but also keep in mind that they offered her help and she tried it, but decided it made her too depressed and chose prison instead. for those who don't believe addiction is a mental illness, i would point you in the direction of that bullshit. poor kid (mean her and her actual kid, both).

ay-yi-yi...yeah, if he was drinking that would be a big deal. i mean, he's clearly a piece of work (a rapist piece of work) no matter how you slice it.

caveat: i'm not a mental healthcare specialist. i just, um, consume a lot of mental healthcare, and am familiar with the legalities related to mental illness due to certain work i do.

as has been stated below, a high dose of zoloft, improperly titrated (i.e., increasing the dose by too much too quickly) can cause a serious manic state in a wrongly diagnosed patient. someone you think is depressed but actually has bi-polar can go legit crazy. HOWEVZ: that hypomanic state will not include amnesia,…

i think by highlighting both the outrageous lies and petty missteps, it paints a picture with more depth and weight — how romney behaves across a spectrum of situations. there are some who won't be moved by the extraordinary lies, but will be moved by the poor treatment of a small business owner. the important thing…

y'know, if i had written a book about my experiences in my profession, and then someone came to interview me about my experiences in my profession who had not read the book, and asked questions that were clearly answered in the book...i might get kinda pissy too.

i want to crawl underground on my island and die.

precisely! i would like to start a goddamned [change.org] petition to get the whole operation shut down for be so poorly written. as i said yesterday re: Lucky (a $5 catalog masquerading as a fashion magazine), Bust is the only women's magazine in print today worth its ink.

why does every Worth It feature have to cost more than a greek island?

i agree entirely. this cut is so great for people with really thick textured hair. you can cover the shaved portion if you want to, or flip it over and BAM. bring the drama. extra points for a sweet fade design.

to kiki also means to sit around and chit chat, in drag slang. (yeah, yeah, i'm showing off how proud i am that i know that....and it probably means other stuff too that i don't know...hit me)

dying to read Girls Like Us. glad to hear your endorsement.

there is one small portion of the film that is visually graphic, showing the face of a girl whose face was burned after she tried to run away from her pimp. the rest of it is really just gut wrenching. but it's all true, and necessary viewing for anyone, especially someone like me who kind of thought human…

a close friend of mine works with sexually exploited children at an advocacy group in new york city. these are the girls you see on strolls in hunts point or working 8th avenue in times square. they look to be in their 20s but have actually been turned out into prostitution as children. the average age of entry…

any guesses on how heavily this law will be used in the rural states that account for most of that 50%-pre-age-18 marriage rate? and how heavily in more developed areas where angry dads want to stick it to horny teenagers? although i guess this will make it convenient for the husband of a child bride to get her…

i am you and you are me and we are both cool as fuck.

norman mailer makes me not want to have lunch.

this is why i only read Bust. Lucky is a very expensive catalog, and that's being generous.

inquiring minds want to be a dick. you make me tired.

oh my god, bert macklin, you can't just ask people if they're white.
