Right. Dyed hair with wrinkly skin looks older than gray hair with baby skin. Anyone can go gray at any age, but damn, do those forehead wrinkles age you instantly.

I learned that the hard way too. I started getting grays during grad school and have a flush that are trying to make a Sontag streak but aren’t quite there now at 34. I’ve just decided to leave them be and work on trying to prevent as many wrinkles as possible.

Ha! Some of my other military brat friends also have exact same dads. It’s kind of funny, but also a little sad.

Ted Cruz’s suits and coats just crack me up. My dad spent 26 years in Air Force uniforms, had trouble adjusting to civilian business casual,and wears dad jeans, but he still manages to get his dress clothes tailored and buy trench coats that fit. There shouldn’t be room for two people in your clothes.

His face is definitely angled up. It’s not as noticeable when he’s like moving and talking, but he looks so alien in still photographs.

Yes! I try to casually expose my kid to lots of badass women to help him get the picture that women are just as equally good at whatever is going on. I haven’t noticed him ever saying anything stupidly biased towards men, but I’m sure he hears it a lot at school around other boys.

Dude! The curl hate is so strange. I don’t know who her clients are, but all of my significant others have loved my curly hair. I’ve never had a relationship end because my hair is huge, bouncy and luscious curls. I’ve been happily married for 10 years now and never once had to straighten my hair to get him to commit,…

Ha! Well it was six years total if you add in my MA. Ten years out, I’m not sure I could be paid enough to go back for a PhD. And I work in higher ed now.

I did step aerobics first thing in the morning, twice a week, for several years in college. It was fantastic fun. I would show up hungover, sometimes still drunk or high, and by the end of the class, be miraculously ready for the day. Or at least a shower. Aerobics is the best.

The 90s were awful for this. There were about three girls and me in my high school class who kept their hair curly in a sea of stick straight hair. I never saw anything in fashion magazines geared toward curly hair styles.

I was totally cringing while watching that too! Those elastics were way too tight.

This totally makes sense because magic used for personal gain always has unintended consequences. I learned that from Charmed.

Oh my god, yes! No one else remembers that show. It was so great.

This is why you stay in school, kids! People spend years accumulating degrees in the sciences and working countless hours of their lives away in labs in order to do science correctly.

Seriously, the unwelcome physical contact while pregnant was unbearable. My pregnant body was not open for communal fondling.

I’m going to go with Tim Gunn’s professional advice: If you have to ask whether it is a shirt or a dress, it’s a shirt.

They’re like Data when he learned to laugh.

I feel like that’s still not settled. Maybe they are sophisticated robots made to look like they need air?

That catalog cover is perfect!

As much as he would be a good Bond, I really need Poldark more. Hours and hours of Poldark.
