Oh you don't even know. My family was in Nanjing before many westerners had come to the area. My little sister was four when we moved there, and had white blond hair and piercing blue eyes. People were constantly trying to touch her. Several times, an older lady would come at us with scissors, explaining she wanted a…

I'm really happy to hear about these, especially the execution one. I lived in China in the early 90's. We had to pass through the old gate of the city to get to and from our house and there would always be these pictures of people up on the wall. Sometimes, the picture would have a big red "X" through it. My Chinese…

Sorry I submitted before I was ready. Because of nothing happening if a woman has twins, twins are seen as a great blessing and considered good luck. When I lived in China, one of my Chinese friends had twin girls and when she took them out in public people would come up to them and try to touch them for good luck.

Nothing. She has the twins.

THANK YOU. This is my position as well - deep dish "pizza" is a tasty treat, yes, but it is in no way pizza. It is pizza flavored casserole.

You know, I actually agree with you 100%. My husband was dogging on her the other day, and I said to him, "At 20 years old if I had been independently wealthy AND famous I probably would have been a complete asshole, too." I know it doesn't happen very often that you change someone's mind on the internet, but you're…

Fair enough, but even discounting the problem with women of color, what about her display at the VMA? I would argue that wagging her butt in Robin Thicke's face while he sang Blurred Lineswas about as unfeminist as it gets. IMHO.

Like that time Sarah Palin called herself a feminist? No, sorry, you can't just magically become a feminist just by saying you are one.

Dracula is so bad that it went from bad to good then back around to bad again. My husband and I CAN'T wait for Friday nights when we watch Dracula, get drunk, and yell at the screen. SO fun!

This is going to piss off the teabaggers in my state so much. Love it!

OMG I know! So much better than those fake plastic extensions. She has amazing bone structure and the pixie shows it off perfectly.

Eh, she pays people to keep her in the tabloids. Don't feel too bad for her.

You should advertise for an intern at the culinary school. Seriously. If the industry is going to run on interns, you may as well take advantage while you get your business making more money.

I did my internship at a resort where they never promoted women, either. I worked my ass off covering morning and lunch, working for free the entire time, and they never would give me a paid position. When they had an opening, they went and hired some dude out from under me. I was so pissed. He had never even worked a…

Very nice work! I have added you to my favorites. :)

What's your blog if you don't mind sharing? I'll read it! I love food blogs. I've been wanting to start my own for a while, but I work full time and I'm back at school for a graduate degree so the time isn't there. Also, I hate to admit this, but the photography part intimidates the hell out of me.

Don't even get me started. Male chefs also like to sneer at women home cooks and bloggers like they're not "real" cooks. Pisses my shit right off.

Yeah, I really wish I hadn't done it. Luckily I had a family education fund so I'm not drowning in needless debt from it like a lot of people I know, but unless you already have a culinary career up and running I really wouldn't recommend culinary school. The industry is a nightmare.

I can think of few industries worse for woman than the food industry. Industrial welding, oil field work, law enforcement, and others may come close or be worse but the food industry is definitely up there. It sucks so much, and articles like the one in Time just play into the misogyny that is rampant in the industry.

Imma go treat myself and read that Reddit. Love. Her.
