Not picking on you in particular- this is really to everyone.

Charlie is a star!

I've tried them & they are evil!

Blonde or not, I'm really jealous. Mine are dark but straighter than a straight thing so might as well be ginger, while my brother's are long, luxurious, curled & just dark enough.

There's a lot about Obama's presidency that has been disappointing (drones, war, drones, war) but I AM SO FUCKING JEALOUS OF YOUR PRESIDENT.

she doesn't want people to see her face. She performed on a UK show with her back to the audience.

Me too!!!
