Ummmm I had this baby beat. At an even younger age. It’s been said I resembled a monchichi.

My second had a lot of hair, and it never fell out. She has more hair than any 5 year old I know now, and it’s impossible to keep tamed.

I've had three hairy babies (pictured above), but that's some next level stuff.

I think #1 is a wive’s tale. However, I’ve only had one kid (fellow commenter HippieChick), who turned 25 yesterday. She was born with a full head of hair—not THAT full—but no heartburn for me. Also, her hair never fell out. It just kept growing, and sticking out from her head in every direction. Because she grew hair…

Ok, sure, it's a lot of hair.

I gave up on J. Crew LONG ago. I could not justify the price for the quality. I usually wait until BR has 40% everything (which is basically every other day now) and I still can’t justify for the quality. I have pieces from college (in the mid-90s) that still stand up, when most of what I bought to wear on my…

When I had to wear business casual to work, my entire wardrobe was from there. I can’t tell you how pairs of lined, flare, wool pants and wool cardigans and sweaters I purchased from there. I had some pants that lasted almost 10 years and I still have some of those merino wool sweaters, but towards the end the quality…

And the materials, I see a “silk” blouse on the website, and lo and behold when I look at the materials its all polyester. Lay off the god damned polyester and use real material. Seriously, how about making tops that aren’t see through polyester.

You know, I bought a romper for a vacation, and enjoy it immensely, but that’s not what I want from BR. I want fucking v-neck sweaters and a-line skirts and they are not bringing any of that right now.

Seriously. I haven’t shopped there much since I stopped working in an office (I work from home, so sweats are it. I’m seriously fancy if I put on jeans, lol) but I went in before the holidays and was seriously thrown off by even how shoddy some of the garments looked from just hanging there on the racks. Like, if it…

I have no problem paying decent prices for quality, tailored, classic work clothing, but I have not been able to find that at BR for many, many years, so now Ann Taylor and Loft take all my money.

Yes! I still have some amazing, quality shift dresses that are PERFECT for work that I bought from Banana circa 2007. Add a more in-style shoe and some edgier jewelry, and you’re ready to go.

This. I just threw out a BR sweater I’ve had for 19 years. The old stuff was great quality! None of my more recent purchases have lasted more than a couple of seasons at best.

AT LAST. Banans Repubs used to be a reliable source of workplace basics for me but the last year has been a disaster of perforated leather sweatshirts and metallic jacquard rompers. Back to basics, pls.

Banana Republic has the same problem that J. Crew has. Part fit/style issues, but the main problem is that the quality has been steadily declining for over a decade and price points have stayed steady or increased (beyond normal inflation). No one wants to remain loyal to a store that keeps throwing crappily made…

I have seen some improvement, but I am not ready to rush out yet. I also hope they fix their sizing. Every shirt that I have bought from Banana in the last year has been HUGE.

I hesitate to be that commenter, but too late now: I really dislike the Jezebel vernacular that has the writers call any 40+ year old female celebrity Mom. I believe it is meant to be a respectful and affectionate expression, but it always strikes me as kind of belittling and dismissive. I worked with a great woman…

Why is this a thing with the kids of celebrities!? And what the fuck is wrong with adult men? If she can’t go to the bar with you without her mom SHE CAN’T DATE YOU. What the fuck. I’ve written this here before, but if any of my guy friends pulled this shit I would alert the police and not be their friend anymore.

I’ve seen and really don’t get this argument. My last name has been my last name from birth. Just like it was my father’s last name from birth. Is it more “his” last name than mine because he’s a man? Or because he’s older? It’s not “my father’s name”—it’s a whole bunch of “Keyser’s” (men and women) names. Including…

The prosecution fucked this one up. The women should have been told all of this way before the trial. That the women are now saying that they only learned about the power of “post-incident conduct” during the trial is a complete indictment of the failure of the prosecution. The prosecutors should have been sitting…
