That's because prom dresses circa 1997 were based on this 1995 design. You have a good eye!

Oohh, using quant to map dating behavior? Yay! I would argue that this is also in some way a Pareto efficiency where all the various variables intersect in a way that is acceptable to both parties. I think two dimensions is too simple, though. I would argue that you'd need multi-variate efficiency for both parties to…

So scary that there's been both wide-release and made-for-TV movies on the subject!

That is a specious comparison. The objection to Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone is grounded in two salient facts: 1. Nina Simone's skin color and features, how she was treated because of them, how she conceived her own identity as a black woman and activist because of them, and how they informed her music and art,…

None of those men are giving me clit tingles. They should be fired.

You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.

Another bit the New York Post decided to leave out about Ms. McCray:

That's an excellent point. The "most moms" canard is such a red flag that I missed the "only rich people should ever be mayors" aspect.

I'm reading this with two Braavas roaming my house, and now that you mention it, I think one of them is giving me "the look." Or its GPS is mapping.

I had thought Mr. Pitt was going to go the way of Robert Redford, but I see instead he's entered his Jack Nicholson phase.

I love how he goes from super suave to greasy creep bucket and back over and over and over.

Oh, Gwyneth. Did you really just link to that fucking "Hardest Job in the World" video to make your point?

I always thought that "I don't trust a girl who doesn't WANT any female friends" would be nicer or more accurate. I found it very hard to make friends as a teenager - when I admired a girl I would idolise them to the point of intimidation, really frequently. Desperation and fear are traits that are not conducive to…

I'm out, obviously, but let me know if you think of one.

There's a famous murder in Michigan where a woman killed her husband with a hatchet (I think). He was a former auto exec, she was a teacher.

"To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle."

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

Writing little pissy notes on your deserved ticket...
