I must be seriously old because my first thought was "Oh NO!! You are all much too young! Go out and party more before you make this big commitment!" To me, they all look about 25, which is my book hasn't given you enough time to live an adult life and slut it up.

My kids (upper teens) were snarky about my attempts to learn to paint (you know, canvas and acrylics). Then one of them surprised me a few months later when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday. He said he wanted me to paint him something sci-fi. So kids might be assholes on the surface, but I suspect that

My mom made a music video for a contest at work with her office when I was a teenager. They dressed up like Fleetwood Mac and rewrote one of their songs to be about the company. This was probably like, year 1 or 2 of American Idol, because that is what the contest was themed after. They ended up winning the contest

Solution: rip on the kids' artwork. "Macaroni picture? More like craparoni! It's like you've never even heard of the rule of thirds. What are you, 6? Oh. Well still."

The article describes a mannequin modeled after Twiggy as being one of the first celebrity look-alikes. I remember one of my first attempts at articulating a feminist opinion back when I was about 9 years old (1969 on 1970) - I wrote "DOWN WITH TWIGGY" on my notebook. I didn't know about body-shaming thin people back

Guessing I'm not meant to be laughing at this. But I am. I can't see the words "oh my" without reading it in George Takei's voice.

My second response is: those are actually kind of cute.

Even after male actors do horrible horrible things like:

The world will always do its absolute best to knock down any independent woman a peg or two to keep her in her place. I don't see this article discussing 'has been' male actors getting the "backlash" treatment? I guess because that never happens.

Oh lord, now that is my happy. "Miss Blue, how about some carrots?" or "Miss Blue, which shoes should Mama wear?"

This could totally be contouring. The lack of freckles seems to point to caked on make-up which often goes hand-in-hand with contouring. The 'doctor' is grasping at straws.

Yeah but even then, I'm not a fan of this ad. I think one of the biggest problems contributing to rape is the gap between what men think rape is and what rape actually is. Because we've kind of made rape out to be "strangers waiting in bushes for unsuspecting women" whereas that doesn't really work like that. Which is

I was having a pretty awful day and then this happened. Dogs, love them.

You think this is cute? This Woman - No - this WITCH probably cast a transmogrification spell on her husband, and forced him on threat of "bath time" to say those words.

Left to right: I would like this even better with a pair of bad-ass strappy heels; THOSE SHOES OMG; go home and try again, this time with your contacts in.

YES. This is super interesting and texturey and I like it.

WANT. NEED. ETC.
