Oh, I adore Simply Be. I discovered them about a year ago. Be careful of the Joe Brown line that they carry, though, folks - it tends to fall apart pretty easily. (The rest of it is good quality for what you spend.)

I have O.J. Simpson, if that makes you feel any better...

I'm actually least bothered by the photo at the top of the page. It looks the woman is on vacation, possibly even on her own, and is voluntarily partaking of some local cuisine. Though there are shades of the whole Eat-Pray-Love-privileged-white-person thing, it seems less about exploiting the background folks than…

You are correct.

Fuck yeah we never shut up about it. BROWNCOATS FOREVER!

Yeah, Think Mints entirely suck. I've never understood them, even back when I was 5 and much less discretionary about my cookie intake. I used to love Trefoils, but the older I get and the more access I have to homemade shortbread, the less impressive they are...

When people write off books like the Harry Potter or Dark Materials series, I remember that anyone who knows anything understands that some children's stories have been awesome since the beginning of ever, and I just write off the people who aren't even willing to give them a chance.

The place where I've found this to be most frustrating, actually, is onstage. I can't tell you how many parts I've been passed over for simply because of my height. I'm 5'9", and apparently too tall for pretend romance with anyone near my height or shorter.

Once he's been introduced to someone as "my husband, James" (please, please, don't ever introduce him to somebody as "my hubby" - barf city), I do think that it is always best to refer to him by name. Pet names are fine when you're using them actually at each other, to an extent ("Hey, monkeydoodle, could you grab me…

Agreed. I never expected it to actually happen (The Ginny thing was so annoyingly obvious), but if life were fair, they would be together forever.

You can! That's true. Dracula even has some super homoeroticism in it. ;)

Well... I think that's a simplification of the matter. There are parts of them that are "horror" stories, to be sure, but there are also parts of them that are romance, and so on...

Once a woman has been raped she will always be a woman who has been raped.

Oh, oh, that little bow that the male soldier gives Michelle at the end. I'm dying. That's adorable.

AGREED.

There is at least as much Beyonce in this collection as there is FLOTUS. That's weird.

I... just... that actually kind of breaks my heart a little.

My friend was Palmer's assistant for a while, and while Palmer is super-awesome, she is also extra crazypants. Here's hoping you like crazypants. :)

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with jane_minx in thinking this deserves COTD.

It's funny 'cause it's true.
