"devise a type of contraception that's equally good for the body and the environment"

uhhh How about a girl with a brain, who always speaks her mind?

i rewatched mulan recently and was basically like THIS STILL LIVES UP TO THE HYPE to myself the whole time.

I want to suggest a new millihelen column: What Am I Packing?/What's in my suitcase?

Voting for Shang

I will put $20 on the live Mulan remake not actually starring a Chinese person.

Fucking animals.

If you want to register for a honeyfund that's fine, and if people want to give to it, that's great. But if I would rather get you fluffy new towels or monogrammed flannel sheets or bamboo salad tongs, I disagree that this makes me an idiot or a prude or a religious wacko or an out of touch old person.

I give cash anyway, but I think honeyfunds are nothing more than a cash grab. I will never contribute to one (though I will give you a check in a card anyway). I had a traditional registry and most of my guests gave me cash. People have this idea in their heads that if you don't have a registry, you're going to get…

I am Asian and I approve of this message.

Don't piss us off by demanding gifts of such specificity and risk getting nothing and an empty venue.

I have zero issue with honeyfunds. I have some issues with people who ONLY have honeyfunds, because it can be limiting/embarrassing for people who don't have big gift budgets who still want to contribute something nice. And I have HUGE issues with people who say "pay for my honeymoon or don't come to my wedding"…

People who put registry info on wedding invitations are horrid. Horrid! Put the info on a wedding website, or make sure your registries are searchable via something like The Knot—if you MUST, include a slip of paper with that info with shower invites—but please do not put that crap on a printed piece, especially not…

I have an old roomie with a honey fund registry too, who shared it on facebook. I wasn't invited to the wedding but you want me to help with the honeymoon? I can't.

I bought a couple a massage for their honey fund to Tahiti... because that's what they wanted. It was $150 and that was like the cheapest thing on their registry. I'm sorry but I just think that's tacky.

Whoa there partner. The wedding is not a party the guests pay to go to by way of gifts or cash.

I love those red envelopes. There's no "open-this-empty-card" disappointment when you see those red envelopes.

This is such an American sentiment. At Asian weddings people show up with red envelopes filled with cold, hard CASH.

This is a bit dramatic (I assume intentionally so...).
