I’m having a very David at the Dentist moment right now.

The wood glue used to affix those carefully-dyed pubes to his skin is certainly high quality.

Sad. I feel like I went straight from “17” to “More”. With a very brief stop at “Cosmo”.

I agree; pre makeup Missy looks fresher to me too. I think the look she was given with makeup is too harsh.

WHOA. Holly never signed a NDA? I know this is not my best moment, but......

Yeah, if I wasn’t inclined to dismiss the whole thing as a fad diet already (spoiler alert: I was!), the 70 pounds in 4 months would have made me lose all respect for it. That’s not reasonable or responsible.

I’m on a similar diet where I’m gluten-free except for all the gluten I eat. 22 nonconsecutive days and counting!

70 lbs in 4 months? There’s no way that’s healthy.

My best friend and I used to yell “SHOW ME YOUR DICK!” at guys in college because they were always telling us to “SHOW ME YOUR TITS!” Guys were legitimately offended.

I agree. The Times actively participated in this deceptive promotion. Where’s their asterisk for their own involvement?

I know this is just rich lady privilege and MUCH less important than all the other misleading crap the Times shovels out, but its very pointlessness makes it more irksome, somehow. Did they just get…

Sorry if I’m hogging the comment section, but really the bigger scandal is that the Times ran an essay by her in the Sunday Opinion section to promote the book whose lead paragraph declares herself an anthropologist, describes her as “a writer and social researcher in New York” but still does not have an asterisk.

All I keep thinking is that there is so much to make fun of the (Park-5th ave area of the) UES as is, why do you need to make more stuff up?

So that initial promo push in the time all about how this is a legit anthro study is utter bullshit? This is just a rich lady “memoir”?

I mean, “telescoping” and all that didn’t exactly shock me. But at least The Nancy Diaries push didn’t suggest it was a sociological study.

He probably meant “damn, that means you’re some kind of Indiana Jones and way more sexy and interesting than I could ever cope with.”

It’s probably the weirdest criticism I’ve ever received from anyone in my entire life.

I suppose if we use the geometric definition wherein a line is the distane between two points then yes she does have a line. Technically it would be a line segment but that’s a bit clunky for the fashion world. This means of course that the line goes into infinity which meansa there are an infinite number of points…

I would use this. I recently went on a date with a guy and somehow it came up that I’m into Egyptology. He stared me dead in the face and said, “That is just not attractive.” Bring on the UFO weirdoes.

I think it’s less of you being a philistine, and more this looks nothing like a vagina.

Just to show how much of a Philistine I am, if no one told me that was a giant vagina I would have guessed a giant Ricola horn.

Years ago I thought I had signed up for a sword play class but it was actually a play sword play class (for theater majors but I misread the course description). It really included all kinds of combat. I loved the take a punch, roll over table combo. I had to drop the class though because I wound up with water on the…
