The Cialis only lasts so long...

Heathen. That’s an act that’s meant to be savored.

I was eight when Star Wars came out. My father took us to see it that summer while I was visiting his house, which I hated because his step kids were so mean. Carrie Fischer as Leia was everything to me- proof that I could be strong as a girl, that I could survive even if I lost my family, that I could believe in a…

I’ve been wanting to check out her new book since announced. I picked it up yesterday at Costco and a guy in the aisle said, “Oh, trying to read the final chapter, eh?” “Let’s hope not.”

As with Robin Williams, Carrie Fisher seemed so totally herself that I do feel I know her. Both she and Robin were huge influences on me as a kid—I adored Leia, and I was watching Robin’s stand-up way, way before it was age-appropriate for me to do so. I’ve read all of her books, I’ve seen all of her movies, I’ve seen…

When some people die, it’s sad but you think okay, it sucks, but maybe they were old or miserable or it was their time. Carrie Fisher, it’s just seems too fucking soon. She still had amazing, hilarious, helpful, and meaningful things to say. I STILL WANT TO HEAR THEM. She was like my close flawed and wonderful…

I’m an addict too and it’s always helpful to hear about the struggle from someone who doesn’t look like Gary Busey’s mugshot and who makes cultural contributions that don’t necessarily have anything to do with addiction. She was a good human.

Wow...it’s so incredible to watch her as a young woman. You can tell that even as she’s not entirely comfortable being in the spotlight in such a way, she can’t help the trademark sass.

ROSE: I don’t understand addiction.

One of the things I liked about TFA is that at no point did they sexualize Rey, who is obviously played by an attractive woman. Like to think Carrie Fisher had some kind of influence on that.

This is a GREAT sendoff article Lindsey. I have been reading Carries various books since they started coming out and I have really been floored by how upfront she is about her life, her issues and her decisions. The humor she approaches them with is what makes her a really special person - much more so than her role…

This scene shows what made Leia different. She wasn’t just a sex symbol waiting to be saved, then giving it up to the man who saved her. Han was the one in prison, the object to be looked at. Leia went in and risked her life to save him. Then, when someone tried to make her an object, she killed them. That was…

Hell, if they only think of Carrie Fisher in terms of that bikini then they don’t know her at all..
