@BellaNotte: YES. I agree with you and Katy that bashing can feel like it reflects badly on you.

@quatrevingtquatre: Funny thing about this is that I read in Life&Style yesterday (i know, i know) how The Situation got his nickname:

@Susan B.: Someone needs to make Lin into a movie star already. He is amazing!

@sara-without-an-h: Interesting question. The coolest, most glamorous woman at my office has both arms full-sleeve tattooed...and she wears Prada shift dresses, 3/4 sleeve blazers, and designer bags/shoes. She is stunning, and somehow makes the tatts totally work with her slightly conservative dress style.

Aaaaannnd... Love in a Cold Climate added to my Netflix. I'm having a "between the wars" moment.

@debbieharry: Yes, every actress should be made to look at this picture in the Dr.'s office before they get Botox.

@ShanaElmsford: Oh there definitely is. I gave up the idea of studying abroad when I found out definitively that my 3.4 GPA wasn't good enough for Oxford. That was the only place I was interested in going.

@BlondeGoddess: I hate hate hated "Raymond," but caught the first 10 minutes of this last night and was really surprised by how subtle and good he was. He's also a co-creator/producer.

@TheGintheCity: Oh, a best that I have to add after all the American Girl stories. One year, my mom MADE me the red taffeta Christmas dress to mach my Samantha doll's. It wasn't a surprise (I picked out all the fabrics), but it was still amazing.

Worst: definitely the year my mother realized she needed to tell her brother and his family to stop buying me clothes. I hardly ever saw these people, so at the height of my "grunge phase" at 13, they bought me a giant, knee-length, bright-coral crocheted sweater, with a dun-colored turtleneck to wear underneath.

@Ruby_de_la_Booby: I had that exact jam box...in pale yellow. My Beach Boys tapes got much use on it.

A friend of mine once blew my mind by pointing out that you HAVE to have loose skin on the back of your arm. Otherwise, you can't lift your arms over your head!

@kareniswaiting: "Dear Dr. Spaceman, thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, the New England Journal of Medicine does not accept x-rated cartoons..."

@PilgrimSoul: Amongst my literary friends and family, she is one of the most polarizing writers. Bringing her up in conversation is bound to start a fight. I hated White Teeth, (I refused to read Autograph Man on the basis of its annoying premise) and LOVED On Beauty. (Most everyone I know felt the opposite).

@Blackagar Boltigon: Thanks for linking to her bio. She's done some really amazing things, further cementing my love!

@BeckySharper: Yes, me too. When I saw that it was voted down I went straight to Google to make sure he voted "yea". Have voted for him several times, he'd better be on his BEST behavior.

@Crackers In Bed: Oh my gosh, I am trying to do the same (professional emails only, FTW) and it is so hard. I don't use emoticons, but I've been known to go back and add an exclamation point after a "Thanks" in order to make my email request seem more cheery. But why should it be cheery? We're at work, I need you to

@eclare09: Bebe is currently in previews for the Addams Family musical... playing Morticia, how awesome is that!?

Gah, proving that gaudy, over-the-top holiday decorations know no boundaries. NYC is infested. There are giant, red trees with seizure-inducing blinking lights outside my gym's building. And it looks like Christmas barfed in the lobby of mine.

@BestEuphemismEver: I read hundreds og blogs and like, every magazine, even the trashy ones. And I can't think of any recent or upcoming movies starring Dunst-y here. Why on earth is she on the cover of Allure?
