"Monika Allen cofounded Glam Runner, which makes tutus for runners. When Self emailed and asked for photos of women running in the floofy skirts, she happily sent a photo of herself from the L.A. marathon."

Maybe she could do mediation on her own, for free... which would involve her doing it by herself, learning the discipline of it, etc. But that's not really comparable to the session she paid for, where her experience was guided by someone else (not to mention the calming environment, the aromatherapy of the spray,…

Wow. That just blew my mind.

I couldn't help but google a little - the story isn't from this year, so I guess the post was written farther along in the spring (last year? some other year?). Apparently she just let the whole thing fizzle out eventually. I saw one conversation where she claimed to have gone to a doctor and said they gave her an…

Not that this is the main point in play (at all), but I'm a little confused by the math. She says that she is due around Jan 1st (calculated from her message from the Lord - not sure how she calculated, if she just added 9 months, or 40 weeks or ??)... someone had predicted a Christmas baby but that would have put…

That's what I was wondering.

I know I'm driving you insane, so I'll stop, but my main point is that I really don't think they were, because they've existed for a long time and I didn't see people wearing them without something long over them until recently. That's exactly my point, that it's a pre-existing clothing item which now has a different…

But it was made to be a shirt, and since it was invented it's been worn as a shirt. So it would be strange if you thought it looked more like toilet paper, even if you hate it. I think a better comparison would be wearing bras as shirts. Not perfect, because it shows one's belly. Maybe it's like a slip. I don't…

Hmm. Since a lot of those things I googled are labelled as tights and are definitely what I would call panty hose, I guess we are transitioning away from the phrase? But they still call them panty hose on the ones they sell at victoria's secret and/or the ones at the drug store, don't they? I don't know. But yes -…

I think the cut was designed to go under something, not to be worn as its own item - and that's how it looks. That's the kicker for me.

Yeah today was a pretty decent day weather-wise and I saw a couple of girls wearing leggings as pants, and I literally could see where her ass-crack was. She apparently was either wearing a thong or nothing. I was thinking, wow, it's that jezebel post come to life.

See, here's the thing. Leggings, due to the combination of the tightness, cut, and fabric, pretty much show one's crotch (and ass). On a female it's "camel toe," on a boy it would be a pretty detailed bulge. They were made to go under a skirt/dress or at least a long shirt that goes to around mid-thigh. Yes you…

I just googled and was surprised to see so much super sheer stuff being called tights, as I would call those panty hose and I would call tights something that are about as opaque as the top portion in your photo (if not moreso, I mean there are even wool tights).

It's driving me nuts that I am passionately on team Leggings-r-not-Pants, yet I can't think of any way to defeat your logic. they're just not! Because.... Dammit!

Damn. I didn't study the whole board so didn't notice I could wait for oxy.

thank you.

I can't say enough how thankful I am that you went there. One of my two boys died in the fall, at age 6. Reading about this book, I just... I can't even. It enrages me. How dare she?

oh my... what is this from?

Wait... so does that mean that she planned a surprise family wedding at home since he didn't want one, and then he couldn't get out of it? Or she surprised him by marrying him in Vegas like he wanted? Or some combo - family in Vegas?

yeah, sorry. didn't see the dead horse had already been beaten, because kinja, i guess.
