THANK YOU. I'm so, so tired of the accolades that this type of "art" gets - whether it's made by women or men.

I really, really identified with what you said. I was born in the us but spent most of my childhood in Asia. I, too, was always very quiet and bookish, but I never felt ostracized. Similarly, it was a culture where people could make observations about body size in a neutral way - like oh, your sister is fatter than…

Hahah...I snorted my Diet Coke! As I've gotten older I've noticed from observation that whether it's sexual in nature or not, some people just have more social vibes than others...there are people you meet of either sex that you instantly feel at ease with and can talk to very easily and are super charming in that…

Really Georgina? You do know that NYC already has one of the most generous food access policies in the nation and that food stamps are accepted nearly everywhere right - farmer's markets, ethnic markets in Chinatown, bodegas, etc, and a 'healthy' meal of rice and beans and veggies can cost down to $2 a plate right?…

Yea I shouldn't judge. I used to love Cosmo as a teen but now my trash of choice is even worse. Like National Enquirer bad. I'm totally devolving.

Does any one past the age of 17 read Cosmo willingly (willingly as in not at a doctor's office, plane, or when there's no US Weeklys at the nail salon)? I feel like with ladymags you usually read 'up' from the targeted demographic - like 13 year olds are the ones reading Seventeen, and 16/17 year olds read Cosmo and…

For all of the conservative hand-wringing over jobs and the economy, you would think that they'd make their states better places to live for bright young people to spend money, start businesses, and pay taxes instead of being the places that they cannot wait to leave for the less restrictive pastures of the coasts. …

re the boobs thing - or you just straight up stop caring, even if your boobs never come in! as a teenager you're SO obsessed with your perceived shortcomings that they become EVERYTHING to you. i barely have a chest even now and as a teen i wanted implants SO badly. then in my 20s, i realized that i was blessed to…

Two things:

Lucky you! She is gorgeous!!

I have nothing intelligent to say. I <3 <3 <3< 3<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 her.

Yea. You can see my clavicles, I'm so thin, but if you go a little down I have this little pouch! LOL

Yah mine gets bigger and littler depending on things too....but overall it's just still there. To make it worse I have a really long torso and no boobs so sometimes I feel like Olive Oyl! What I wouldn't give to have a little waist and have my fat actually go to my ass/boobs/thighs.

As a naturally thin girl, I've found that no matter how much I exercise or change my diet, my genes have dictated that I remain lanky while storing most of my fat in my little pot belly, no matter how many carbs I cut out or crunches I do. My genes have also dictated that I will never have a JLo ass no matter how many…

At the amount of visual magic going on in that shot - makeup, lighting, photography, post-production work, all you'd need is a head to look like Liz Taylor.

Meh. I don't think this is true at all - maybe in some circles, but from the more conservative corp standpoint my observation has been that the pedigree and intelligence and 'classiness' of the partner of the man in question matters a LOT if we're talking about making a strategic marriage that elevates his…

whoaa... I have no idea how you got that from what I said. It was just a jab at his f- list career.

When I read that tweet from Jason my face turned all red and I thought, How does this guy get work! Then I thought, oh wait...

Do you have any idea how many kids of the 1% do absolutely nothing and take up admissions spaces in competitive colleges across the country? Good for Diddy's kid to have that level of drive to succeed at something. He gained recognition fair and square and I'm sure UCLA will more than recoup $54k from Diddy and his…

He makes Terry Richardson look like Helmut Newton.
