I'm with you...as far as i know my mom still holds the record for giving birth to the largest set of twins ever recorded in my hometown (my brothers were 8 pounds 10 ounces and 9 pounds 11 ounces) and despite being nearly 6 feet and fairly large framed myself, when it comes time for me to have babies, I'm taking the…

As far as I know, there's only one other person in the US with my name, and she coincidentally happens to live in the suburbs of the same city I used to live in and share many of my interests. When my mother discovered Google, I received a very angry phone call demanding to know why I hadn't invited her to any of my…

It's Laura Bell Bundy, not Lauren.

Come on, this is NH...severed deer parts are standard home decor!

It doesn't even really sound to me like modesty. It's perfectly reasonable that he could accept the fact that he's incredibly good looking now while still feeling strange about it after having spent much of his youth feeling goofy. Based on my own personal experience as someone who was overweight, bespectacled, and…

My younger brother announced his (since called-off) engagement on Facebook before telling me and I was positively irate. Irrational, maybe, but dude...I'm your SISTER!

I would imagine that's the case. And don't worry, I'm sure you will find it to your liking, fashion-wise and otherwise...I lived on the east coast for years and have spent lots of time in many other major cities and I strongly believe it's the greatest, most fun city in the US, particularly for the mid 20s-30s…

Oh, I do own a North Face, as do the majority of the people I know. We just don't wear them as our primary outerwear, as some folks would have you believe.

You know, Danielle Steel, I really think that the idea that San Franciscans aren't fashionable is nothing more than a persistent rumor. Before I moved here, everyone and their brother tried to convince me that this was the case, and that I would be running around the city in Salomons and a North Face before long, but…

I went to one in India and it was basically the same thing except instead of no bacon, it was no beef. All the burgers were veggie burgers!

I actually managed to enjoy Bride Wars by telling myself that it was actually a satire. In that light, it worked.

I have nothing to add to this but yum, brunch at Zuni. :-)

I have a couple of Hayden Harnetts that I'm extremely fond of...the leather ages really well and if you monitor their sale section (or check Craiglist for resales), you can often get them in the $150 range.

Sit and Spin? Best laundromat ever.

It is, in places, a little risque - there are a lot of adult stores and moderately explicit fliers posted advertising gay clubs, and there's a group of dudes who, on sunny days, like to sit out on Market Street buck naked. But this was in the middle of the day during the school week, and it sounds like the school and…

Agreed. Though I will say, I live just a couple of blocks north of the Castro, and my apartment is directly across from an elementary school, so clearly this isn't a problem for ALL parents.

If I'm going straight out after work I might use a bit of powder, but other than that, I'm totally flummoxed. Like, if you can't tell that you're wearing foundation, isn't that a good thing? I'm never had eyeshadow disappear on me in my life and I've worn it virtually every day since I was 14.

From reading all the comments below, I think this may be an unpopular opinion, but I really believe that wearing subtle, well-applied makeup is a huge asset in many fields, especially those that are traditionally male dominated.

For a warm-weather vacation, I normally just pack exclusively sundresses, including one or two that can be fancied up, and comfortable flat sandals in black and a neutral. Maybe a pair of cutoffs for the beach, but that's it.

This happened to me when I had some type of ayurvedic massage in India. While I didn't have anyone to compare notes with, it didn't bother me any. Whether or not it was cultural, it was relaxing, and I didn't feel violated.
