Shameless is sometimes considered a comedy too. Even if a show usually hinges on drama, it’ll end up in the comedy category if it routinely has elements of farce or ridiculousness.

David O. Russell is an odd filmmaker. I actually loved American Hustle (it was made with hints of the ‘70s b-movie style, which a lot of younger critics didn’t understand), and I get why he’d want to keep working with Jen; I’m not super deep when it comes to actor politics, and I just straight-up think she’s great. I…

Eva! Caitriona! Rami! Tobias!

Hmmmm...yes and no. I agree that there’s likely something else going on in the fringes of this relationship that the mom isn’t accounting for, but it’s also not a huge deal to expect a teenager to answer her mom’s emojis once in a while. Unless the relationship is legitimately terrible and not worth salvaging,…

Yeah, Temptalia is a great resource for swatches and dupes. I think Vain forgets what the point of a beauty blog is. The tutorials are fun sometimes, but if they’re not up-to-date on product launches, there’s really no point.

xoVain skews really young. I read Temptalia to keep up with new launches, but Christine’s reviews are off a lot too; she has a tendency to label things as having warm undertones when they really don’t, and she has “scared” lot of people away from trying good products. I liked the storytelling element of MH.

The only time I dated a guy who cared about household stuff and keeping order, he ended up being controlling and borderline abusive. It really skewed my ability to balance my expectations going forward; it showed me that when guys care about that shit to that degree, it is very much NOT the norm.

Yep. And I would wager that having those experiences denied by other women hurts just as much.

This reminds me of my feelings about Joan’s situation in the Mad Men finale. I hadn’t expected Joan to end up single and living with her mother, running a business in a way that allowed her to opt out of normal society (and I actually expected there to be some fan pushback against that), but I thought it was a…

She was the only one of this year’s models to exude fun or happiness on that runway. It’s cliched, but I didn’t even notice her hair. I noticed her huge smile and her relatable energy.

I would recommend at least using a primer. Becca’s Matte Pore Perfector is oil-free and really wonderful, though you have to get used to applying it (pat, don’t rub it in).

EcoTools! Their fan brush is great for light applications of bronzer and highlighter (I use mine for subtle blush because then I don’t have to blend). The retractable kabuki brush is wonderful. It makes me feel like a fancy lady.

Marrying a British royal is a freaking JOB, even for someone who already had a title. Charles would not have been able to marry her if she was so pretty as to be intimidating to the public. My beloved Kate is almost too pretty to strike the perfect PR balance.

ME.

This isn’t wrong, but it’s far more complicated. Pricing for high-end cosmetics is set by the brand; there’s reason why prices for Urban Decay are identical across all websites (and on the brand’s site) and why it’s so hard to find a good discount for those products.

This article leaves out the fact that the judge is a woman, which very much changes the way people are responding to this.

There’s no “see me after class” when you’re a teacher and have other classes to teach and when the school has rules against cellphone use. If school policy dictates that you send kids to the principal/an advisor/in-school detention when you see them using your phones, that’s what you do. You don’t think it’s weird…

Yeah, you can admit that maybe the student was being a problem while also feeling that she didn’t deserve to be attacked.

She had asked the student to leave the classroom for being disruptive and she wouldn’t. Officer Slam was the security guard assigned to the school. The teacher was right to call school security if the student was being disruptive and wouldn’t leave the room.

I would hope that this was just to ensure that Officer Slam didn’t sue. Unions and contract issues can cause these things to drag on for years, so they might have just found some fine print that would allow the commanding officer to fire him immediately.
