Definitely. Part of "Liz is dowdy" came from her dressing like Dennis the Menace at work and the fact that the women she encounters are very image conscious people like Jenna or Jack's very thin, glamorous girlfriends. I will say, I saw Sisters recently and she is just portrayed as kind of a hot skank in that with no…

She really seems to enjoy doing physical comedy so I wonder if she doesn't see it as "fatty go boom" as much as just "go boom." I mean, she has to know she's plus sized as it's almost always the main focus whenever she is discussed and she does not live in a vacuum but maybe she just does what she thinks is funny and…

That just makes me sad but it does give you a glimpse into the self esteem quagmire women steep in from adolescence onward. Even someone who has something valued by society -large breasts- has been made to feel somehow shitty about them. Girls I know who developed really early got it the worst because you're…

"Plus size" has a pretty specific meaning and it just does not apply. It is a retail term used to indicate clothing for women size 12 and up. Amu Schumer would never need to shop in the plus size section therefore, she is not plus sized. I don't even know what you mean by "a few extra pounds"….she is a heavier than a…

He's so good on Broad City so maybe he's better suited for a sitcom because Why? was…not great. There were funny parts but he is not really cut out as a talk show host (or whatever you would call that show because he did all the usual talk show things except actually interview guests.) Did you ever see the pilot for…

I'm impressed Hannibal has stayed on the show as long as he has since he is really poised for very mainstream success and a show of his own.

I read "esoteric" as "erotic" on first glance…I thought you just really had a thing for Cathy.

I like 'em nervous!

We're used to her just dressing so crazy the stripy body suit with the chambray skirt was so cute! And she coordinated the gold shorts she wore underneath with her gold ankle boots!

Maybe, but purses have been around for a really long time, long before women wore pants regularly, right? Again, I don't know. I'm not sure which came first but it seems like some combo of women carrying purses and t fashion designers being more concerned with the appearance of the clothes and not the function (and…

I think that's how he meant to come across but the Dan, who does have a really biased perspective since he gets contacted when people have problems, wasn't too far off to suggest that in his observation that many people who write into him think they can make a commitment with someone who doesn't share their sexual…

I had a serious Diet Pepsi habit (aided by my parents always having it well stocked) and you know how I stopped? I started drinking booze! For real, that sounds terrible, but I just find that when I'm sitting around at home in the evenings I need something to drink that is fizzy. I can't drink beer nearly as fast as I…

Now that rationale I can understand, I've spent so much time in my life dieting (in a way that most men don't, not that men never diet) that I can estimate the calories in almost anything off the top of my head while my husband has no concept of what's healthy or low-cal or any of the above. He knows what he likes and…

I'm a lady and I am not on board with eating things I don't like! I like plenty of healthy things (and plenty of unhealthy things) but it would bum me out to eat things that don't taste good to me.

That's true but I know I've had at least a couple pairs of workout pants with a tiny pocket, for a key or an ID or tiny Ipod when those were a thing!

I'd never seen a Maurice's before but I just googled it and while they don't have any super close to where I live, I am visiting my parents this weekend and they just so happen to have one near them. I'm going to check it out (although I have your opposite problem, and order things constantly online and spend way, way…

I too have gotten into Talbots! It makes me feel like an old lady but I've really liked their jeans and cardigans and they do have a lot of sales.

With the free returns, I say give it a go! A lot of people say their clothes run big but they feel true to size on me (I'm an 18, pear shaped with huge legs, so the fact that their pants and shorts fit one me is a miracle, much better than Lane Bryant.) Do you ever shop at Avenue? There clothes are overall hideous but…

I stick stuff in my bra all the time, I can put my phone in there, no problem (which I only do when my pants don't have pockets!) I don't stick stuff down between them because, yeah, sweaty, but up on the side in front of my armpit, I can keep money and stuff.

While it can be a pain, it's also pretty standard women carry purses so pockets are less essential. I mean, I love having pockets (and dresses with pockets have become very common and it's awesome) but it does make some sense to me.
