Same here. The Rhodia small webby is absolutely perfect for this, in my experience. What pen did you get? (And GouletPens is the only online store I've ever gotten a hand-written thank you note from! Really outstanding customer service.)

YES. this. I mean, if AC can make Aveline in the image of that game, why can't they make a decent sounding character?

Is it wrong that all I really think when looking at this is "damn, I wish I had her thighs?"

I guess having a woman with stretch marks, c-section pouch, saggy boobs, oversized freebie-from-an-insurance-company-t-shirt and granny panties was a little too real for GQ and the american male reading public.

And now I have "The Girl is Mine" in my head, thankyouverymuch.

No, people are offended because IT'S OFFENSIVE. I guess until you've had someone run up to you and ask if your skin 'rubs off' or asks if you use African Black Soap ("because it's black and well, so are you!"), I guess it doesn't register. But good for you and your unpanty-twisted privilege!

this x100.

...and "presentable" is NEVER "how I just rolled out of bed this morning." I'm too far from the erocentric and skinny ideal of beauty to ever have that luxury.

God, yes. I don't wear makeup because I "want" to, I wear it because I HAVE to. Between the acne, scarring, my weight,color, and hair, I have an arsenal of stuff I have to put on before I can merely be considered socially acceptable, much less attractive. Same with my hair. AND i'm the only little chocolate chip in…

Yay! And Congratulations! Happy new year! sincerely, another foster parent

Well, I guess I have to watch *something * since Leverage got cancelled ...*sigh*

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of us women don't watch because we wish we *were* that gorgeous, hot woman...

Though it certainly is pretty, that is a terribly ill-fitting bra.

about that hair color thing — I always wondered, do they only show white women in these studies? Or do they get pictures of women of color. as blondes/redheads, etc.? I always wondered if, as a black woman, I count as 'brunette' or just 'other' because the rest of me is brown, too.

So what I'm hearing is that Lacrosse Players and all-around monsters who have no regard for basic human decency Will Frey and Austin Zehnde , who think that sexually assaulting an unconscious woman is good for lulz and couldn't possibly be a positive addition to anyone's team, business, or other community of decent…

this. I'm thinking Michonne spoon-and-drill type stuff; it scares me what punishments I think this stain deserves.

But where is the "not okay to be physically fit as a result of putting time and effort into the gym" message coming from? Does it even exist?!

Dismissive how? Higher pay? More likely to get hired? Better treatment by potential romantic partners specifically, and society in general? I fail to see how this 'dismissivness' occurs. Because it's *FAR* more difficult to be considered ugly than not. How is this hard?

Oh! What a handsome fellow! So glad things worked out for him (and your parents for having such a wonderful doggy!

damn. All he needs to do is undo that tie a little bit and...
