I realize this is out of nowhere, but thanks again for responding. I just got caught up from the beginning, and I really think this is one of the best adaptations of P&P I've ever seen. It's amazing how well they manage to balance staying true to the story without being bound by a literal interpretation.

He's so lumping hot.

I also feel like they really differentiated Lorelai and Michelle as the series has progressed, which helps deflate the comparison between the actresses.

Definitely. I mean, whose clothes get actually dirty enough not to wear them a second time? Wrinkled dress pants are still pants. That was definitely always an off moment for me.

Yup.

Why, might I ask?

So, this is basically a woman saying, "I was the one of the first people gentrifying this neighborhood, and I resent that this gentrification has progressed even though I am part of the reason it started in the first place!"

All my friends who move into really cheap housing in Chicago (eg, Humboldt Park) are very aware that they are contributing to gentrification, since the cool, poor, young white people moving in is the first wave of gentrification. They sometimes debate the ethics of it, but we've never really come to any satisfying…

You probably realize this, but "pedophile" is used as a catchall term for both pedophilia and ephebophilia (which is not recognized as a word by Disquis' spell check, making my point in an unexpected way). The distinction is helpful in certain situations, but I don't think the conflation is necessarily a harmful one.

@avclub-e0f48a1058f0f0204b22d4a2fd6f18ae:disqus While that's a fine generalization, there's something to be said about a decade in which the dominant fashion styles complemented almost no one's bodies (and the only people who looked good were wearing next to nothing, because being naked looked better than wearing…

You'd think buying menswear would be easier (and I think in some ways it is, especially pants), but as you're saying, men's shirts have gotten strangely shapeless. My dude friend is built like a swimmer, and shirts that fit his shoulders just swallow up his torso.

That seems like a fair assumption. The quality of the writing here is good, but I guess someone somewhere feels like the articles need weird misleading titles.

UA=Alabama?

Ugh, the 90's. So many crop tops.

Not sure why tailoring is a bad option. I have a body type that certain styles just don't work for, and tailoring is the way to go, especially for pants. Also, I think a lot of people end up buying ill-fitting clothes, then buying more clothes because what they have doesn't work. But if you're very consciously buying…

I do as well. The best fashion advice is basically "wear clothes that fit your body, not what you think your body should look like," and they manage to deliver.

@avclub-5905114b2a37b2b7b0a719d55ac35cd9:disqus I'll fetch the vinaigrette!

Yes, and it presupposes that there are categories of things that should be good and shouldn't be, which is totally false in my experience. It's like saying, "it's really good for [genre]," as if being a genre work somehow lessens its intrinsic value as art.

@avclub-9f3362679d786df531bab7953d7ab610:disqus as should be completely obvious, I'm talking about taste, yo.

Oh wow, mine too! We had a dog named Louie, and we'd say to him all the time, "Louie! Taxis cost money, food costs money, rent costs money!" And he'd just turn his little head to the side.
