@optical_allusion: @petuniacat: Word ladies. I have one of those cute cream croched dresses and all I wanted was a sweet, plain nude slip (like the Carrie Bradshaw "Naked Dress"). Couldn't find one ANYWHERE (not even Calvin Klein) and had to go with one of those bodyslimmer things. So uncomfortable, rides up, and…

Just dropping in my 2 cents.

I dated a couple of Mormon guys in high school. So cute and corn-fed, but sooooo prude. One guy's parents chaperoned us on our dates, and we totally watched the "bought-at-the-Christian-bookstore" censored version of Coming to America.

There was totally a blind item (I think NYDN) about a pair of co-star lovebirds, intimating that male half of the couple had a boyfriend back in Oz who'd be surprised to hear about their "engagement."

@msb2: Me too! Then I walked into my roommate's bedroom and said, "Um, I just did something really dumb..."

I'm surprised y'all are so anti-makeup here today! I'm a reasonably well-educated, professionally employed late-20-something, and I feel the same way about Sephora as those little girls crowding the American Girl store just up the block. Want...Everything...Now. Don't...care...if...overpriced!

I think if we all concentrate hard enough, we can make gladiator sandals go away. Flats that fasten around the ankle are not flattering to anybody. And the second your ankles start to swell... *shudder*

I had one of these as well — on my bikini line. It took over a year for the myriad doctors to finally decide surgery was the answer and now I have a 2 inch scar. A bit of advice: DO NOT wax at home. It seems a bit of wax combined with an ingrown hair caused the giant abcess. I shudder at the memories.

I love how proselytizing vegans/vegetaries stuff themselves full of chemical-laden, farm-bill-subsidized soy byproducts and then get sanctimonious about meat.

Are we even sure that's really Halle Berry?

I feel pretty darn good about myself right now. My arms and backfat look just like Faith Hill's (real) arms and backfat!

My hangover plan B was always a bloody mary with just a tiny bit of vodka, advil and McDonal.... Oh screw it, I'm going to go get a burrito.

Yo ladies — I did one year of Retin-A + Tetracyclene in high school (before Retin-A-micro existed). My mother insisted, fearing that I was about to inherit the cystic acne from my dad's side that horribly afflicted my aunt & her kids. I did have the yucky flaking for about 6 months (especially in winter: I grew up in…

I would love to wear those gloves with a brown coat for fall...

Ooh, I've seen her in person out and about on the LES, and she is frankly stunning. Saw her on a Sunday morning with no makeup and just a big gorgeous sweater, with blonde hubby and 2-year-old. I wanted to BE her.

I have a coworker who does not wash her hands. Ever. Even after using a tampon. Even when there are 5 people in the bathroom, she'll stand there and chat while we wash and then walk out with us. We all share doorknobs, coffee maker, printers, copiers—and half the office has kids, so everyone's always got some virus…

I went to college with her, when she was in that phase, and I assure you, the girl does not have a normal body. She is really teeny-tiny, and shorter than she seems.

Though I often want to throw it across the room, I have kept my subscription to Vogue for 12 years just for stuff like this. What girl doesn't love the spectacle of Dior and Lacroix? I covet the apricot ombre in #5. And could Linda Evangelista possibly be more fabulous?

Poor Wills. He's swiftly turning into Prince Charles. Quick, William, get Kate back now while you still look like your mum!

He looks like Skipper from the first season of Sex and the City. *Shudder*
