Nail polish is like therapy. I'm an artist and my hands are always getting cuts, ink-stained and sore from working, or grease-stained and scraped from working on my bike. Home manicures are my apology to them, and a bit of self-defense. Can't stain my nails with material if they've got a layer of lacquer! Working…

I had a couple sets from this line, all because HORSES. I had a few of the additions from one of the medieval knights set and a samurai, also because horses. It combined the two things I loved most in the world as a kid: building and horses. I had Erector sets too and what did I do? Built robot horses.

I look at the "Lego Friends" set and think it's a good progression from their previous girl line, Belville, which was nothing but fairy tales, weddings and cat shows. You get a lot more variety in the Friends set.

This is probably Lego's most aggressive girl-centric marketing but it's not really the only time they've done it. I had this set as a kid and it was all pastels, horses, champagne and mostly women (with a few man-servants thrown in. Seriously: pool boy, horse trainer, butler. One set came with a bro and we called…

You want to make an issue about women wearing pink workout clothes? Ok. Tell us, then, which gender was responsible for this?

Men wear pink, and they wear it worse because it comes in the form of zubaz. I'm not saying they're "wrong," but the people wearing them are bros so it's not like women have the color market cornered.

I loved that sweater!

It's a hold over from the moral scares of the 50-60s about comics damaging the fragile psyches of the children. The United States had the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1955, the fallout of which caused a lot of companies to fold up (and is one of the reasons for the lack of diversity in mainstream…

Probably because congress doesn't LET the post office expand.

When I first heard about the clothing line, my immediate thought was that this was a PR move to try and combat all the bullshit Republicans say about USPS. I don't know if it's the right move, or a move that will work, but I'm not going to mock them for trying anything they can to fight back.

You're not the only one. I really like USPS. I used to regularly ship artwork internationally and they were always on the ball as to what kind of regulations I had to follow and what weird import laws there were (tip: comic book art with vampires on it? Illegal to ship to the UK). And it was WAY cheaper to use…

This is the first time I can say I've ever thought a push-up bra commercial was really quite cute. The little "welcome left!" sign is adorable.

I came out of a really bad high school experience with absolutely no confidence in my looks. It doesn't matter what you look like if your confidence in that matter has been shattered. When I went to college and reinvented myself, I started getting compliments about my style, my hair, or the way I carried myself. …

It seems like a lot of times, the only way a girl can say "I'm pretty" and not seem self-absorbed is if she's saying it to deflect the belief that she has low self-esteem.

By 98/99, THE thing to wear at my high school was hip-huggers. I don't think I saw a single high rise anything from 97 forward.

It's totally normal and very common to see women walking around with bare midriffs, especially in coffee houses, styled with some Docs and maybe a hoodie. In 1995.

I think I was blind to a lot of those shows. Since my family didn't have cable, if it wasn't general access television then it didn't exist. Unless it was Are "You Afraid of the Dark?" because my friends taped those and we'd marathon them. Looking into it, it doesn't look like she was involved in anything I would…

I dunno. 27 and I am completely Bynes-blind. But if she's 90s-cable-tv-famous that would explain it, since my family has never had cable.

I have no idea who this person is. I see she's young, blonde and appears to have won a bunch of Nickelodeon awards. So...is she like LiLo? Completely irrelevant to anything until she starts to implode and everyone stops to watch the spectacle?
