This gets pretty specific into a fandom, but my husband and I are serious Futurama fans. In one episode, it’s revealed that Scruffy the Janitor and his trusty AI washbucket have a torrid unfulfilled romance. It’s my favorite scene from my favorite show, so I made a modeling clay topper for the groom’s cake. http://imgu…

I’m Chinese & my husband is Korean. To simplify things on our wedding weekend, we didn’t do any traditional Chinese or Korean wedding rites. But we gave a nod to both our individual heritages via our caketoppers: me in a traditional Chinese wedding garment, and he in a traditional Korean wedding garment:

We had a Frank Lloyd Wright Darwin Martin House Window inspired cake, that we topped with a nautilus shell (part of our wedding invitation was based on the golden spiral, which I also sport as a tattoo). Lucky for us, the gallery curator was amazing and worked really hard to do a group show of artists who were all…

we’re eloping in july to las vegas to get married, but having a reception in september... here

I get that we set impossible beauty standards for women, and that every inch of us needs to plucked, shaved, polished, bleached, dyed and painted to meet that ever-changing standard. But she’s a MODEL, who makes a living of promoting that standard.

Dieting. I can’t and don’t even try to do that shit.

The only way I could like you more is if you are actually Freddie Mercury.

Cheap Monday make really comfy high waisted jeans. I really like the stretch in American Apparel easy jeans too.

Typically on a Saturday night I would be drinking a bottle of wine while ordering take-out and eating it all. Sometimes around 11pm if I was feeling particularly sassy I’d go for round two and order a pizza. I’d be hating myself the whole time. Well, screw that. Today I tried on a dress whose dry cleaning tag told me…

You know, the thing I really appreciate about the Kardashians is that when the shit hits the fan, they close ranks and they support each other. When Kim was getting shit about sex tapes, when Kourtney was knocked up for the first time, when Khloe was going through all her troubles with Lamar Odom, they stood by each…

I wish i could know what Bruce has been going through but i can’t. As a cishet straight male, i had the benefit of having my body gender and the gender of my mind/heart/soul match up. No amount of empathy can make you feel what that is like. I couldn’t imagine what i must be like to go through life knowing that you…

I am so happy for him. Forty years ago, I was a little girl who wanted to be Bruce Jenner. I wish I had known how much he wanted to be more like me. He embodied strength and endurance, and still will. I am giddy with delight that he is open and getting to be accepted and loved for himself.

Portlander here. There is a perverse pride in being casually underdone: no makeup, jeans to the opera, comfy shoes instead of heels. I don’t think it typically comes from a “look how we are better than you” place though so much as, I think, giving ourselves permission and validation to be so comfortably lazy. Knowing…

If they would only consider makeup the same way they do tattoos (ooo, maybe they’re covering their skin problems with all their tattoos!)...plus these are the white Portland arriviste types who didn’t grow up there and all live in certain neighborhoods. Non-white folks in Portland wear makeup when they’re getting…

Jadine said it was because she did not put a moisturizer with sunscreen on before the foundation, which was the number one reason makeup can feel heavy.

If 6 of 18 women were raped in your class that suggests a serious problem in the way Peace Corps operates. You are letting them off too lightly here I think. It’s obvious that the locals know that you are not protected. Peace Corps should be kicking it Roman style. Instead they are abandoning you guys. Disgraceful.

Also, all our American flags are mass-produced overseas.

Here’s a puzzler: who’s a bigger try-hard, Madonna or Miley?

I likely could've been talked into marrying a platypus.

please for the love of hair never ever ever touch the pantene EVER EVER AGAIN.
