Ha, no. My mom just always liked to have a plant (real or fake) or bowl of potpourri or whatnot in the middle of the table when we weren't eating.

I used to hide it in the centerpiece. Or my pockets.

Right? That is my kinda straight lady.

Total power lesbian, fuck yeah. (Minus the suit, because she is a stylish power lesbian.)

Ugh, Lindy is so cute, and Ahamefule is so cute, and they are SO CUTE TOGETHER. Why can't we all have a dinner party?

Hmmm...I think it does actually work with the skirt, because at least there you've got the corresponding black band so there's some repetition that makes it come together. But with the pants...it makes it look like a pajama top or something. Maybe if she had a simple, sleek black belt it would help.

How much better would those Ted Baker pieces look without that weird ugly black neck band, and with an unadorned, simple boat neck instead? SO MUCH BETTER.

Yes, you may!

And yet I love American Horror Story. Probably because American Horror Story doesn't take awesome songs and turn them into bland, autotuned crap.

Not that different from all my old-school Minnesota church cookbooks, where all cake recipes start with "1 box of white cake mix" and food is Mexican if you put tortilla chips in it.

I'm biased cuz I hate the show (quick! take away my gay card!), but I'm not surprised because in general, the show's attempts to deal with "issues" has often been crass, heavy-handed, and wrong-headed.

SILVER. FOX.

I just want to have ribald bisexual adventures with him, is that so wrong?

EXACTLY!

"what's the deal with slagging off Buffy the Vampire Slayer O.G? "

Oof, I am so sorry your mom went through that.

Ahh, my first boyfriend's mother used to be an escort for PP! She was this tiny little amazing woman who would march right up to the antis and say "How many hard-to-place children have YOU adopted? None? Then SHUT UP and go home!"

I would like to be in this class to share my perspective as an adoptee. A vehemently pro-choice adoptee who is so fucking sick of adoption and adoptees' lives being used by fuckwads as a pawn in their let's-control-all-women's-bodies games. UGH.

See, we Midwesterners can be straight-up aggressive, not just passive-aggressive!
