People scoff at Uggs but I've had these babies for going on 6 years now. They are still soft and look brand new and are 100% waterproof and awesome and warm after sloshing through many a New England winter including a walking commute.

ScarJo is so pretty. Her fresh-faced look hasn't changed much since The Horse Whisperer when she was like 14.

I proudly call my husband and I a Craigslist success story, though I usually clarify that we met up the same night we first emailed each other so it went offline pretty quickly. Regardless, yay 4 Craigslist!

Just wanted to say I really saw a lot of myself in what you wrote here, and I just try to read opinions and take it all in without adding my (white, privileged, hetero) own voice to what is already a pretty buzzing conversation. I think part of the issue is this is a truly evolving conversation and "the…

LOL fair enough. Your post-it note comparison makes sense. However you could also argue that there are plenty of places to post stuff online with no character limit. There is something magical about the Twitter combo of real time and "bites" of messages (shoot me now) that has clearly worked in their favor. Not that…

I 100% agree with you, and can also agree that the majority of tweets out there fall into that category. Not all of them though! I follow a lot of activists and it's amazing to see one individual's opinion become a strong message without political or financial support behind it.

So you think paper and pencils are dumb too. Cool story, wangwang!

Saying Twitter is dumb is like saying "paper and pencil are dumb". Many people feel that there is nothing that has influenced the wider exposure of minority voices in a more powerful way than Twitter (and its visual bedfellow YouTube).

I was wondering the same thing after the shocking before and after photos. I would be really surprised if she didn't have surgery to deal with loose skin.

Sizes are pretty arbitrary and honestly I would guess that *most* size 00s are that way fairly naturally, having a tiny frame and for whatever reason no trouble keeping weight off. DISCLAIMER: MOST. NOT ALL.

:( :( :( So glad you are okay but so sorry you went through that.

Not gonna lie, this winter's weather has been one of the few silver linings to getting laid off when my company closed this summer. I loved that job but the commute in winter sucked and would be sucking hugely right about now.

We got a portrait taken of us at Sears because goddamn Tiny Prints wouldn't accept any of my existing cute couple photos as print-quality enough for Save the Dates. Other than that I would not have bothered at all!

I knew several straight dudes in college with this poster hanging on their wall and it's usually where my mind goes with this sort of topic. Sexy, yes. Sincere? I don't know.

Hah really. It's like "Our genius plan was all to promote these totally obsolete items, all while pointing out how they are useless and hindering in your everyday life!"

Ugh that photo gave me flashbacks to editing retail photos of jewelry. That shit suuuuuuucks. Way too many straight lines, ugly silver tones, and fake sparkles. Although now I am the person to call if you need to add a Twinkle In Someone's Eye™ via Photoshop.

Can anyone speak to the medical connection between the surgery and not being able to have kids? I've just never heard of this before this article. Maybe she and her husband will adopt.

Any commentary on the "No Jealousy" trait/bonus you can get in Sims 3? This makes it possible to flirt, kiss, and even WooHoo (yeah baby) in front of other Sims you've had romantic relations with and no one gets jelly or psycho over it. The Sims are pretty progressive and I think sex and relationships is one area…

Ahhhhh why didn't I think of this?? I love it and if this was me I would use this as my profile photo LITERALLY EVERYWHERE.

She could be a great Cover Girl or similar rep for up-close beauty shots.
