I know someone who’s daughter did, recently. And it’s been WAR at their house. (“you can find a way to creep with a d-list celebrity but you can’t find a job?”)

It may be the wine talking but I feel like we have the makings of a fabulous “buy your out of state friend a drink” app here.

Are the CPAC people there lighting up Grindr yet?

My skin is brown
my manner is tough
I’ll kill the first mother I see
my life has been too rough
I’m awfully bitter these days
because my parents were slaves
What do they call me
My name is PEACHES

Bedrooms

they have a lot of cats. Norwegian Forest Cats. It’s actually very endearing.

I pushed back against your completely fucked up attempt to make “well of course I put baby powder on my genitals to keep them cool and fresh!” normative. I don’t care what you do to yourself, I’m just not guaranteed to sit idly by when you try to sell your own sad fucking head space as normal to other women.

No you’re right about the internal ecosystem, it’s meant to be a breeding zone, literally, so therefore fecund, and so therefore moist and warm.

In nursing school, I was taught against using cornstarch-based powder, because cornstarch feeds fungus, so cornstarch-based powders can promote fungal infections. In light of this news, I would avoid both kinds of powders (talcum and cornstarch).

“dry and cool” is the antithesis of the natural, healthy state of female genitalia. I’m not sure how to start to explain it to people who don’t understand that. All I can do is repeat — I blame the Confederacy. If we’d just been more resolute about Reconstruction....

To be clear, I’m talking about women applying baby powder to their genitals, not dealing with thigh or butt sweat. I’ve been explicit about that throughout my comments, but just in case anyone missed that, I’m repeating it.

I had to check your post history to make sure you are not a troll. Not sure how to break this to you, but the lady bits are not “cool and fresh” by nature. They are warm and MOIST and they have their own ecosystem and the last fucking thing you should do is start adding talcum powder to dry them out and give them that…

This is ten times worse than discovering that there are women who zealously defend wiping back to front. NOOOOOOOOOOOO. No I have not heard of adult women putting baby powder on their genitals as a matter of “hygiene.” That strikes me as completely insane and obviously a bad idea.

Also, his bedroom, complete with stained sheets on a floor mattress was DISGUSTING.

Peter is easily the best looking and most responsible. But I wouldn’t let him talk. There was one episode where he hit on one of the chicks (Vail? Man, where did she go? She only lasted like half a season...) and it was so awkward I literally had to pause and recover.

Who voted for Current-State Jax? You’re likely to end up with a sweaty, crimson-faced corpse pinning you to his futon.

I watch them all and my nickname for the bullshit feuds is “Game of Crones”. I do vastly prefer when they get along, though. It harkens back to the OC’s early days when it was more aspirational (in a very shallow way, of course.)

Um, I humbly submit Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Slaying Holofernes instead. WAY more misandry, especially given Artemisia’s biography.

I am a case manager for low income families. A lot of my clients have some trouble with family planning and regardless of the fact that some of them live off of less that a thousand dollars a month, continue having baby after baby. Do I think it’s right to keep bringing children into poverty? No. Do I keep my opinions…

Flaming June by Sir Frederic Leighton. I’ve wanted to be this painting since I was little. It’s in the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
