Hard agree. Most tattoo artists I’ve known flat-out refuse to do face tattoos, unless someone already has visible neck/face tats. Even then, they usually have a waiting period, and sometimes a minimum age that’s well over 18 (their levels of strictness for hand/wrist vary a lot more). The one month decal requirement…

Oh, yeah - he’s suuuuper creepy. :( . There are a million stories of him taking girls back to his room after his band’s shows [I wanted to say Dogstar but that is horrible and forgive me Keanu, I’m too lazy to google!], in which the chicks are sometimes 18+, but that’s not the way to bet [typically 15-17]. The girls…

WHAT ARE MAD LIBS? WHAT IS WORDS? Stop with your archaic references, unfrozen caveman music critic! No one can understand anything you say! :P

LIL HOUSE PHONE?! omfg, if that is really someone’s stage name and not just a ridiculous made-up example, they are my new favorite artist on principle. I cannot stop laughing at that, for some reason.

omg bad acronyms for everything are my favorite, especially non-profits that try so hard to have a catchy name and then painstakingly work backwards to find relevant words that fit.
That said... ok, yes, GURU is arguably a perfect example of that - BUT HE WAS ALSO GURU! I feel super uncomfortable lumping him into the…

ahahahaha PLOT TWIST!

damn, beat me to it.

Getting laid like crazy by women who *still like him* to this day - and he was slutty as hell. Long before The Weinstein Era, he was asked by a reporter how he managed to have a reputation of having slept with everyone in Hollywood, but women only ever said nice things about him? (The insinuation wasn’t that he was a…

At least the story has a happy ending, with him being a piece of shit no one talks to, rather than one where he’s a universally loved family man and all-around great guy, whose silly hs antics would be laughed as dumb kid stuff by all that know him. Because lots of stories go the other way. :/
(I am still reeling from…

You still get credit for recognizing its brilliance and spreading it!

Ha! This is my favorite piece of blanket ‘b-but-how-do-I-avoid-sexually-harrassing?’ advice ever. Because really: so succinct and perfect: The Rock is approachable and friendly! I bet a lot of men would like to hug him in a completely non-sexual way! He’s a nice guy that would probably totally be happy to hug them…

Ugh. So sorry and also yep, to all of the above. I wasn’t trying to insplane at you; just trying to contextualize why I’d ever ‘want’ such a thing (btw, have you ever been to crazymeds? Jerrod has a hilarious quote illustrating how incredibly awful psych meds are, and yet how things are even more awful without them.…

Oh, I very much doubt *he* blames her. I’m sure he forgives her! This is God punishing her for her sins, obviously. Her long-suffering husband is doing the decent Christian thing by standing by her at all. He is to be lauded, not vilified!

ew? castoffs? He wanted a *baby,* not a garbage pet!

YOU MONSTER! HIS WIFE IS SICK [ALSO: INFERTILE!]! NOT ONLY ARE PEOPLE TREATING HIS DEEP PERSONAL PAIN LIKE SOME SOAP OPERA MAKING THINGS MORE DIFFICULT FOR HIS FAMILY TO HEAL, BUT YOU’RE PROBABLY TOTALLY COCKBLOCKING HIM FROM ANY POTENTIAL PITY SEX FROM THRONGS OF HOT YOUNG WOMEN! PLEASE RESPECT HIS PRIVACY DURING…

It’s not all that uncommon, and is absolutely routinely given to outpatients, not just people cloistered away in hospitals. It frightens me, but I have both brought it up to a psychiatrist a few years back, asking whether it was an option (he was pretty shoked [no pun intended] and said that while it was, there were…

This is a BIG win for you, then, I promise. NL has amazing PR, is fine to visit for brief period, but living there? Really not what you’d expect - at all. You escape ‘from’ Holland, not ‘to.’

10/10 - would read your advice column regularly.

I can’t even... I was a teenager in San Francisco in the 90s. AIDS wasn’t a diagnosis; it was a death sentence. I volunteered at a bunch of places (largely food-based, ‘cause wow, turns out that when you’re too sick to work and had to constantly shell out money for a million new tests and bizarre afflictions, it turns…

omg, right? I was like, wait - SHE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT! The words “confused,” “five kids,” and “Tori” were all in the same phrase, but that’s... not the same thing.
