@victoriasauce: Yeah — even worse than the message as a whole - this is going to affect women who don't really have time on their side :(

@SylvanSylph: See, and I wouldn't be all that bothered by my man getting a lapdance, call me crazy.

@saintbernadette: Yeah, I clicked on The Plunge link with my claws out... they slowly retracted as I read that little advice column. I was so ready to be angry!

@AtomiClash: Yeeeees and according to Gawker, he was having coffee a few blocks from my office yesterday. Why, oh why didn't I drink more coffee yesterday?!

@Kenyakarma: Fair enough. I guess I was just pointing out that it's pretty extreme here in the states too, (at least in NYC) but it's not as visually shocking to people because instead of dripping with jewels, a woman might be sporting a $7500 bag.

@AtomiClash: It's amazing how quickly a person can find info when they're feeling a little stalkery:

WHERE? WHERE IN BROOKLYN? WHERERERERERERE?

@Princess Leela: So yeah, I know that the comparison I made is stretch... and knowing that we have homeless kids in the US is really different from seeing them on a daily basis running around half naked and starving, so I concede that my point was a little bit of an exaggeration.

@Kenyakarma: I'm from India, actually.

@Kenyakarma: it's interesting you say that — how different is it from a woman with a Birkin bag passing a homeless person on the street in NY?

gah... I love it. I want her pantsuit.

Is it weird that his posture and his face annoy me, even from the back? It just looks like he's making a really gross pouty face.... maybe I'm just hatey today.

gah... my life was suddenly plunged into jerry springer territory when my bf found out he had toddler...so I have some unexpected sympathy for people with babymamadrama!

@that's not my name: not to be a naysayer, because she is truly stunning, but Western preference for Arayan beauty won't really be destroyed till some dark-skinned Indians are considered this gorgeous. I mean, the little girl in Slumdog was DARK. I would've loved to have seen a girl with matching complexion play the…

Sigh. I'll never be a blonde bombshell. Ever. But "brown bombshell" conjures images of port-o-lets, so what's a (brown)girl to do?

@haguenite: Wow, seriously? About half my female friends have had HPV, and most of them/us are women who are incredibly safe and haven't had that many partners. That's so interesting...

@LaComtesse: Was your husband tested for HPV? I've never heard of a test for men (even though in theory they should be able to swap the pee-hole and test it they way they do a cervical swab... right?)

@dirtybee needs flan :-(: A male co-worked of my mom's got throat cancer from HPV. She called to tell me this, and basically to ask me not to give BJs anymore... which was awkward.

@RedVelvetCake: I'm with you there. Getting a LEEP sucks ass. I was too traumatized to have sex for a whole year and a half!

mmm. mmmmmm. but then I scrolled down and saw a kid and felt less horny.
