If they use that slippery slope, it's almost like they don't care that forced sterilization is happening in the US in multiple states (source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat… also in the carolinas), or they just don't care because those women are 'poors'. Ugh. Double ugh.

My point is: it's not in other candy bars. Yes, they might melt easier, but guess what, hershey bars melt like crazy too. I live on the Florida/Alabama state line. If it's during a hot part of the year, you just don't GET chocolate that's not melted. And the wax doesn't make hershey's exempt. It does, however, really…

Candle wax is also tasteless and would do the same.

Actually it has carnuba wax (car wax) right in the ingredients list. It tastes like wax because it is, in fact, wax.

Yeah... like that's gonna get me to buy a candy bar with fucking car wax in it.

They are! In fact, there's a fourth book coming out in April of this year, called Beauty's Kingdom, wherein I'm guessing Beauty takes up a role akin to the Queen's role in the trilogy.

I've never read the book, but I might now. :D

I do love that I'm not the only one who read them at a ridiculously young age (14 - my stepmother's friend left beauty's punishment, and she didn't realize how explicit it was, just that I loved Anne Rice, and that someone left one of her books there so she gave it to me). It was confusing that some of the stuff that…

Yeah, I think that and Pretty in Pink are pretty much peak Spader as hotness goes. :D

FSOG is so awful. The actors have no chemistry and the writing in the books was just awful. If you want good BDSM erotica, try the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice (written under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure), and if you want a good BDSM movie, there's always Secretary which came out before any of the FS books,…

the second half of that sentence is pure gold. and so true. of myself, as well.

Thanks for the advice, will totally check it out because that sounds amazing.

I'm right there with you. You can only have so many articles on hair/makeup/clothing tips, and 'how to please your man'. Let's see some womens mags come out with inspiring and poetic think pieces, or stories about the strides women are making in the world (Like the Gulabi Gang in India, referred to as 'India's Woman…

What a shame that Jez won't have you anymore, RR. You, Pinkham, and Shrayber are what got me to stay here. :D On the other hand, congratulations in a big way on your new gig at Cosmo. I'll be wishing you all the best in your many articles about how to please your man and pick up designer dud knockoffs for affordable…

As someone else on the spectrum, not only agreed, but also... I'm baffled by the fact that people actually believe that a shot can cause autism. That is some high level ignorance of how autism works and what it is.

Probably. Patricia Todd is an amazing lady, and a beautiful force for change in my state. I have had the privilege to march on the state house and attend committee meetings with her back in 2013 (for a bill to legalize medicinal marijuana), something she too is passionate about after losing dear friends to HIV and…

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Seeing shit like this makes me understand a bit better why the DJ's would always shout out our table and shit when we'd come in (me, my husband, our roommate). My husband and I would typically spend $100-140 in an hour or two, almost all on stage dances and just seriously throw about 1/2 the cost of a private dance…

It's good you got out of it then, too. And if you are, as it would seem from your handle, indeed female, it's something I see way too often. It's surprising to me how much abuse I've seen in woman/woman relationships, though it seems to usually be the same 2 people I know who find them constantly. Glad that the…

Touche, and so right on with regards to relationships/compromise/communication, too. As for oversharing, I don't think that exists on the interwebz until your parents are seeing you bone. :D
