Well, you’re sweet to say so. :) But I should clarify that, to me, those words will always sound sexual. Like...semen.

Nope. Don’t be sorry. I read it that way, too, and that’s exactly why I don’t like it.

I don’t like monograms because I hate the way my initials look/sound when I read them in my head: CMN. It sounds like someone trying to say “come on” with no vowels.

Are you a fellow #BFFer? I thought there might be some of us in the comments! (I’m Michaela, by the way, in case you want to find me).

As someone mentioned in another thread, Modcloth is better...ish.

Ugh, she’s coming to speak in my city soon, and, in this Facebook group of young professional women in the area that I’m a part of, a lot of people have been talking about going to see her.

Chills.

It doesn’t surprise me that people turn into dicks when they’re members--the fear of ostracization and subsequent organized stalking/life-ruining if you step out of line (or if you even remain in contact with friends…

Lol, ok...thanks for the totally unnecessary boner update.

You mean...the Raiders? That’s the name of the “Oakland football team.”

Agreed. Also, their sound isn’t going to get old soon--it already is. Once something reaches the top of the charts, it’s definitely no longer a “current” thing. Their style is honestly very late 2014/early 2015 to me (and I realize how much of a jackass I sound like saying that, haha).
