When I google chignon I see a lot of low buns - which is what I thought I chignon was. So what do I need to google in order to make my hair look like hers (other than a personal hair stylist's number)?

It doesn't look like a chignon to me. It looks like a low pony tail with the ends flipped under and secured - like in this pic.

I would love to know how to do this for myself. Any Jezzies who can do a tutorial?

St. John Wort interacts with various anti-depressants (and other drugs) and should not be taken without telling your doctor first.

Every day: Cryselle (BC - used to be on a lighter one but my body has OVERRIDDEN it and I now need more hormones), generic Zyrtec (if I don't take it I can't stop scratching - allergies suck - this also started up in my 30s), vitamin D (pale and wear sunscreen and live in NY), vitamin B complex, vitamins E and C.

Well, exercise and mediation or good for general stress. But anxiety is a different beast and I would continue discussing these things with your doctor. I do know some friends who have anxiety have found that certain foods (such as things containing caffeine) have a negative impact on their anxiety. So you may want to…

I just wrote the same thing! Jinx. You owe me a coke.

Smoking in general doesn't bother me as long as it's done outside. BTW I'm a non-smoker. I dated a heavy chain-smoker in my early 20s and at first it was no big deal. And then I started hating the habit. What really turned me off was that first thing when he woke up was he had to have a cigarette and that I found…

Plus what kid even knows who Bourdain is?

Oh, yes! But I have to say as a pale person, just playing in the sun (even with repeated applications of sunscreen) has still left me with some nasty sunburns. Some of my family members have even gotten blood blisters from severe sunburns from just a day at the beach. Parents shouldn't stop their kids from going…

True! Regardless, increasing your risk factors for a slow and painful death seems pretty stupid. As for smoking into your 80s - you may not get cancer but you are very likely to have a stroke.

I dislike those terms, too. We have words for "female humans" and "male humans" and they are "women" and "men". To me calling women "females" is dehumanizing.

Hear! Hear! While perusing the sunscreen aisle I have had total strangers pick up fake suntanning creams and tell me that that's what I should be buying! Or that I need to go to the beach more often! Yes, this happens at least once a year to me. My friends like being next to me when they feel pasty because I make them…

Sex Ed in this country makes me so sad.

FIGURING OUT HOW TO CON MONEY OUT OF MY PUBLISHER SO THAT I CAN DO MORE DRUGS IS SO FUCKING HARD AND DID I SAY IT MAKES ME HATE YOU - I MEAN ME

What if the zipper got stuck?! Heh heh.

Ugh.

I can't even with that shit. I mean WTF?! Clearly they don't know anything about female anatomy in general if they believed that bullshit.
