God, I loved Faith. All of it. Even the creepy Daddy Mayor stuff.

Fair enough. I was just reacting to the implication that there’s no reason anyone would go there EXCEPT to be surrounded by big-boobied dimwits, and/or the implication that everyone who goes there is inherently disrespectful of women.

Meh. My coworkers sometimes go there for payday lunches, and I’ve been known to tag along.

There’s nothing in this article that’s convinced me chocolate doesn’t help weight loss.

Oooh, can we blame Blake Lively?

“Belfie”?

Yeah, I clarified later that I had to read up on the book and screenplay.

Athleta is my fitspo. I can’t help it. I want it all.

Teva does have cute boots. I am a rabid Doc Martens enthusiast, though, so I already have a substantial boot collection.

So would I but... the author is white.

Yeah, she conveys ethnicity generally through names... the Patil twins, Cho Chang, etc., and descriptions, like Kingsley Shacklebolt’s slow, deep voice (made me think of James Earl Jones as I was reading). I haven’t read these spinoffs, though, so I just did some Googling. Sounds like the movie plot is the backstory…

Yeah, aren’t they? I shouldn’t have posted this, because now I kind of want them again after managing to mostly forget about them.

That perhaps depends on if there were any POC in the book.

Her body just shut that whole thing down!

I don’t want *any* of Hillary’s Republican opponents in office, but if I was the one who wrote that letter, I probably also would have used the singular “opponent” just to simplify things.

If you live near water, a lot of places have rentals. Good luck!

It’s a blast. I first tried it last year on a friend’s board. (She isn’t especially fit, either, but got the hang of it right away.)

It’s messing with me, too. I think I started getting a little itchy when I noticed that Athleta’s been dressing their modes in Tevas. And then I bought a pair on super-markdown at REI, and I swear I’m only going to wear them kayaking and paddle boarding.

“Sir, I take the skin off chicken!”

I was immediately like, “Wait, he was in ‘Lost in Translation’... oh, no, they only talked about him.”
