I can do lipstick and flicky eyeliner but heels are my nemesis. And shaving. I always thought that women in shaving ads who have perfectly smooth and shiny legs had probably been rubbed up and down with baby oil for hours before being put on camera but I patted my friend’s leg the other day and it was so alarmingly…

No, it’s Becky.

Learning incidentally because you accidentally observes someone doing something is a pretty terrible way to learn. Imagine if we taught doctors or programmers this way. “We’re not going to actually talk to you about anything or give you many tips, but we’ll have you sit in a room with other people in this field and,…

Like most people, I was an gangly teen- all pimples and limbs and braces. I had a huge, super nerd-girl crush on someone I’ll call Joe. Joe was a year older than me even though he was in the same grade, and had bit puberty sooner as a consequence, so was more man-than-boy shaped. Ravelston likied.

You should friend her on facebook, work yourself into her life, and slowly destroy her.

Mine was not at a school dance, but it was Jr. High at a basement party at the Coolest Girl’s house.

And I take good care of myself which I have done for a long time and it is paying off. So, when you are 63, I can only wish you find as much fun and happiness…

Random question—when you started going grey how/where did it happen? I got a grey streak a few years ago and panicked because I thought it meant I was going grey super early, but so far none of the rest of my hair is turning grey and I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like when most people go grey later in…

Point of contention: Everyone has earned the right to not be judged (unless you're accused of a crime or do heinous things).

Haha this is a service my BFF and I perform for each other, as middle-aged women. "Am I over the edge into crazy old lady?" we ask. I always run the risk of looking like that lady community college teacher who does homestays in Central America in the summer and always wears some Guatemalan fabric and a rustic necklace…

I think her style is great, and I'm 26.
