I briefly worked at a small boutique that was very visual and display focused. There were a few displays with pens, fancy Blackwing pencils, artisinal stationary shit, etc. People would lose their fucking minds over it. Some people have like a psychosexual obsession with the *idea* of organization. A $2 pencil that…
There’s quite a bit of elision and misinformation presented here. I truly don’t have the energy to dig into all of it, but let’s take on the scare-quoted oxybenzone and Vitamin A, for example. Retinyl palmitate, the natural form of Vitamin A that is used in sunscreens, has been proven safe by multiple rigorous,…
I wonder what lead her to this pointless decision. Not very sharp!
My inner child is hyperventilating with excitement. When I was a kid I would hoard ALL the pencils and erasers.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE stationery. LOVE IT. But this store is stupid and it will fail. Ain’t enough carefully curated artisan pencils to pay the rent once the novelty wears off.
I have a problem with Hollywood’s sexism yes. I’m just saying that no one should verbally nail Rebel—err, Melanie on the cross.
I fail to get worked up about this. Celebrities lie all the time about their past and women especially lie about their age so they can have a better chance of nabbing decent roles....or any roles period.
“None of us remember her being funny,”
You say it like they were taking a weekend drive to a B&B. If you can vacation in Japan when you live in Canada, I’m going to say no to your “we can’t afford to raise a baby” fundraiser. The two things make no effing sense. Japan isn’t a cheap destination and it’s not like some Caribbean cruise or weekend in Jamaica…
I’m always vaguely surprised that someone who didn’t know they were pregnant could have a healthy baby. My word, if it was me and I wasn’t aware, my lifestyle would have destroyed the poor li’l smudgeon.
I am going to go out on a limb here and I don’t mean this in a unkind way-but if the cognitive function of this couple is perhaps a little on the low end, I can see how this all lines up. It could also explain why they think raising a cat is similar to a baby, asking for $50k is reasonable etc. Maybe to them it all…
Maybe I’m just menopausally bitchy here, but I’m so freaking tired of this trend of holding out your hand and expecting strangers to fund you for everything. It used to be that people would feel shame at asking strangers for a hand-out. Now everyone is setting up funding sites and whining for charity. Hmm, yes this…
Mark, you don’t need the quotation marks around the word ‘greedy’. She’s greedy. Yes, the people responding to her are assholes but that doesn’t change the fact that she and her boyfriend are greedy pigs who wanted to mooch 10x more than their medical expenses actually were out of people dumb enough to donate to shady…
I’m thinking of starting a GoFundMe to pay off my student loan. Oh, and if you guys could also chip in towards my rent, that would be great. I also really need a vacation. Thanks!
