Yes I seem to remember the trend of Ugg-type (though possibly not always Ugg-brand, so possibly just cloth/fake fur) boots with dresses peaking in 2004- 2005. And Nicole Richie was just as guilty. But as for Ugg-brand, like the sheepskin-lined leather ones, they are warm and I didn't know that fashion frowned upon…

I mean, she used to, if my US Mag pix were to be believed. I just googled "Pamela Anderson Uggs" and like, 12 pictures of her in Uggs came right up . . . You mean because she's vegetarian/vegan? It's true they may not have been Uggs brand, I can't tell . . .

"Uggs, the warm Aussie boots that no one is supposed to wear besides tacky people because fashionistas say so "

That's true, but some fat people (myself, and possibly the contestant?) do need to work out 90 minutes a day, at least, to lose even 1- 5 lbs a week (and five lbs. a week at her (and my) former size is not crazy-dangerous, because the more you weigh, the more that comes off, at first). I always had to work out more…

Also—and this is just my own personal little story, because I don't know this woman's story, really—when I was in weight-loss zone at various times in my life, I really, really liked walking/doing aerobics, and did it for 3.5- 4 hours a day (while full-time employed as a first/second year attorney—so, busy at work!),…

See, I didn't take it that quote as Meme Roth saying, "to be fair and give equal time, you will then have to do Princess Cancer, Infertility, and Diabetes," I took it as her saying, "You will have to explain to the kids that Princess Plus-Size will *inevitably* lead to her later incarnations, when she gets cancer,…

I have Type 1 and I'm fat; got it when I was 8 (pre-fat, kinda) at which age I also developed Hashimoto's Thyroidosis (sp?) (I'm one of those mythical fat people with a thyroid disorder, who don't really exist); my sister also has Type 1, since age 13; she's thin (and, either coincidentally or not, does not have a…

Is it?! Because I was going to say that "O-Lympic Village" (minus made-up name and sans ski gear) is basically our (very non-athletic, not-very-Olympian) go-to move for regular . . . . what did Cosmo call it?, "coitus," but that Mr. Chazzy's dick doesn't come out of his upper abdomen. But now I'm thinking I…

One of my cats, the little ginger, does this. If I am crying/hurt (like when I stub my toe or when I cut myself chopping veggies the other day) he FREAKS out, first comes up to my face and sniffs my nose and generally gets in my grill to, I guess, assure himself I'm still breathing, then goes looking for someone to…

I would just like to add that, for me, it felt isolating in that I did not have the experience of being single allowing me to have deeper friendships. I had (and have) friends, but I actually felt myself start to pull away from them as the years passed and I kept not having a boyfriend; my friend group would group…

Reading these comments I too feel old. I'm married now but before my husband, whom I met when I was about to turn 36, I had been on one date. It did and didn't bother me. I haven't been single in almost four years and I still relate a lot to people who are "chronically" single, i.e., those who want to date, but are…
