Think how polished Valentina was with so little experience, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with. But if they keep the voting system from last season it will not do her any favors.

Dream top 3 = Latrice, Monet, Monique.

My fucking dad is so bad at celebrity sightings. I was walking with him to my brother’s graduation ceremony, talking away about something, clearly not paying attention to people walking by. At some point my dad interrupts to say “that was Dustin Hoffman who walked by just now.” Daaaaad, you have to signal a celebrity…

When I lived in Boston during the 2004 DNC there were a ton of celebrities about. I saw Larry King walk alone, looking super cranky, a friend saw Ben Affleck. At work at a kid’s bookstore a coworker mentioned that they had seen Cynthia Nixon at a local burger place. I hadn’t heard so I asked them to clarify, but they…

My sentiment exactly. Can you IMAGINE the fits we would have seen on the right (which honestly would have been deserved, this is outrageous) if Michelle Obama had had a hotel stay that cost taxpayers this much?!? For 6 measly hours?!? 

No joke. If I had multiple sisters and they told me to get crazy skinny and toned for Halloween so we could all parade around in white undies together I would tell them to fuck off.

I sometimes forget that Beyoncé and I are roughly the same age, but I also remember thinking as a kid that Florence Griffith Joyner was so glamorous and cool.

We recently attended a Halloween party that we thought was a costume party. And it was... for kids. Once I got over the mortification of being in a fake fur dress with rubber human feet on, it was actually pretty liberating. Like behold, motherfuckers, a woman who gives no fucks!

I stepped away from reading Dirt Bag then came back and had forgotten about the Don McLean item, it took me a LOT of comments before I realized people weren’t grossed out about the Taylor Lautner - Tay relationship. I should probably go to bed.

I love a good portmanteau, I’ve already described your costume to so many people IRL. Also, your face tats looked way better than a lot of the folks I saw Saturday night using face stickers.

I love that Nina Dobrev went with a silly word play costume and not some “Look-at-me-I’m-hawt” thirst costume.

“Don’t worry,” my partner said, “even though they’re playing the Dodgers the games will all begin at 8pm eastern,” he said, “so we won’t be up late watching west coast games,” he said. Stayed up till 2:30 am and my toddler does not care.

That’s awesome! Does she play tennis herself? My dad went as Mr. T for Halloween in Alabama in 1985 and he knew not to wear blackface, and he’s way older than Meghan KKKelly.

I was just at the Motown Museum today, marveling at all the iconic looks from the Supremes, especially Ms. Ross. If you need blackface to convey to someone who you are going as then you have a shitty costume.

I worked there a year and a half. But I never stayed alone after hours ever again.

Did you know that this fucking goddess sang Buffalo Stance live while pregnant?!? Amazing:

This is terrifying. Also for the first five sentences I was wondering “is this a former roommate of mine?” Oh, renting in Boston!

That’s good to know. I don’t normally really get into short stories but my partner and I have been reading H.P. Lovecraft stories to one another (in preparation for reading, and then watching, Lovecraft Country) and I’m getting into the format of a little nugget of a tale. Adding this to my reading list!

I am such a masochist that I want to check this out for bedtime reading despite the fact that I’m an insomniac scaredy-cat. Reading the Jezebel scary stories have me so on edge that last night after I brushed my teeth I heard a scratching sound from the wall and nearly leapt out of my skin. It was the radiator turning…

Why on earth would she return the ring to him when there is no way on earth she didn’t pay for it herself? *shrugs*
