I *just* heard this on NPR this morning: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/03/01/173203739/sales-are-like-drugs-what-happens-when-a-store-wants-customers-to-quit

Supposedly that character was based on Sumner Redstone.

Heck yeah. I'm 32 and I wouldn't go back to 22 for any money. Sure, I can't drink beer instead of dinner 5 days a week and still get up for work in the morning, but I don't care. I'm healthier than I was back then anyway! I have a career, a little bit of disposable income, and somewhere around 25 I realized that you

I feel that that wasn't even all that long ago. A couple of years? God knows, with all the changes around here it's hard to keep track of the various Jez Eras. (And the Tscheese era was definitely an "Era" with a capital "E").

You are absolutely right (love that Bafta dress). I was just baffled (as perhaps were the Fuggers) as to why she would choose not one, but two such obviously unflattering dresses in one night.

One word of caution, my dad left his Zenni frames on the car dashboard in the sun for a couple of hours, and the lenses completely warped/melted, rendering them unwearable.

Here's a theory based solely on something the Fug girls speculated upon seeing her baggy afterparty dress/sack. What if she was at one point, actually pregnant, had her Oscar dresses made with room (both dresses were to be custom-made couture, I believe?), and then *wasn't* pregnant for the Oscars after all. The

And OMG that "Bond-theme-esque" Scandal ad right after the tribute was AH mazing.

Yes, and after seeing this close-up of the necklace, I agree with their assessment that she was probably supposed to wear that necklace the other way around but realized she couldn't with the neckline on the pink number.

I HATE the MAC counter/stores. Those salespeople are so judgey. I once needed a lipstick for a wedding where I'd be wearing a black bridesmaid's dress. They guy couldn't have been any less interested in helping me figure out a good color. Ugh.

This is timely, as I just spent over $100 last night. I'm trying to limit myself to once a month trips, but I walk past TWO Sephoras daily, and their VIB emails come in every day, just when I'm needing a pick me up. Sephora is the best "treat yo' self" option for women like me — I'm really careful about what I eat,

The only time I've ever dealt with pushy salespeople in Sephora is when there are brand reps in-store. I've had hovery interaction with Urban Decay reps several times, to the point where I once decided NOT to buy their new Naked foundation and went with Benefit's. And once I had an obnoxious YSL rep all up in my

Don't feel too bad. I agree with ftloosenfanzfree below.

Yup, a drugstore near me that has a refrigerated island of lunch foods installed little caddys all along the edge full of nom-alicious Cadbury eggs. Also, they already crammed a display of Easter cards and wrapping in with the Valentine's Day stuff.

Wolford. Totally worth it. I got some to wear with holiday outfits and I'm planning on getting another pair in a different color today.

My friend's inlaws refuse to believe she has kept her maiden name. She told them well in advance of their wedding and yet, there on the lovely slideshow the groom's brothers created for the rehearsal dinner, was "Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Hislastname." (Her inlaws are also just plain assholes. She's been a vegetarian

Mine are definitely "Tracy Does Conan" because it's the first time we meet Dr. Spaceman, and also, Liz sees "The Blue Dude" because she hasn't eaten all day (Grizz, as Liz is about to eat a cookie in Tracy's dressing room: "I wouldn't. He licked ALL of those."). The Blue Dude's little "beep boop" noises never fail to

I heard that person on NPR this morning. They interviewed a bunch of soldiers at Fort Campbell Kentucky. He said, well what would happen if they were out in the field and didn't have their (and I quote) "women things" available to them. I assume he meant *whisper* tampons!. All I could think is...I'm sure these women

Well you're not alone there. Even Life & Style gave Deception a bad review! It's been universally panned as far as I can tell. I love Megan Good, I would totally watch it but...not after those reviews.

A close friend of mine from childhood died 2 years ago and for about a year, her husband updated her FB page all the time with comments and pics of their kids and I found it kind of upsetting to see her name in my feed all the time. Finally he changed it from "Hername Lastname" to "Hisname-and-Hername Lastname" which
