I wouldn't have done the same thing, but I do kinda like her, and I definitely have a lot of sympathy for the way she's been treated in all this. Betrayed by a friend, thrown under the bus by a man she cared for, and ridiculed for *decades* for something she did when she was young and insecure. How much would it…

Yeah...I've always felt kind of bad for Monica, actually. Yes, she made her own choices, and she knowingly got involved with a married man—that's not cool. She was young and insecure and made an impulsive, stupid decision. But I also think she got taken advantage of. She clearly had some pretty strong feelings for…

I've gotta say, I fucking HATE "ratchet". Hate, hate, hate. Words mean things, you illiterate jackasses.

There was at least one AbFab-themed episode of Roseanne in the last season of the show.

I have long suspected she wears corsets under her clothes, which accounts for the waist.

Now, probably not, but that may not have been the case when she started getting them.

I often found him creepily invasive and objectifying with his female guests, and it seems to make most of them (like Dolly) pretty uncomfortable.

Yeeesss. I came down here to comment on her laugh.

This is what I was thinking, too. And that probably went double for people trying to make it in country music, which, for a long time, was all about a "wholesome" image (especially for women).

I like this idea! The one about sequin dresses is my favorite :P

Yeah, I have a friend who has trouble digesting onions, too.

I was noticing her eyes, too. They're so pretty.

Yes, yes, absolutely THIS, to the nth degree. I don't have kids, but this is exactly what bothered me about the photo. In a comment I made on the other post about this, I said something about photographing them as if they're peers or contemporaries being what makes me uneasy.

As someone who combs thrift stores for old romance novels and often chooses based on how embarrassing the description on the back is, I'd probably enjoy a re-read, then :P

I think places not on Earth are probably okay :P

Yeah, I thought that was a surprisingly reasoned response from Bieber.

Perfect. I mean, she's fuckin' Oprah. No need to kiss his ass that much.

I saw that, too, but I don't remember who said it.

I haven't read any of her stuff since my teens, when naughty parts made up for writing flaws. How's it hold up?

Haha...probably!
