I thought Brooke Shields was the Gerber baby?

@lurkystars: hehe

Everytime I see one of those uber-model posey poses I think, "ouch." My lower back aches just looking at that overly-thrust out pelvis.

I loved Aretha's hat!!! It was very Aretha-ish.

What? No "here's where you go for a fake id" advice??

Geez, they look good together. Wonderful, wonderful.

Well, I guess I'm screwed.

I thought it was a great style and so different and eye-catching from the usual boring red carpet slick up-dos.

I don't use Facebook (I'm still clinging to MySpace) but I can see where some people would take comfort in visiting the page of someone who's no longer here. My youngest brother died in 1984, way before there was anything like MySpace or Facebook or the internet. If he'd had these advantages, I'd still be visiting…

@Scout: No, I don't believe everyone matures at the same rate. That's one more reason why adults, who have had many more years to mature and grow, should be held to a higher standard of responsibility and personal accountability.

@Scout: The number matters because the age matters. We don't let kids drive until they're 16. Hell, 16 is just a number. Why not 15? Well, 15 is just a number, let's go ahead and let them drive at 14. Etc. Etc. Etc.

@formergr: You're right. In some states, 16 gets you out of legal, statutory rape territory.

Yet another player in the memories from my youth - gone.

@jollydolly: No, he was 17 and you were almost 30. Which means, no matter how 'mature' he was, he was a child. And you were an adult.

@prestocaro wants to be your cheap virtual assistant: Believe it or not, there was a similar storyline on "House" (last year? two years ago? I forget).

@prestocaro wants to be your cheap virtual assistant:

"it's not as stark a power dynamic or so clear a case of exploitation."

This show pales in comparison to the one with the rocker looking for love 'mongst the skanks, and that show seems to get lots of love around here.

I'm not a fan of reality shows, but I got suckered into this one and I'm ashamed to admit that I gotta watch. I even have my own pet names for the contestants - Bitch, Skipper, Cabana Boy, etc.

@StarSquid: See? Mom is always right.
