Second grade. There was this big stack of colored paper and a large open window so I grabbed most of the stack and tossed it out the window, watching the courtyard updrafts make it float beautifully away, like large colored confetti (think: the plastic bag in American Beauty). Don't remember the reprisal although it…

OMG! That reminds me of the day my dad told me my mom had been fired. — since I was maybe four year old, I thought she had literally been set ablaze. I was pretty sure I was supposed to feel sad that my mom was dead, but my dad didn't seem all that fazed, so I kept my festerign grief to myself. You can imagine my…

When I was in 2nd grade, my class made gingerbread cookies. The teachers orchestrated an elaborate ruse where they pretended the gingerbread cookies ran away. They left flour trails around the school, and wrote messages from the gingerbread cookies with chalk. Messages like "Run run as fast as you can, can't catch…

Oh my goodness where do I begin. Should I talk about my obsession with sharks, spiders, gemstones, or the sinking of the Titanic? No. Should I tell stories about how I used to "live" in the tree height hedges in our yard and would stay there for hours speaking in monkey language to myself till my mom would call me…

I am going to say two things because they are both good. One is brief, one requires more explanation.

Oh god. I was six or seven when 'Achy Breaky Heart' came out. My grandparents had a camper in a permanent lot on the Ohio River (on the West Virginia side, thank you very much), one of those campgrounds where you leave your camper year-round and can build porches for them if you wish. That summer, the spot next to…

When I was 4 years old, my pappap passed away. Being 4, I didn't have much of a concept of what death meant - I probably kept asking when he was coming back. My parents explained to me that people get old, and when they get old, they will die and go away forever.

VERY IMPORTANT

I heard her and Lily Tomlin speak at a Sundance panel this year and they were simply amazing. All the history, all the experience, and they do not give a fuck at this point. Jane is all about providing support and inspiration for the next round of women in Hollywood. After the panel I went to a screening, and lo and…

You mean Kanye might actually have thought through the current racial tensions and is speaking to them in his designs?

So I'm going to go out on a limb here: is it possible that the fashion kevlar vest for kids is actually a statement about racism, parenting as a person of color, and police violence in the US?

Point of fact: he is showing just as much vagina as Hannah Davis.

I have met Dani Bernfeld and she is TINY. 90lbs soaking wet, if that. She's a total down girl and from what I've seen, works her ass off. Hirsch is a twat of the highest order for doing what he did.

Everybody is reporting this incorrectly. While it may be spoken as "James" it is spelled Yjaiymeise which is a collection of perfectly curated letters that are hand harvested from 100% biodynamic veganic fair trade locally sourced alphabets.

with my luck, they're probably going to star the tuna & not helena bonham carter

i just finished watching 'a room with a view', came online & saw this

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a writer for an alt weekly in South Florida, at the same time Manson was still doing local gigs. We photographed his band for our magazine. He showed up, was very nice and polite, and had a retro metal lunchbox in his hand. He asked, "Do you want to see what's in my…

The live octopus tentacles is called Sannakji, and you cut the tentacles off of the octopus while it's still alive, the rest you kill and you boil in a stew or make sashimi. You add salt and oil to the still moving tentacles and you swallow them whole.

This is where my Asian background comes into play!
