It was that kind of experience (a drugstore foundation being discontinued) that pushed me to my first fancy-makeup experience and I’ll never go back. In fact I just switched foundations last week and at Sephora it involved them color matching my skin tone and applying 10 different brands to my face until I decided…

That’s a tough position to be in. I’m planning my wedding right now, and while we are fortunate enough to have awesome parents, my maternal grandparents are not only not invited, we didn’t even tell them about the wedding. My grandmother is a self righteous Southern Baptist martyr who only makes my mom and the rest of…

Oh we’ve tried so many times. It falls on deaf ears. She thinks everyone wants to be mothered by her and I’m so sure she has no idea how grating and obtrusive she can be (despite being told she’s being rude) and she’s so nosey and will tell everyone your business. The crazy-making part is that a lot of the things she…

No she’s not originally BUT, rather tellingly, she moved down there for a large chunk of her life. So she’s Florida by choice/affinity.

At the end of the speech she proved that she had been an IRS agent the whole time hired to investigate his tax evasion, proved he has frauded the government (with slides) and then had him carted off to prison. Then she ripped off her white gaudy dress to reveal a tasteful brown pantsuit and marched off to gasps and…

As a black person, your paragraph confuses me.

Star Wars definitely went the way of NASCAR long ago, gaining as much dollars from merchandising as possible. But, still no one item tops the official potato of NASCAR.

are these also pinned to your Proletariat Revolution pinterest board?

For anyone interested in the pyrite jewelry box, I have a very lovely line of jewelry and accessories made of purest green, a very rare material that only the finest of artisans can work with.

Thank you. I don’t know why some people get so bent out of shape about this. And the “but it’s a family affair and kids are part of the family!” camp can sit the fuck down. Weddings, as we all like to point out when we’re defending our gay friends’ right to marry, has changed a lot over time. They used to be basically…

This is all very well-written and researched, but a couple of things:

What he wants from this exchange is enforcement of the sort of old fashioned, seemingly arbitrary etiquette rules that used to clearly define the differences in class between those being served and those serving. The dinner should be a presentation and the server should be a part of his atmosphere. They should know…

I freaked a little when my ex got engaged and married just a couple months after asking me and getting turned down. Sometimes for men, it’s just TIME.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

One thing that both Betty and Don actually share, besides their good looks, is their need for attention and validation. Even though neither of them would have seriously taken up a teenager on an offer, it was clear that both of them loved the attention. And Sally picked up on that, very smartly. Even though they have…

Zack Snyder really worries me, he’s such a “style over substance” director (see also: Sucker Punch). I just wish that Warner Brothers could learn something from Guardians of the Galaxy - audiences might want a little levity in their popcorn movies. Not all successful and popular comic books were written by Frank…

Will someone at Jez take Snyderman to task for his bullshit? I just finally tried to write out why I hated Man of Steel and came to the realization that it was horrifcally misogynistic/patriacrchal a few paragraphs in to my rant.

...TheKnot.com, said 40 percent of 20,000 brides it questioned in 2011 revealed they visited the site, whether they had a boyfriend or not, before becoming engaged. Thirteen percent created profiles...
