To my eye - this is no different than back in the days of photographers with telephoto lenses and promises to destroy the negatives. I mean it’s blackmail using sex... which is pretty common. Not right (regardless of the genders involved), but common.

I think someone with her intelligence and political aspirations has to know that even if this was her jam, she can’t have the level of public life she clearly desires, and have this as a thing in her “private” life. It is just too distracting and new worthy. A lot of people do care what others do in their bedrooms and…

This was my train of thought as well sort of a chicken or the egg thing: He’s not getting what he wants (keeping in mind is what he wants is for everything to go away because in his fucked up mind he didn’t do anything wrong)... so he’s firing his lawyers. Or are the lawyers becoming frustrated by his lack of any type…

I would like to refer you to the Chumplady.com site. The main thrust of the site is infidelity, but LOTS of people over there have dealt with this particular brand of entitled fuckwit. He thinks he is magical and special and he shouldn’t have to work for anything. Not to stress you out more, but I would say there is a…

I am hoping, now that we are past the conventions, that we are going to see the actual grown-ups start getting this situation whipped into shape. It’s one thing to have highly partisan randos endorsing Trump for purposes of their ratings or lack of cognitive bandwidth to really think about the implications of a Trump…

I think the thing that makes her clothing so fabulous is the level fancy. Like sure they tailor the outfit to the event, but particularly with formal gowns there is no such thing as “too much”. The fabrics are beautiful and there is no such thing as too much. The colors are fabulous, the beading is stunning and…

Beaches is good movie. It’s referenced so often that I think it is worth seeing. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is small scene between Cece (Bette) and her mother. Cece is complaining about how her husband stopped paying attention to her and her mother calls her out and basically says “you always need all of…

I had to stop watching Shark Tank because I got annoyed with the bored housewives and their kid-shit products. Every episode there was at least on woman who came up with an idea for some BS product to deal with some aspect of having kids that I would be like “Or you could just use a zip lock bag” or something .

They didn’t tell us what questions were asked, but I feel like saying that people who can’t answer questions about investing are financially illiterate is like saying that pediatricians are not real doctors because they can’t do surgery. There is a big umbrella that is “Financial Competence” and under that umbrella…

Exactly - I have a friend and his job is orchestra conductor. He makes a nice living, but he certainly isn’t rich. Probably the earliest he ever has to be “at work” is for like a noon fund raising luncheon for the board. Rehearsals are in the afternoon/evening. Concerts are of course in the evening. Much like in my…

Honestly all of this sounds a lot like my super narcissistic Ex-Husband. If you are not familiar with the personality, it can be hard to really wrap your brain around. It’s not that she’s obsessed with being revolutionary... she IS revolutionary... and the rest of us are just too dumb to see it. She WILL be successful…

As someone up thread alluded to - I wonder if he tried to pull a “let’s get together after hours to look at the dailies and talk about the film” (i.e. get you alone, try to get in your pants)... and ... being a woman with 20+ years in the industry she had the sense to make sure she brought someone with her (an agent,…

I’m in the process of getting a divorce in CA and while we did file a response, if both people are on board with basically just wanting to GTFO, this could totally work. I think people get confused about the role of the law in something like this. If two people can’t agree on how to deal with the issues that come up…

I think we all agree it depends on your industry. I would think it odd if my hardwood floor guy rolled in wearing a suite and tie. I would find it a bit odd to have my doctor looking like she was going to clean out the garage after she was done with my pap smear. It also depends on your level of interaction with the…

I shouldn’t laugh, but I did...

This is what I don’t get. I guess people like this think that they can do this whole live off the grid thing, but the threshold at which I hire professional is incredibly low for things that are not nearly as important as taking care of your child. I needed to take a tree out and I was like ... hmmm... pretty close to…

Meh - I will allow it. I mean, we all tend to gravitate toward what we know. I mean probably in her peer circle, marrying for as much money as your looks will allow is probably pretty standard issue. Both from her peers in Slovania and her peers in the modeling world. For every pretty, smiling, glamorous Carlie Kloss…

I am in the middle of a divorce because my STBX cheated on me, so I’m pretty in the thick of it in terms of cheater-apologists... and the thing is - people who want to get laid will find a way to get laid. They will use professionals, they will make a profile on Craigslist or some other site. Those that are straight…

LOL - I had the same thought... WTF is going on in the background there? So many questions? Why does she look like she is posing at the met gala in what appears to be the buffet of an Indian Casino? Who is the guy making such a bold choice in pant-wear and why does he have this level of side-eye? ATM Gal seems…

Honestly Rosebanks sounds like someone’s jewish grandmother’s maiden name that got basterdized on her way through Ellis Island in 1915. Rosenbauer got turned into Rosebanks or the like. We have some weird middle names in my family (how many Benhardts have you met... I have met three), so I won’t judge. Thank god the…
