According to my sister, who got her BFA in fashion design, doing a sheer top with nothing underneath is supposed to be so that the garment isn't interrupted by the lines of another piece of fabric. Basically, when you put an undergarment of some kind underneath, the piece almost becomes more about the undergarment…

Hey now, they're just "kids in their twenties" with degrees and careers. How should they know to clean up after themselves and not break other people's shit?

I hope it's not over. I hope there is much acting out and wildly inappropriate behavior relating to this subject, at least through the end of the week.

As strange as it seems, when I was depressed, the only time I felt severely suicidal was when I was PMSing. The rest of the time, it was a thought in my mind, but it only seemed like an imperative right before my period. I had to remind myself that I was PMSing.

Do you not understand what the word "unintended" means?

My self-esteem SKYROCKETED when I stopped reading "lady" magazines. Even now, if I read some of that shit in a waiting room, I start to get that feeling that I'm not good enough and maybe I DO need to buy some stuff to compete with the other vagina-people, and that maybe my husband IS cheating on me, etc.

I think that we, as a species, weren't meant to be sedentary. I suspect that for a lot of people, merely exercising, beyond the physical benefits, helps quiet the mind. I know that on days when I go and work out hard and exhaust myself, I fall asleep better in large part because my mind grows less noisy. The author…

Agreed. I worked at a 5 star luxury hotel for a while, and our dress code was STRICT. Besides the mandatory uniform, we could only wear a certain kind of shoes, earrings had to be studs sized less than a quarter, natural makeup (no red lipstick, I got in trouble for even wearing pink once), hair had to be natural…

Abercrombie is a horrible shit company that sucks and is awful.

Meh. This is standard retail appearance dress code. If you took the handbook on 90% of retailers and read it, they would say the same things. Every company peddles a certain "look" and associates are expected to maintain it, and really should expect it when they apply. The worst dress code policies I've heard were…

I grew up a lockheaded innocent child in the West Indies, as did many of the children I knew. My father taught me that they were a symbol of accumulating wisdom over time and a focus on the internal self, one's character. Locks are a special part of West Indian culture as well; I honestly see bans on locks as bans…

It would be interesting to do one of those parent swaps where the school board gets to live with a black family and personally get their kids ready for school every morning to conform to the bullshit rules THEY set and find just how many great and creative ways they can find to fix a black girl's hair that doesn't…

I totally agree with this...it meshes with my theory that everyone woman should spend a certain amount of time around other naked women. Seeing women naked in the gym locker room made me feel SO much better about myself and my body. It seems counterintuitive, but once you realize that no one's body is perfect, you…

I saw a picture of Beyonce in booty shorts the other day and heels. She had cellulite. She looked ravishing. I will showcase my cellulite just like Bey. Minus the heels.

I hide how much fast food I eat. I blatantly lie to my boyfriend about how much of it I eat. I eat it every day and sometimes for multiple meals. During my lunch break at work I eat it in my car so I don't have to carry it past all of my co-workers and they don't see how much of it I eat. I make sure to park facing…

I knew something was wrong. I would go to the store and order a sheet of birthday cake with someone's name on it because I didn't want them to know that I was eating it myself. I knew to hide how much I eat. To this day, if I'm eating with someone I can't finish what's on my plate and often eat laughably little. But…

It honestly sounds like the OP just wanted to take the opportunity to humble brag about her Cinderella feet.

Rue21 is still around? I was shopping there when I was a pre-teen before my mall got a Delia's. The clothes were absolute shit and the best part were the zany socks they stocked. They were like a knock off Forever21, and that's saying something!

I couldn't put my finger on why, as a pro-choice advocate, this so weirded me out. I shuddered when I read it. You found the perfect way to describe it.
