@mynamebackwards: also i would need boobs to do a dolly costume, which i do not have. balloons?

@Thistledew: rad! that's really creative. i went as princess leia for halloween like, three years in a row, but your idea is much better.

@mynamebackwards: I LOVE DOLLY. i would totally dress up as her, but i'm going to a black metal mass on halloween and i think i would look a liiiitle bit out of place.

to anybody still looking for a costume idea: last year i went as marla singer from fight club, and it was a big hit. i put the costume together in 20 minutes - all you need is a lot of hair gel, a big black hat, some smudgy makeup and a "hello, i'm _____" nametag.

last year i saw a frat boy dressed up as a giant inflatable penis. it was about 7 feet high. i still can't decide whether it was awesome or awful.

@fblady: i tried to convince my man to dress up as henry VIII with me, but he doesn't exactly fit the physical profile.

@Thistledew: i love darth vader, but how exactly are you planning to pull that off? vader helmet and a black bikini?

@ineffable.me: @I_can_still_pitch: @yellow_dog: ok, scratch that. internet trivia led me astray! it wasn't even her in the nude scene - according to IMDB, "Jodie Foster was fourteen at the time of filming and refused to appear nude. Thus, her older sister, Connie Foster, was used as her double in the film's brief nude…

i'm going as anne boleyn, because i'm totally obsessed with her. i have this weird medieval-style dress i found at the thrift store, and i'm going to wear a long black wig and do a big, super-bloody slash across my neck. i've never been into doing girlie costumes - the gorier the better, say i!

this is slightly off-topic, but did anyone ever see the movie "the little girl who lives down the lane"? it stars a 13-year-old jodie foster. i watched it recently and was totally shocked to discover that she appears naked in one scene. how was that okay, even back then??? apparently she really regretted it and has…

@fattiefatty2by4: @SisterMaryMartha is ready for 2009.: i thought it was pooh bear.

@JessicaLovejoy wants a Deldeaux in Butts!: no more sexually explicit skywriting!

@Dagnabbit.: yes! i saw that too! SO EXCITED!

@hortense: totally! word is she cheated on justin with him. he's the dude mentioned in "cry me a river." (why do i know this??)

@DoNotStalk: they are probably designer. for all her "folksy" pretensions, palin has a team of stylists who dress her in designer clothes. that outfit alone probably cost several thousand dollars.

@plothole: YES! i am not a mariah fan but that song is ahhhhhmazing. and i think "christmas (baby please come home)" is even better!

oh also, does everyone know that this book would never have existed, had it not been for nabokov's wife? he was convinced that it was no good and was ready to throw the manuscript in the fire. his wife snatched it out of his hands and wouldn't let him burn it.

late to the party, but this is my favorite book of all time, and has been since i was 16. i've never read a piece of prose that could compare.

always sad to hear about a good mag folding when there are so many awful ones on the newsstand. cosmogirl was always my favorite when i was a teenager - it was SO much better than seventeen.

i can't believe how big she's gotten! looks like she's going to be tall...
