see, maybe i'm confused. Don't you have to have a flat stomach to wear the mom jeans? the lower rise ones seem to hold in the pooch a little better (that button is holding back the tide that is my gut).

Thank you for asking this! I have no idea what a double corset is. Did she wear a corset under spanx? A corset on top of another one? Did she wear one on her head so she couldn't eat? I am confused and yet intrigued.

I know it isn't the point, but I kinda wish this version of these women were what was being judged, not the glamour shots/made up/photoshopped versions. It's a relief to see they don't look as similar as the made-up photos would suggest, but still sad to know the reasoning behind the startling similarities: the…

Some really good stuff here, though it really makes me afraid I'm headed for a divorce (or a cold marriage).

Amen.

Too bad they didn't bother to talk about why 'she says no' : about the pressure the wife felt to have sex and how that probably helped kill her libido, or being a stay at home mom contributed to being touched out or exhausted by the end of the day, or that her husband might not have been doing anything to help…

I think it'd be more odd if you didn't feel like running around campus using your pencil (or pen) as a wand. Can't do that with tablets/smartphones.

I'm beginning to think that heels are a skinny girl's game, too. All the women I know that say "oh, they're so comfortable!" are thin. I put my fat self in anything above 2 inches and I'm ready to throw them at someone after 2 hours. Plus, I just can't walk in them right. I look like I'm dredging for oil.

Thank you so much for including roti on this list. So missing my Trini second mum.

Is it wrong that the only thing I thought of upon seeing the AA ad story was "those thigh highs sure are cute/I bet they wouldn't fit my thunder thighs, though, *sigh*"?

Agreed. This puppy is Ted Gibson compared to some of the hairstylists I've been to. (and paid!)

So is this the puppy version of "Mommymommymommymommymommymommymommy?"

While I congratulate you on your dating prowess, size 12 is by no means overweight. Congratulations! You're a size Medium or Large. Thanks for your outrage on behalf of those of us who are considered too fat to date, though.

awww! So cute!

But if she's refusing entry just on basis of race, then yeah, it's racist. You're right, she doesn't have to do him, but then she should just not work that day/film/project.

Yes! Quelle Suprise! (cue record scratch .mp3)

*sigh* I'm so afraid and depressed about this. I'll be 39 this year, and it just seems so terrible, to just not be seen anymore.

My first thought exactly.

This right here. I'm at a relatively new job for 9 months now and I'm scared to stop with the weaves/wigs and go natural lest they start saying I "don't fit the culture" anymore. It really is about survival sometimes.
