horribly awkward it was when Daniel Day…

Slight correction — true Granny Panties are not form-fitting (see below). They are slightly baggy, because they were originally worn under full skirts or baggy chinos or jeans (in the 1950s). Since I am old, I still remember trying to get away with them under the tight Jordache jeans of the 70s. They left telltale…

As they say in my kid’s elementary school, ‘Don’t yuck my yum.’

Due to genetics, my 13 year old is tall and thin with long legs. I’m going to have to talk to her about body image. Great. Thanks.

Also try having a red-haired baby — lots of grabby strangers (especially Asian tourists wanting to have their pictures taken with the bizarre looking baby they encountered on their visit to the States).

Michelle Obama and a room full of librarians is a party I definitely want to attend.

I had the same take — I read this and thought, “Oh man, you are the daughter of Diana Ross and a powerful music executive. Your options when making this life choice have always been fortified by sweet, sweet money.”

I like the notion of Anne Lamott being a standup comic.
