The Cramps! Hands down my favorite show. In fact, both times I saw them, Lux Interior drank a bottle of Yellowtail and danced around in stilettos while Poison Ivy just looked bored and cool as shit. I’ve been to several local shows that were fun for other reasons (a good makeout sesh in the bathroom, etc) but the…

I also had the worst public interaction experiences of my life living there. And I have lived in NYC for 8 years. Just very strange, somewhat surreal things. No snakes in a box though. A very unstable homeless woman came up to myself and my friends as we were standing on a train platform, started screaming, lifted up…

Some of the worst experiences of my life happened on the Paris Metro- I was flashed, threatened with a snake in a box (seriously), backed against a wall and asked for sexual favors. And this was 20 some-odd years ago. It was the only blight on my time living there.

I've gone through the heartbreak of two miscarriages, and I can't imagine how enraged this poor woman must have been. I am grinding my teeth into sawdust right now.

Good God, this gave me such a ragestroke. He clearly has no respect for women and there is no way in hell he would’ve been that fucking condescending if it were Matt Lauer doing the interview.

I loved Sonic Youth in my 20’s but I never listen to them now, and I am on the fence about this book. I have a feeling it will make me dislike Kim. I’ve disliked Thurston for a long time.

"All I Want", "Blue", "Case of You", "Free Man in Paris", and "Help Me" are always-and-forevers for me.

PULL UP TO THE BUMPER, BAY-BEEEEH: Grace Jones is getting a documentary! Grace Jones—The Musical Of My Life will be produced by the BBC and has been described as "a cinematic journey into the private and public worlds of Grace Jones, mixing intimate personal footage with unique staged musical sequences." Yes, please!

I'm 52. I think about getting really old every time I get out of a chair.

Fake ID would have been an AMAZING lipstick name for the "feel" she was supposedly trying to invoke. It would have communicated it far better. You should have a job naming beauty products!

I get it too. And my look older to get into that club and see the band go tos were black eyeliner and red lipstick (or black depending on my mood). Ahhhh, memories. I would have erred on the side of not rapey sounding good taste and gone with a name like Sneaking Out or Fake ID.

The time when Depo was the hot new thing on the market, and my gyno forgot to tell me that it isn't recommended for people who have depression before she stuck my ass with 1 years worth of estrogen (back in the day it was an annual affair).

This story doesn't even compare...

I thought the "elaborate for us" thing was a bit obtuse. Pretty clear he meant the rampant misrepresentation of feminism in mass media, perpetrated by its enemies.

Are we really giving an ally a hard time for not understanding the literal definition of feminism and using societal cues from those around him to inform his idea of what it means? Yes, that was a mistake, but he rectified it, and is doing his best to try and be a good ally now.

"It Would be So Nice if You Weren't Here" by Charles Grodin (possibly the snarkiest book ever!)

The gingerbread men did come back.... I looked around, seeing my classmates FEASTING on the cookies. Cookies that had, as far as we knew, WRITTEN POETRY. They were alive like we were alive. And they were being brutally massacred at our hands. I started sobbing. The teacher had to call my parents. I had that cookie in…

My 27 year old hipster brother mentioned to me that he needed more work clothes. When I told him Costco has very nice khakis for cheap, he looked at me as if I had suggested he buy a powdered wig.

Before my non-wedding, I had a bunch of my friends over for an adult sleepover. We giggled and watched Labyrinth and Princess Bride and The Last Unicorn.
