But it doesn’t (usually) make one sick - curdling happens if you cook with low fat yogurt, too. My grandmother said it would make me sick.

My maternal grandmother told me never to mix citrus with milk because it would curdle up in my stomach. That was why I never had juice with cereal. Didn’t find out this was wrong until middle school when I ate an orange and had a glass of milk and didn’t feel sick after. I actually kind of freaked out because I…

I thought they sold the place in the finale? I suppose it was back in the market??

Dildo? Okay, don’t know if I’ll ever get THAT out of my head.

This is why I don’t buy super-expensive “shampoo” systems. And there are “cleansing conditioners” made by mainstream brands. I have a huge pump by Herbal Essenses in my shower stall right now in addition to regular, drugstore/salon/department store stuff, I have also used items from healthfood stores/health section of…

Many women in Hong Kong take their husbands’ names, but I guess British colonialism has something to do with it. In Hong Kong, my name could very well be stylized as DelectablyChic Husbandsname Maidenname Chinesename in full. Of course, people will call me either DelectablyChic or Chinesename IRL if we are going by…

Yeah, basically all of Quebec freaked out because Sophie Gregoire decided to call herself Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau. Very WTF to the rest of Canada. I mean, her choice, right?

This is the opposite of Quebec, where women are basically forced to keep their birth last names. They can “assume” a married name, but unlike the rest of Canada, cannot “officially” change it on legal documents. I don’t really understand why one can’t have a choice. I chose to use both names, without a hyphen (which…

Ideal, schmideal. Not 100% buying it. Sure, being slim is more “accepted,” but I don’t like using the term “normal” JUST for those who are plus sized, which was what some people believe you were implying. As another poster said, let’s just use “normal” for everyone.

Kids can lie. Internet truly exist until I was 15 or 16 (and even then, it was dial-up unless you were at school), but how exactly can you prove that you’re over a certain age when you’re registering for an account?

My point is calling size 14+ “normal” can imply that anything smaller than that is ABnormal.

So size 6 isn’t “normal” then? Let’s just get rid of most labels, keeping only short (rather than petite - though I don’t mind “petite,” personally), “average height” and tall.

But will other brands - CLOTHING LINES - ever use her as a model? Size doesn’t matter as much for beauty. Heck, they could use a 4’10” model for beauty. I don’t think it matters much for shoes, either, provided that she can fit into sample sized shoes.

I was never a Sassy reader. YM and Seventeen (my mom introduced me to Seventeen, probably because it’s a “classic.” My mother read it herself. She didn’t buy it - it was very expensive to buy foreign magazines in Hong Kong back in the 60s, but she said a girl in her class had it and passed it around), most definitely.…

I’m probably around your age (36) and outside of school, I learned quite a bit from reading Seventeen, YM and the like. Are teen magazines no longer publishing these types of articles?

I’m not a fan of Charlie Sheen and I think he’s a disgusting man, but no one needs to be slutshamed.

Dear Kim and Kanye,

I thought ethnic groups hating other ethnic groups was a fairly normal thing, whether one is in Boston or some other city. Immigrants are always hating on the newer people who arrive. Sometimes even within the same ethnic group.

I have a midi skirt I bought in 1995 that I still wear on occasion!

Dear J.Crew,
