Where’s the “Doesn’t matter; had sex” option for preferences on partners’ pubes?

I am such a mixed bag as far as cultural influences and heritages and nationalities in my background, yet far enough removed from them, that I don’t know the answer to that. My mom made me go full Pakistani/fundie Muslim with my wedding reception, which I played along with since my parents paid for everything.

Now playing

I was expecting to roll my eyes much more than I did. I am disappoint.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. It used to be more broken down by regional, religious, caste, etc. differences, and some patterns along those lines are still discernible, but it’s not as cut-and-dry anymore.

That is amazingly beautiful.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

I’m having uncomfortable flashbacks to that time I made the mistake of debating a raging homophobe and he had the gall to smugly cut me off in the middle of a sentence with “You mean LGBTQIA. That’s what they say these days when they want to be politically correct”.... when I was making a point about gay and lesbian

Nope. The stricter parts of my Muslim Indian family don’t have music, let alone dancing, at their weddings. They believe you have to start a couple off on the path of Allah, which to them includes nothing so sinful and self-indulgent as music and dancing.

Instead of booking a DJ and cutting the cake and forcing their guests to watch their first dance

My point was not that American culture is bits and pieces of other cultures. My point is that there is not a single “American” culture, and to cast your particular experience as the “American” one is to ignore the multiple cultures that exist within this large and diverse country.

I’m glad you’ve chosen what works for you personally. I’ve done the same with certain aspects of my upbringing (cultural and religious).

The first girl looks and me and—completely seriously—says, “Boneless wings? What’s the difference?”

You do have culture. It’s invisible to you, though, because it’s the default white American culture. And there are expectations. Small example: When someone asks you how you are doing, you’re supposed to say “Fine, and how are you?” even if you are not fine and even if you don’t give a single tiny turd of a shit about

My lips are too pinkish and pigmented for most nudes, so that’s my problem. My “nude” is MAC’s Taupe.

Last year’s nude lipstick was boring as fuck, agreed. I did like the mascara, though. Mini mascaras that I didn’t pay for, always and forever.

It’s really a habituation thing. I’ve only recently gotten into bold eyeshadow, and it takes a while to get used to looking at yourself like that as well as develop the skills to apply the cooler looks.

Plus, Cruella is one of the two you get free for your Sephora birthday gift.

It’s super common for people in my parents’ generation of Indian immigrants to have wedding videos. It’s a way to capture the what the whole extended family looked and sounded like at a particular moment in time. We “kids” (as in the children of that generation) sometimes watch them for the vintage, ahem, “fashion”.

As part of a cat fostering couple that is on our second round with a problem child of a kitty, this made me smile. I cried when we adopted out our momma cat and her three kittens, but it felt good to know we’d done such a good job of socializing them and also that I could tell their forever families all about their

Tip: If a makeup artist has an airbrushing kit, you’re probably in luck if you have a hard-to-match skin tone and/or undertone. That application method is super customizable.
