People keep saying she is a good lyricist, but I don’t get it. I’ve listened to some of her songs and they are catchy, but nothing earth shattering. I need someone to explain it to me.

God I hate super fans. So I don’t want this to be lost. Having a Vogue Profiler come to profile YOU at someone else’s wedding is beyond narcissistic - it’s tacky and déclassé. Which describes Swift perfectly.

Haha I think there’s a tacit agreement between all of my family members that on her wedding day, we are all going to go up to her at separate times and repeat the very same statement to her. I’m looking forward to it.

Right, and I think this falls under the general wedding etiquette umbrella of “if you have to ask, maybe don’t do it” because the bride may feel pressured to allow something she doesn’t want. Like bringing an extra guest, wearing white, or turning her wedding into a photo shoot and interview for you.

Heh. I just used Rhianna as an example of a celebrity that I couldn’t relate to but still liked because she isn’t a c*nt face, and I didn’t even know about this!

This is worse than the time my sister (at fourteen, and one of the bridal party) told my cousin “I know it’s your wedding day, but I look better than you do.”

it helps build the illusion (delusion) that you yourself aren’t far from celebrity status and all it implies, and also that these people could be your friends.

This is why Rihanna wins at everything. She was the maid of honor at her Manager’s wedding and didn’t make everything about her.

My mother complained that I never answered her calls or reacted to the voicemails she left on my mobile. I never got any notifications that she had called but she didn’t believe me/thought my phone was broken. One time when I had to fix her mobile (i.e. reverse the settings she had accidentally changed) I noticed that…

So he works from home and does none of the housework? What’s his excuse?

Yes. My husband got on me for not working out. So I wrote out his schedule: get up at 7, sit on toilet for 25 minutes, stretch for 15 minutes, jog 45 minutes, cool down 20 minutes, shower for 30 minutes, eat cereal. Log into computer at 9(works from home) Logoff at 5. Day is finished. Go to gym for an hour.

For someone who was preaching HORMONES earlier, you don’t seem to understand post partum depression, or depression at all, for that matter. Depressed? Just move! Oh fuck! WHY DIDN’T ANYONE EVER THINK OF THAT!??!?! Ladies and gents, TightBunsMagillicutty just found the cure for depression.

All kidding aside, you seem…

This is something I was explaining to a man the other day. He’d written a blog about how “if you’re not fit, you’re making excuses.”

Good for these women if this is what they enjoy, but I do worry about the message it sends. Besides the obvious body image issues this fixation on being SO FIT throughout pregnancy can cause for some people, it’s also interesting that most of these ladies seem to have the money for gym memberships and at-home exercise…

I mean, this is where I’m at NOW. My kids are older. When I had a toddler and a newborn and slept pretty much not at all (my second kid was MEAN) my priorities were feed everyone, clean everyone, keep everyone alive. Sometimes you do just have to check out for a bit and slog through until things get better. Sometimes…

I’ve known women who have barely shown pretty much all through their entire pregnancy, and others who basically popped as soon as they were pregnant. I think it just varies, and not even depending on fitness levels

Here’s what 39 weeks looked like for her. She posted weekly photos all the way.

I realised I didn’t need an “excuse” when it clicked that when you’re depressed, exhausted, and chronically undernourished while nursing around the clock, a half hour HIIT sesh during naptime (when I desperately need a nap myself) ain’t gonna do shit in comparison to just treating myself with some kindness. Moms, be…

I found the limit on stroller workouts when I tried to join a group at the park with my newborn and 2 year old. 2 year old said no. Now at 4 and 6 they like to work out alongside me, but they don’t want to be weights.
