Pretty much. I feel like this book has the most appeal to people who are on the shy side about communicating what they want - whether they feel like they shouldn't have to because their partner "should know", or because they feel their partner might judge them even though they are loving and supportive everywhere…

I'm going to be honest -I don't have a particular author that I read. I tend to just drift past the harlequin paperback romance section and pick the steamiest looking stockphoto, read the description and flip through until I see it steaming up. Elizabethan is a harder find but there will be a alot of antebellum…

Pretty much. I'm squicked out by the lack of consent because if you fall even vaguely into the kink realm you have to openly communicate. You can't spring things like rape play onto someone or try to rig anything just by winging it and not testing it first and I guess when you become comfortable with explaining to…

This is exactly it -except I can guarantee that E.L James did not even bother to watch some kink.com before hand. She's not kinky IRL at all which is confirmed by her rather uncomfortably under the spotlight husband, and I think a lot of this is wish fulfillment and fantasy and that's exactly how it reads. The…

There is not. I would google the most hilarious quotes, laugh and leave.

I use "IT' girl loosely as a kind of girl-every-one-wants-to-be, which is what a IT girl is for a teen/younger mag. It's your uh- I guess Victoria Justice /(whatever disney age appropriate non-scandal bearing) girl that's all over the place. No idea if it's Victoria Justice, but I did see her on a cover for…

Of topic but feeling the need to spread the word. Recently I discovered a absolutely amazing BBC reality dating show called Sexy Beasts while on a plane. BEST DECISION OF DAY/MONTH/MAYBE YEAR (it was around NY). It revolves around a premise where the lead has to choose between three people while a sarcastic,…

I am sorry to say I am a little excited about K-Stew's possible queerness. She is kind of a secret (ugh I guess not anymore?) celebrity crush of mine and I guess uh, all my fanfiction-y daydreams about her are like 0.005% closer to coming true one mysterious day where we are both part of a group with the last 20…

I will say this - as a child, the "cartoony" dolls had little to know effect on me as a reflection of my body. I identified with the powerpuff girls, with my giant bobbled headed short lived DivaStarz and thought they were all glamourous and cool in a very human like way but also proportionately not at all like me or…

To add to the TEENZ list, first gen Skins had two characters of color, and Some Girls has a split 2/2 white/POC cast and the technical "main character" of the show is black, in a not-just-the-light-skinned-black-girls for TV moment.

Let alone natural kinky pubes. I have regularly mildly wavy hair that naturally straightens out depending on the weather. Down there however, it is a curly minefield and hence why I solemnly swear to wax. If I was blessed with the genetics to essentially craft my own natural furkini bottom that I could awkwardly…

I wanna say that rather going for the Bratz aesthetic (which is a weeee bit outdated), I think it's actually very asian-girl-game media orientated. If you just do a quick google of cutesy cooking games/hairdressing games on Naver or something you'll see a lot of this tube armed, super shiny doe eyed aesthetic.

As a avid fangirl, I'd say that Monster High has better narrative than Barbie, and is just all around cooler looking. The hair is better, the faces are different - a lot more vague ethnicities are depicted a lot more regularly rather than once in a blue moon and after you hit a point, girls don't want to be moms and…

I don't know if it's just the shows I watch, but I see a fair amount of reflective diversity in a lot of modern-time set British shows already, so that's pretty awesome. Their teen shows in particular are hella good at this.

I think you're reading my comment wrong, or I'm writing it poorly. The rise of atheism/agnosticism and the largely secular governing of countries does not pose a threat to personal faith, but to the institutions of faith which find themselves becoming outdated and not as relevant. The societal relevance of religion…

I still think it's a really big acknowledgement to say that though - particularly since the rise of atheism / agnosticism as a whole threatens many religions that are gradually becoming less common and more niche where the only way to keep it going fundamentally is for believers to continue to have copious amounts of…

Yes, she actually does! It's called Abbey Dawn and pretty much like a Hot Topic extension. I think it's been around for a couple of years now. Wow I'm full of useless psuedo celebrity knowledge.

THIS IS GLORIOUSSSSSS. As a miniature doll nut, holy shit this is so so amazing. The strewn styrofoam coffee cup detail is kind of perfection. WHERE DO I EVEN GET TINY STARBUCKS???

:( This. I am a huge original bratz defender, and it's true - Bratz make a lot of adults uncomfortable because THEY project their own versions of hypersexualization on the dolls while kids do not. There were some terrible PR choices made of course - the "naughty/nice" babyz was clearly a bad idea. I will say…

HAHAHA yes. Lily, the original was the kind of high society girl the girls who love her brand would have totally ostracized. I mean, she was creme de la creme east coast, who eloped, ran away to the opposing coast and started a freaking juice business which later became her fashion line. She went around with a…
