Likewise... my lab partner in 7th grade was a super popular kid. We had dissect giant clams, and one of his bros dared him to lick the clam, which he proceeded to do and then loudly declare "it doesn't taste like anything!" ... thus calling attention to the fact that he'd just done it. Our teacher was a bit of a…

After the great Eastern Seaboard blackout of 2004, my roommate made me throw away EVERYTHING from our fridge. Including butter, vegetables, eggs, cheese (ie: things that can totally be stored at room temperature for a few hours). Our neighborhood was one of the first to get power back — it had only been out about 12…

All I can think seeing the non-red carpet photos is that everyone there over the age of 20 was completely baked. Especially Leslie Mann, Cammy Diaz, Johnny here, and Zac Efron (sorry Zac, know you're trying to get clean!). Except Lupita.

OMG, I'm crying with laughter here.

Oh my god, if you're willing to risk an aneurism, but want some backup against these people, read "Do You Believe in Magic" by Dr Paul Offit. He discusses (and debunks) a lot of these "alternative" treatments, particularly for cancer. What makes me just sick about this stuff is that yes, there are people out there…

This this this, is my one and only. I keep a Tarte Amazonian Clay concealer in my bag for occasional touch ups, but the Secret Camouflage starts the day and is still on when I get home.

Agree. I went from UD to Benefit (which I think then changed its formula because when I bought a refill tube it had a slightly different shape and it didn't work as well). Now I'm NARS all the way.

I love this too — best base I've ever used, I like it better than the Smashbox BB creme of which I was formerly a disciple. I have rosacea and this blends and smooths the red areas like a dream. I use a Beauty Blender sponge and follow BeautyDepartment's moisten/stipple/blend technique. The CC works great under…

Oooh, get ready for some tears: I know a speech-therapist with a highly-trained therapy dog. She works with a severely autistic boy who had never spoken, but after a few weeks, he said his first words, to the dog. *weeps*

Yes, I was thinking this too! Tomlin would not take any BS from anyone about his decision to draft Sam, and would just move forward and play the game. Plus with our aging defense we could really use some bright new guys with energy!

I had a new-ish boyfriend and was working on a really annoying stupid project with a guy at work, via back and forth emails, who I'd never met in person (though I knew who he was and we'd been on elevators together). When it was finished he said he'd take me out for a celebratory drink. We made a plan for the next…

When I was dating online I was never embarrassed to talk about it at length. A friend of mine told everyone he met his (now fiancee) in Bryant Park when she asked him for a cigarette. I was all... you can't smoke in Bryant Park. In reality, they met on JDate! My brother met his wife on Craigslist! Nothing to be…

Yep, I know about 4 people who've done them, including my dad, to confirm sleep apnea. The CPAP mask dug into his nose and he got a gross, weepy-sored infection so he had to stop using it. My mom has insomnia (CPAP kept her awake, too) and she'd bought this MYPillow thing for herself to travel with ("As Seen on TV!")…

Yes, I said this above too — I read in Vanity Fair that the other roommates and Meredith Kercher's British friends called their parents and lawyers when the murder was discovered, and were told to leave Italy immediately. Does anyone even know/remember their names? No. Amanda was a clueless child, she was too naive…

Raffelle's DNA wasn't on the bra clasp. The Italian "police" who processed the crime scene were basically the local equivalent of postal workers. The crime scene was cross-contaminated beyond anything that would ever be acceptable in a US trial and a lot of DNA was so degraded by the time it got to the labs as to be…

Get this on Angelina, stat!

I dunno but I want to take my thumb and blend her lipliner. I almost unconsciously reached my finger toward the computer screen when I first scrolled past the photo!

I wonder this too. I went to a Saturday early evening screening of Red Dragon and a couple had brought their toddler into the movie, and an usher came in and made them leave (I think someone tattled, thank god — that is still one of the most disturbing movie-going experiences of my life and I was 22!).

It came out in 2011! I don't see a new book scheduled yet... I need my fix!

I recently re-read all 4 of those books JUST so I could reread Babeltower... one of my top 5 favorite books of all time.
Speaking of which, it's probably about time soon-ish for a new AS Byatt book... off to check Knopf website...
