I've heard tale on the inter-webs that Sofia has appeal with the tiny men-folk. She's a girl and boys listen to her talk? Clearly witchcraft or Al-Qaeda.

That is so awesome! My granddaughter watches both Sofia and Jake & the Pirates. She isn't old enough to know the words (20 months), but she gets so excited even when the commercials come on!

"Kenny Ortega (yes, of NEWSIES fame)"

I will totally watch this with my granddaughter. Unfortunately, since it isn't Princess Sofia, she will have no idea who any of these people are, but I don't care. Gramma is EXCITED~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was legitimately confused when I first read this story, but now that I've re-read it 3 times I just... Yeah, I'm not sure that disappointment covers it.

Um, what is a "black event"?

What is a "black event"? Is it an event hosted by black people or attended by black people? Also what number is required for it to become a "black event" instead of just an event? Is a "black event" exclusivity black? If so, how would anyone else go? Do you describe events as "white events"? If so, can/do other races…

Oh my goodness, you wrote that?! I recognized the cover immediately! I read that book in middle school and loved it! Your book inspired my sixth grade self in so many ways, including my interest in powerful women in history. Thank you!

So cool to see the cover of my first novel, Anna of Byzantium, on your site! Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that this is a modern imagining (by a talented artist named David Bowers) of what she might have looked like and isn't to be taken as a likeness. And yes, she was a fireball of awesome!

If only she were using her influence and stardom to also build schools for kids, homes for Katrina victims, or award scholarships. All that shilling of products on her show should have lead to something besides a personal hoard of cash.

That gif is perfect.

Is it possible to learn how to blow glass? I'm intrigued by it but have no earthly idea where to begin. Is it even plausible to just do or do I need to be certified?

I've seen comments of people dismissing this as not a real problem, like "oh, be glad SOMEBODY likes you." This upsets me.
I lived in Asia when I was 20-21. It fucked me up. Most of the foreigner guys I knew had weird fetishes...and they'd tell me about it all the time. They were really in their element and surrounded…

RDJ tried to screw Terrence out of more money? That's his argument? Not that he's, you know, a violent douchebag misogynist? If RDJ squeezed him out at all it was probably because he's an asshole, and RDJ's had his issues (and will be the first to list them), but being an asshole has never been one of them. Hell,…

Um, have we all seen him in the Thor promos on Comedy Central where he's in character as Loki holding kindergarten focus groups? Because, um, YES.

On Being a Gay Male Feminist

I agree. I also think Loki is Frigga and Laufey's child, borne of an attempt to bring peace to their realms. Frigga used her trickery to cloak her pregnancy, and when the shit went down and Odin attacked Jotunheim, Frigga left baby Loki at the temple for Odin to find, knowing he would rescue a poor, defenseless baby.…

I guess as with so many things in life, people think that if you wear larger than a 14, you are willing to accept any kind of sloppy seconds that they want to throw at you...

Yeah, since the whole issue is their fading brand, why are kids who wear larger sizes going to buy clothes that their friends are rejecting? Yeah no...

My little sister, who is a teenager, is a 12/ small 14 (though this is in UK sizes), and was desperate for something from A&F (for some reason it has only become really popular in the UK in very recent years, along with Hollister). She was upset because she couldn't find anything in there to fit her (I think she…
