Yes, it looks like it. And now I'm sad Mr. Flames is all about his privacy on the internet, because I have an awesome pic from our honeymoon when he got too close to a monkey's tail that I would love to share with my Jezzies.

Dead Rising 3? I am up to my elbows in pumpkin puree and apples right now, and jealous as hell.

If you live in NYC, try The Bridal Garden. It's a charity and the profits go to schools. Designer samples and used dresses at least 60% off retail, arranged by size, no sales pressure at all. You get to go through the racks yourself. You take the dress home with you that day and can arrange to have it altered in house

I watch Black Friday on TV from the comfort of my couch. I figure it's the closest thing to a real-life "The Purge."

WHAT? Well, I know what I'm doing once I get babyflame down for the night.

Eh, it's not that just that Kim K is low-brow. It's that she's such a shameless fame whore, and people hate to see that rewarded when there isn't another talent (like music, in Kanye's case) to back up the narcissistic self-promotion. She's that girl you went to high school with who's always screaming "look at me!"in

And they don't let you combine coupons, so I made one $25 order to get a goodie bag of samples, and another to use my 20% coupon for a fancy face mask I've been coveting and get even more samples. And I don't even wear makeup most days, this is just skincare stuff. (Hides under desk).

Yes to all this. My college boyfriend dumped me the first time I complained about something in our relationship. I had been trying so hard to be the easy-going chick out of fear of what might happen that to have my fears confirmed the minute I showed vulnerability gutted me. I wish I could say I learned from that

Really? Is it true or is it an urban cat myth? I want one but I'm afraid I'll pony up the dough and then find myself allergic anyway.

I don't mind him on the Voice. Maybe he's a douche, but it's not like he's John Mayer.

Ugh. So much ugh.

What's weird to me is that NYMag has the Cut, which covers fashion and some quasi- feminist think pieces. Why didn't they assign one of those editors to the story? Probably because Terryworld would have refused?

OK, so you won't believe this one, but many years ago I was at the Natural History Museum with a friend on a Wednesday. The place was pretty deserted. We were in some primate hall and I said to my friend, "those monkeys kind of look like the puppets in Labyrinth. Man Jennifer Connelly was terrible in that movie." 2

I am late to this party, but I think I might win anyway:

The consent issue was huge for us. My husband is cut, my son is uncut. We just felt like we didn't have the right to make that choice for him when the medical benefit, with good sanitation and condom use, is marginal at best. The unnecessary pain just days after his birth, him being separated from us and put naked on

Freshman year my dorm room was on a floor that for some reason seemed to have every musical theatre major on it. You haven't lived until you've had to hear people in the room next door scream/sing the entirety of the soundtrack to Little Shop of Horrors at 3am when you've got a midterm the next day.

Can I add to #1 - if you're really set on DIYing, then make sure the Y really stands for You. Don't assume all of your bridesmaids or female relatives are just dying to tie up 500 mini bags of jordan almonds, bake you a pinterest-worthy dessert table, or summon their best calligraphy skills. If someone offers, fine.

Agreed. A family member offered (we didn't ask) to shoot our wedding, and then backed out when she decided she'd rather enjoy the day. We ended up paying a professional $1,500 (half of what most photographers were quoting us) and we have beautiful images that we will have forever, including my favorite pictures of two

I remember how frustrating film school was because of this. Light meters, film stock, gels, none of that was included. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't go crew on other student films on weekends because I had - wait for it - a job. So I wasn't gaining the experience or making the connections of my wealthier
