That was exactly my attitude last time my heart got broken. It works wonderfully!

I agree. With all of that. Kelly's dress might not be so awful if it wasn't for that weird peach stripe down the middle that makes me terrified the whole dress is going to pop apart. And I adored Lea's dress because it was quirky and cute and her. And I don't have Nina's coloring but still wear that shade of green…

I LOVE the "Flawless" commercial. And the Dove true beauty ads. Particularly the PSA with the little girls that I've linked here, which I freely admit made me burst into tears when I saw it for the first time. You're right, this photoshoot works against the point they're making.

... My ovaries just recreated Mount St. Helen's.

Me too!

Can I come work for you? I'm in college, you can pay me in Ramen and Spaghetti-Os and by letting me cuddle the sloths and I'll be the best employee ever.

You and Lottie get it exactly right.

A combination of excitement and not being quite balanced. Puppies are like babies in that they're cute and walking is hard. Our puppy, used to spill his food all the time because his head would tip it over. He's a full German Shepard, so he wasn't small enough even as a new puppy to go bottom's up, but his head…

I'm sending you warm fuzzy thoughts and hope you find more things to take away your sads!

Yeah, that's true. And I agree. After all, that porn production company backed out of a contract with her.

I think that was it, too, but they got rights because OJ never paid up after the civil suit, right? And the title was actually OJ's, the Goldmans only designed the cover and added the subtitle "Confessions of the Killer." There's also a label saying "Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice Authorized Version" on it, too.…

I agree with the visibility thing, but some white people are dark enough that you can see it. I'm personally Wonder Bread white, but my mom has this olive, almost Eurasian complexion, and she definitely gets ashy in the winter, at least on her arms and legs. I can see it from across the room on her. That said, I…

It's insanely late and I've been working on a paper for hours so for half a second I read "mudita" as "nutella" and was in essentially a state of rapture.

Don't forget, though, OJ got his book a few years after. Only the settlement against OJ from the Goldman family's civil suit stopped it (if I'm remembering correctly?) and in this case, there's no victim's family to call for a stop-press—since she was Caylee's legal guardian and closest family, Casey would be the one…

As a Southern woman worth my salt, I agree, I'd shank someone. With a high-heeled shoe. Repeatedly. And I'm pretty sure that in the South, "S/he was insulting Dolly Parton!" is a valid defense.

I remember knowing all the words to "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That" when I was so little that I thought "painted-on jeans" meant she was mad at him because he got paint on his pants.

It's not just TN. In other parts of the southeast (at least in SC, where I'm from) you can register for Imagination Library and get the books, and public hospitals have registration forms in the maternity ward. At least, the one where my little brother was born. I filled one out literally the day after he was born on…

Dolly Parton, I am totally unashamed to admit, was my hero when I was a little girl. She's so unapologetic about her looks, her attitude, and (this was especially important to me when I was little) that fabulous southern drawl of hers, I spent years trying to be as comfortable in my own skin as she is. Not to…

...Oh my God you're right. You're insanely right. And she's going to go after the Biebs.

Sloshed by the first commercial break, in need of a new liver after two episodes. :)
