MTE! I love a good man-sweater.

I've never watched that show, but now I have a reason to >.>

I wouldn't wear that print, but I love the silhouette of the dress on her, and those shoes are fantastic. She looks healthy and happy, and it's nice to see her in something that isn't a sleek black dress.

Yeah, requests can be a real pain in the ass at strip clubs. You have very rigid blocks of time for each dancer, and for the gaps between dancers. The dancers already know what they want to dance to, so that's really only the between-sets songs that would work anyway. It's doable, just not preferable.

Yeah, from Glenn Beck of all people. I'm flabbergasted.

I used to DJ in a strip club, and the rule was "fade it out at five", meaning that if a song was longer than five minutes, drop the volume and start the next track. I'd be surprised if that wasn't fairly universal—shorter songs = more money, so his Metallica suggestion may be wishful thinking :P

The only time I gave myself a really drastic haircut due to emotional turmoil was when my mom died, but that was in large part because I'd been growing my hair out for her for several years, in case the chemo made her hair fall out and she wanted a wig. After her death, I didn't really want anyone else to have it, and…

That's where my mind went, too, but that hat is so 101-era that I've got "Never Let Me Down Again" stuck in my head instead.

This bird makes me laugh every time.

I could never pull off that blue. Stunning.

If you take care of yourself, eat right, exercise, attend to your physical well-being with regular doctor's visits,

Having a chunk of your arm missing just above the elbow? NEW FALL TREND.

All I can think of is how much colour paste that cake would require, to get that black a black. "I had to tack on an extra $40 to the price so I could special-order a tub of black paste..."

As we used to say, "What a heat score."

They really do...it's weird. It makes me want to fire up my audio editing software and make it so that Katy Perry is doing backup vocals for Sara Bareilles >.>

Goddamn, I <3 Chuck D.

It sounds a bit odd, but there are actually registered massage therapists who specialize in treating vaginismus, if that's what you're dealing with.

I'm 5'3" as well, and apparently my husband had a giant baby-head, but I'm holding out hope that my wide hips will offset some of that.

I think I was average size/weight by late 70s standards; it seems like the averages have bumped up since then.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs, if you want 'em.
