She's lovely, but I guess I've seen a lot of her photoshoots.

This is Cary Mulligan bothers me—She only has one expression! Especially in her modeling. It's always open-mouthed ingenue. Smile or look angry or SOMETHING.

This seems like a good time to ask for sports bra recommendations. Any good brands that aren't ridiculously expensive that I should look at? I haven't owned a sports bra before...I know...but they're 34b so I figured why bother, until I started working out more recently and reconsidered.

Wow, very striking....seriously? We need more women researchers. It's like if most of the researchers were women and they figured out that balls are sensitive, especially if you sit the wrong way.

The asian girlfriend was weird too. She doesn't seem able to communicate with him. "Yes, babyyy?" "Gooooaat?" It was just random to me.

I have done what you described. I hear it's called the "Miss Manners" approach on the Hollaback site. That is sort of the approach I took telling someone politely that their behavior was disrespectful, and he seemed to feel embarrassed and apologized within a matter of minutes. Unfortunately this can happen when

I was also reading this half awake at 7:45 a.m. so I wasn't responding in the most respectful way. Sometimes I calmly tell them that women don't appreciate this kind of thing because I'm worried that a fuck you will engage them and I want to get away, usually. It's tough when they're kind of burly and moving their

See my response to your other post. Street harassment doesn't work that way! I didn't chose to be around these strangers! GAH.

No, I said to the person that replied to me that it was the right response but to HER it might sound like ignoring. I know he wasn't ignoring me and thought it was a sweet response. And "don't hang around creeps"? What?? You think I chose to hang around creeps? You clearly don't know anything about street harassment.

I can't wait to start watching that show again. Francois Arnaud is the second reason and Holliday Grainger is my first. Why have I not seen him in anything else? At least she was in Bel Ami.

Yes, I totally explained it to him and for the reasons you gave. And he said, "Well are you okay with your outfit?...Well, okay then, that's all that matters." Which makes it sound like he was ignoring me but he did sympathize and I thought it was a better response than others I could have gotten. Unfortunately he had

Guilty plebe. I have Miss Dior on my nightstand.:-x

I think the attitude matters just as much as the clothes though. For instance I went on a date recently, feeling pretty hot in a Joan Holloway sort of way wearing a black clingy but classy dress, but the attention I got on my way there (not the 'Hey, you look nice!' kind) made me much more tense and self-conscious

I don't know but people who dress like individuals can intimidate people on occasion. Good luck with your sartorial choices.:-)

Probably not! Um, maybe you should go out with more porkpie hat-wearing redheads? It's nice to see men occasionally deal with this issue though. I don't want to dress up too much for fear of looking "high-maintenance" or like I'm trying too hard, even though I would dress like that with my girlfriends. I think there

With communication like that, I surprised he got a date with you at all. Sheesh. They always reveal themselves in person I guess.

lol okay, well we can all have our dislikes with men's attire but my point is that no one should try to dictate others' fashion choices. And plenty of men say they like one thing and appreciate another anyway. I dated someone who said I didn't need to wear heels or makeup for him, like that silly. But did he ever

There are lots of things that men PREFER but there are lots of things I PREFER that men don't do, so frankly, screw that. When men start wearing skinny ties and wingtip shoes to dates, or in my view, actually make an effort, then maybe I'll freeze my ass off in the colder winter months. Personally I love skirts and

They are sexy. But anyone who tells me to wear a skirt when it's less than 50 something degrees out can shove all that sexiness up his ass. Unless he knows what it's like to dress for May in January, he should stay quiet on the subject.

I had a co-worker like that and it was so disgusting that I left for lunch and hoped he would be done by the time I came back. I almost had a conversation with him about it. And no one else was really on that floor so I felt like I was the only one who was aware of it! Didn't anyone teach these people how to eat?
