Can we talk about how this model is wearing a long sleeve top? This is the most shocking image out of them all to me. It's like maybe they thought a woman who wasn't falling out of her swimsuit could still be sexy!

I love Julia Roberts' outfit. Like, there is no reason I should like an oxford blouse under a velvet trumpet dress with a diamond belt. BUT I DO!

They could certainly offer her a decent finder's fee.

I want to learn to knit this year so if there is no time wasted doing decoupage, maybe there will be some lessons on what the hell a purl is.

Re: #3, you know I'm going to start petitioning you to take up the fine artisan craft of knitting...

I've got no advice because the same thing happens to me every year, but I feel your pain. I finally got my mom to stop sending gifts altogether (I don't celebrate, and yet she tells me authoritatively every year that I "like getting things").

This happened to me, in an odd way. The super's wife (we live in a co-op building with live in service) ran into me about two months after I moved in. My husband's family owns the co-op. As I petted her dog, she says to me, "I haven't seen you around, do you work in the building?"

Make a garlic aioli to go with them! Is there vegan aioli? I apologize if not for putting that delicious but verboten idea in your head.

Nobody spackles on makeup like the artists at the CMA's. I love it.

We've caught him red-handed, boss. He's gone fishing. THAT SCUMBAG

Hormone-wise, my pregnant best girlfriend once woke her husband up at 3 am to: 1) put together a written plan in case the pipes froze (It was July) and; 2)brush his teeth because she didn't think he had and "gum disease, over time, puts more pressure on the heart and do you want our child fatherless?!"

I know a guy with the formal given name of Dannie. I enjoy when people try to call him Daniel to be formal.
