Nobody I know has ever read it. Which is a shame, as I remember it being a very pretty book. My parents also never read it, as they wouldn't have allowed me to read it if they knew Rapunzel got knocked up out of wedlock (very old fashioned parents). Luckily I was such a prolific reader they couldn't keep up and just…

Nope. It was so bad at my school that freshmen girls without a senior suitor would bemoan their fates—because if they didn't have a boyfriend during freshmen year (a senior or junior boy, natch), they likely wouldn't have one as they got older (since their classmates would then be dating the younger girls). Your only…

Anyone else remember the version of Rapunzel where she had babies out of wedlock (puritanical shock!)? I had a picture book of this version as a kid.

Thanks for letting us know your reasoning. You're right, she could have been a Jezzie (or maybe even was). And while I think it's perfectly acceptable to admit to not feeling grief in the comments section of an article sort-of-kind-of telling people how they might/should feel about this young woman's tragically short…

Yeah, that's just the way I would prefer it be worded. I don't doubt the writer didn't do it on purpose, it just bothered me. The young man lost control of the car, which then slammed into a guardrail. It's a slightly less "blamey" way of phrasing what happened (even though any insinuation was presumably unintentional…

It's awful when anybody dies, young, old, promising, not promising. It must be very hard on her family to lose her. I'm very sorry for her family (not her, because she is no longer suffering) and her boyfriend. For those who knew her, this is undoubtedly tragic. Do I feel sad, personally? No. I didn't know her. The…

I loved those books. Loved them to pieces. I think I checked every one out from the library 3 times. I hated the ones written more recently by the ghostwriters, though.

Yep! To me, makeup is a little bit skill, and a lot of repetition. So slamming her for taking 45 minutes to do her makeup (maybe the first time she's done a full face in quite a while), is like making fun of a person who is a little slow at their multiplication tables, and the comments would probably EXPLODE WITH RAGE…

For foundation I use Make Up Forever HD Foundation. I'm hopeless with concealer, so I don't use that. This foundation blends very smoothly, so I can layer it up a little more over a newly healed spot, without it being incredibly obvious. I usually apply one overall base layer of foundation, then gently dab more layers…

Probably true. I do hate that we equate personal life with politics, especially considering historic presidents. Like demanding a politician step down because he was stupid enough to send a picture of his wang to a strange woman he met over the internet. Please.

In the 2004 elections I was in high school. I volunteered for his campaign (which was about 80% because I liked Edwards, and only 20% because the college guy heading up his campaign in our district was crazy hot, I swear). I got to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes. I went to his speeches. I thought he was…

Ooh, this is such a great idea.

Can we stop hating on her for spending 45 minutes on her makeup? As someone who suffers from hyperpigmentation, it takes a long time for me to get my foundation just right so that my dark spots are covered enough that people don't stare at me on the street. (That is no exaggeration—without foundation, people. fucking.…

Oh, damn. I have some dust in my eye.

Her Twitter says it's pronounced "ee-lah-ria"—the H is silent. I had no idea how it was pronounced either, until my friend showed me.

Exactly. This is exactly the fucking problem. Violence isn't always a good choice, but damn if I don't want to smack the (tiny) brains out of these people.

"In addition to attempting to ban race- and sex-based abortion at the federal level, lawmakers in a few states, including Arizona and Kansas, have acted accordingly, introducing laws protecting doctors from lawsuits if they fail to disclose fetal abnormalities to expectant parents. Theoretically, anti-choice doctors…

While I don't agree with her personal philosophy behind maintaining her virginity, it's her life, not mine. The only thing I care about is whether or not she wins gold in London. Just like I don't really care about what's going on in Tebow's bed. Not that she should get special treatment from the media because she is…

My childhood cat used to sleep in bed with me. When I went away to college, he got really mad about it and wouldn't sleep with me anymore, at first. When I was home from Christmas, he would ignore me. The last three days he forgave me and started sleeping with me again, only for me to leave him for school once more.…

That is fucking terrifying.
