As a speech language pathologist I applaud your editing.

This person seems to have a ton of faith in your average jury pool. He/she has clearly never sat through jury duty.

That’d be like me getting “expert” testimony from the Ancient Aliens guy on why extra terrestrials forced me to commit tax fraud. It would only bias dumb, but well meaning jury members.

I don’t have sympathy because, at the very minimum, her professional codes should have been enough. You don’t sleep with your clients, and you don’t sleep with people who cannot truly consent, her delusions notwithstanding.

Four bottles for $15, WHAT?! I just looked at the Deals section of Zoya.com but it must not be available anymore. That’s amazing! What colors did you choose?

I thought you nailed it?

Zoya is the damn business. I just ordered four more with their current promo of four polishes plus shipping for $15, and they should be here tomorrow. wooooo!

Came here to shill for ZOYA. Essie has never worked on me.

You mean Sephora’s house brand Formula X? I’ve got half a dozen or so — a couple of them are pretty good and some not so much. I’ve got two very similar textured glitters; one’s great, the other chips like a motherfucker. Also have a red cream that’s inexplicably gluey and stainy and all-round difficult to work with.…

Yep. It’s overpriced crap. Every Essie I’ve ever bought — about ten shades in a variety of finishes — either chips immediately, takes a billion coats to get opaque, or is a streaky mess. OPI is similarly unimpressive. :\

I’m with you, I find it goes on streaky and needs three coats to really get coverage. I only bought it because I couldn’t resist a sparkly teal polish called “Trophy Wife”.

I used to be able to lift this kind of haul, but when I tried the other day I got caught. Guess i need to polish up on my shoplifting skills.

Um, ALSO when am I going to get my beauty side site back? I never get to talk about beauty shit anymore. I miss Jane. Jane would have done me like this.

Essie is good-ass nail polish, and comes in good-ass colors!

I’ve been a true blue Essie devotee for a while now, but I got a Factor X System set for christmas, and I have to say: it lasts longer than Essie. It bends with your nail, which is weird, but is probably also why it doesn’t chip. Definitely doesn’t last 2 weeks like people say, but probably a solid week with…

Depends on which country you’re talking about. Women had the vote in New Zealand in 1892.

Moving the setting to WWI also greatly impacts the status of women’s rights. During WWI women couldn’t even vote yet and were definitely far less liberated than a couple of decades later. This is basically the same territory as the early seasons of Downton Abbey.

Let’s not delude ourselves. The only reason this is set during WWI is to differentiate from Captain America. If you really think there was a meticulous deliberation at WB/DC over reframing the origin setting in order to better nuance the character, I have a bridge to sell you.
