I really think she meant that Eames designs were in the inspiration for your/my chair, considering they undeniably shaped modern furniture and at least half of what Ikea sells is straight-up derivative. I have an Eames fiberglass rocker that I found in positively dreadful shape for a song. The design firm/Herman…

I am tired and and was skimming at the end and misread that bit as "your mom's friend yoga-dances to 'Poison'." Then I clicked the link and ugly-laughed picturing said yoga-dancing to the beat, which I really needed. So thank you!

I think...I think it is. And Ciroc "powered" the shower rather than merely sponsored it, which is hilarious. "Sponsoring" is obviously totally outdated and clunky and only for lowbrow slobs, like those used car lots that take out local television commercials. They don't have organic, flowing, collaborative…

I remember encountering January Jones at the afterparty for the SAG Awards a few years ago - the show had been nominated after just one season, and I hadn't started watching, so at that time I had no idea who she was.

I am a born-and-bred Berkeleyite. It's pretty great to go home and visit my parents and just completely...let go of getting dressed, basically. I have plenty of friends who are also from smallish communities (minus the tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff at the university, Berkeley is just another odd…

MORE DANTE'S PEAK REFERENCES, please and thank you.

"But if TV shows like Sex and The City taught us anything—"

Also "alabaster" (read: paper-white/see-through) skinned, also with near-black hair (also Irish!) I once looked down during a pedicure and the woman was shaving my toes with a disposable razor. Now, I am fairly sure nearly everyone on earth has a least a few hairs on their big toes, but apparently mine...were really…

EXCELLENT POINT.

I agree wholeheartedly. Amazing essay, beautifully written, so inspiring. I'm excited to dive into the author's work!

I didn't see it, but I was living in DC at the time and had friends who watched. Apparently, the one black woman featured was also the only one who actually lived in the District vs. NoVA or some such like the others.

As an equally Jewish person, can I cancel out Mr. Elbaz's forgiveness of Galliano? I know they probably know each other personally, but...c'mon. This isn't even about being Jewish. He absolutely deserved what he got, plus more. I am glad to see the French judicial system actually occasionally prosecutes hate…

Seriously, that was the very first thing I noticed. I'm not saying she isn't a very slender woman, but those shadows are so touched-up it's ridiculous. It doesn't even look like a photo anymore - more like something an intern with Illustrator on his laptop slapped together. I guess that's probably what it is,…

I am so sorry! I had a similar experience recently when my stepdad was diagnosed with kidney cancer. You are right to try to be strong, but these life events are so seismic that there is really no "wrong" way to react. It sounds like you have a caring relationship with your family and I always believe it's better to…

I think it would be a great idea to make an effort to attend the shower and then lay the groundwork with her (so to speak) after that event that you may not make it to the wedding. In fact, scrap the "may" - I would get to the shower and send your regrets about the actual ceremony and then maybe plan to send a gift or…

Great question! I think you're spot-on in feeling that "sometimes it's harder to know my body in the context of another person pleasuring it." I guess my very first thought is that 11 months doesn't seem that long being sexually active to me...you are definitely trying out a lot of different fun things quickly, but I…

I have never liked Anne Hathaway much, because I don't like her acting, and...that's the only context I have to go on. I don't know her personally, and have no clue whether we would like one another or not if we did. I haven't seen her Le Mis performance, but then again that's because I REALLY don't like musicals. …

"Amoldovar"?! Dodai. Girl. C'mon. Almodóvar is an artistic genius. Let's not insert "mold" into his storied name.

I really hope this guy's profile has a crock in it about how he's such a "nice guy" - then you can submit him to the Nice Guys of OKC tumblr along with this amazing missive.

You win all the awards. ALL OF THEM!
