On a much smaller scale, I had to deal with just this. A girl from my high school’s parents donated a scholarship to my university and I was the beneficiary. I knew them. I was so embarrassed, I didn’t go to the special dinner the school had to bring donors and recipients together. Also, I had to work and didn’t have…

These are all pretty petty and tame. Maybe she didn’t talk to the guy at school because he was a creeper. Those exist.

Oh yeah, no way is 50 giant books each with giant cardboard pages too many for one small apartment with a single bookshelf. PLEASE GIVE NINETY HUNDRED MORE.

How many times has this woman probably already said that? Hence, this email.

It sounds like this only went out to the child’s grandparents and immediate family. Obviously things like that need to be said because one of those assholes leaked this. It’s not like she sent it to a group of friends or strangers. My money’s on the mother-in-law.

I’ve been here all of three months, but you hit the nail on the head with everything revolving kids education and house parties. We got on the class list and no joke, every single weekend there’s a parent-hosted kids birthday party. One weekend there were three. It gets to be too much, but yes, to your point, that’s…

Also in L.A. in a cashmere sweater in April.

You have an interesting take on the wealth of Los Angeles. I’m new here from the midwest and what strikes me is how people don’t actually wear their money as much. This soft t-shirt and sneakers business is nothing compared to the north shore of Chicago where you *will* wear a Rolex or else. L.A. money isn’t as…

If you think you might need a note, just get one. I was five months pregnant flying to Italy for a week and I knew I'd need that note to get back. Lo, the airline on the Italian side thought I was about to give birth any second because I was so colossally large. I whipped out my note and trotted my big belly on the…

Jim Bob is so pervy.

1. I said this was a problem with the companies and industry who already present unrealistic ideals.

It's very easy to throw "transphobia" at anyone who wants to discuss issues surrounding trans acceptance.

Logical fallacy - where? Trans women begin life as male humans. That is a fact. Stereotyping - of what? The beauty industry's already enormous divide between what their customers look like and the ideals they…

Incorrect. I have met and hung out with several trans people. The truth is trans women, in spite of their hearts and mind set, begin with male bodies. That's what transitioning is. That's the whole concept.

I support trans people and hope they are accepted and integrated into the framework of daily life. It bugs me that several women's brands have hired trans women as models though, not because of any judgement on the model, but because women's fashion has held women to an androgynous body type standard enough. Look at…

I dated someone once who didn't know the secret single behaviors stop when you're around other people. He licked a plate in front of me. At a restaurant.

Although . . . technically silk is worm spit.

Me too! I'm not a big a deal whatsoever and I married my third proposal. I actually said yes to the first one, but when he was like, "so, are we like, engaged!" all dreamy, I had to back peddle. The second one gave me a diamond solitaire over a speech about being together forever but stumbled over actually asking.…

A man glorifies statutory rape and we walk away . . . cheering about woman being called a slut. WHAT IS HAPPENING? This is the FEMINIST site. Why the fuck do I even go here anymore?

It seems kind of weird to spite the dead guy's wishes. He made the font and he wanted to kill the font. Why risk getting haunted? No thanks.

Is there something wrong with me that I can't even enjoy them on Taco Bell 4th meal level? I got like 20 pages in and just couldn't. You make a convincing case though - maybe I'll try again. I also don't understand the appeal of Red Vines.
