Gotcha, and you're right. By "do their nails or their hair," I just meant make sure your nails are clean and trimmed, not overly long and perhaps pointy. And hair, meaning it's clean, brushed, and if it's long it probably should be pulled back off your face (though admittedly I have long hair and it's completely down…

That was my exact first thought. "Well, now it will be an actual issue rather than just permission for girls to become whores."

Are you asking why appearing neat and clean should be the case for a professional appearance? And no, I suppose I'm not speaking for all professions, but probably the ones that involve a desk job and interacting with the public. Hence the "general" clarification.

Someone let the laser cats know!

This is a very general statement, and I am aware of that, BUT ... I have found that the women who don't wear make-up are the ones who are generally not well groomed or dressed professionally in the first place. Again, this is a general statement and certainly doesn't apply to all women who don't wear make-up (nor does…

This is exactly what I was going to say. In theory, the law seems to make sense and I'm not opposed to it. But it's not meant to save children so much as it is to punish offenders. It's a knee-jerk reaction, which is why it is less than ideal.

I was painfully shy but teachers knew they could count on me to answer their questions ... so while I was trying to hide behind my hair while there was that awkward silence after a question, the teacher usually ended up asking me the question directly. It was awful. Of course, as an adult, I realize why they did so,…

Me neither, but beer and cupcakes sounds like the perfect way to celebrate any life event.

I know it ... that sentence definitely made me look at some life choices.

I've only seen this show in bits and pieces, but it's always seemed to me that the older kids are less than impressed with their situation.

Oh, crap. You're right. Monday fail!

Whoops. Oh, well.

They aren't unlikely. T.I. and Taylor Swift have collaborated before. Anyone remember T-Swizzle?

Now that you mention it, the sleeves do look odd. I like the cut and color of the dress, but can't stand the lines. I think it would look much better as one smooth piece of fabric.

Exactly. I'm very busty, and have always needed large tops. However, apparently to fashion designers that translates to either enormous amounts of fabric around the midsection or giant, gaping arms. I just need something to go comfortably over my boobies!

Oh, David. That is so not fetch.

I had the exact same thought. The beginning is just too precious, but you're right in that many people start things off that way to then go off on a rant.

I'm glad you got the links ... I'm on my work comp so can't get to them now, but it is awesome!

I don't watch "Mad Men" so I never thought too much about him, but he's been okay in my book since the Ambiguously Gay Duo skit with Jimmy Fallon.

Oh, shit! The one flaw in my plan. Okay, so I wave them around while wearing a shirt that says "This is an ovulation test, not a pregnancy test." Again, subtle.
