I’m wondering when they will just compel poor people and prisoners to “volunteer” their bodies for medical research. That would be an amazing coup. I’ve done it for pay and a couple of weekends of an in house stay nets me $2000 on average. Imagine the savings if the justice system, for profit penitentiaries, and…

United States Legal Slavery 2.0

I’d say the latter too. I always say those measurements are a guide...how do you compare to the guide? Say the set of the eyes....A little closer, a little further apart....

Thank you! I’ve taught art to kids and adults. It’s an on and off thing unfortunately. Hard to get steady work. I can’t really work in public schools because I’ve modeled for other artists with life drawing and photography, and that causes the pearl clutching variety of parents to make an issue about it. So I do…

That may be. I’ve worked with eight year olds to paint self portraits that I’m proud to have guided. By “guided” I mean teaching them how to measure, compare color/tones and think about the overall composition. It was a project that took several days to do, and about an hour and a half per session. They all made…

I used to have a game with an ex boyfriend (still friends...now that I think about it I’ve done this with him post breakup too) where if there was an outrageously attractive woman well dressed, or even just sexily dressed—a sample exchange would go down like this: I’d make some fake snarky bitch comment (out of her’s…

It can’t? JGL takes on and reverses the “Baby it’s Cold Outside” dynamic..seductive and playful with no rapey aftertaste!

I will embrace all holiday insipid pop and gladly hum/sing out of tune along, just if I can celebrate the end of the Halloween run for that GHODAWFUL Fall Out Boy tune with the Munsters Theme Song. That may be the worst thing I’ve heard all decade.

I’ve read about younger pop stars and various rock musicians of all ages when they’ve dropped an album, on average say...2.5-3 years later and the press/some critics call it a “comeback album”. Um....maybe that’s just a fairly reasonable amount of time to tour from the last album, decompress from said tour, live life…

Eh, the bra is fine...it’s not hidden but it doesn’t look like bra hanging out..just a cross strap that goes decently with the overall design. If I was a bridesmaid, there would be no “no bra” or only those stupid adhesive options for me.

Charlie Sheen has been “ick” for a long time. Not because of HIV, not that it matters whether I know if he’s infected.

When things are down between me and a pal, we remind each other that Gene Wilder is still alive and it’s all bit better.

All true for me too, and I like that he brought back Cosmos. I keep getting distracted by a disproportionately big ole butt in the overall package though...he’s a bit misogynistic/objectifying. I remember some nasty stuff he said about Sarah Jessica Parker, all for the crime of having a career in the public eye with…

Sorry if this is too intimate, but I think I love your boyfriend.

No worries...I’ve seen this show live. The lameness is part of the silly fun of it. Most of the cats were “um, nahh...”, a few were talented underachievers who did the minimum, and then there was a sprite tabby boy who went full ham. He did all the tricks and practically did a tap dance and sang “look at meeeeeeee!”

I like his version better than Rihanna’s!

I’m not a chef but I think you could replace the shortening with butter...right everyone? anyone? I think my mom made apple pie crust with butter...

Here’s the real deal (and better yet, no stampede to fight through): https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2…

The closest female friendships I made in late hs/early adulthood had an imbalance to them. They got to have adventures/misadventures, and I was the loyal but geeky friend cheering them on, running errands for them, being their ear well past just venting but time wasting circular rumination no matter what I returned to…
