Why can't they just take vacations? Can't they tell they are being really lamely marketed to?

@femme-bot: I am not sure why I even read this entire thread, but the word 'servant,' means either one who is privately employed, or publicly employed but it is paid. You might be thinking of the part of the word which connotes subservience, but it is still paid.

That picture is beautiful, but I can't tell what is going on with Lima's hair. Is it weirdly pixelated? Is that a photoshop disaster?

@T. L. Morgendorffer: Yeah it was. That is okay though - the second anecdote clarified your story a bit. I was confused at first - because a dad not wanting his daughter to conform to gender norms at first, actually sounds kind of rad.

@T. L. Morgendorffer: I'm confused - your dad is having gender issues because he didn't want you to fully shave your legs yet?

My question: I don't really stick with a deodorant that I will buy everytime - sometimes I go to really small stores to get some when I run out. But, I have noticed that there are a few brands that I am completely allergic to (they tend to basically feel as though they have torn off the top layer of my skin, etc)…

@Alohamaid: So true! I was the last of four and have barely any baby photos whatsoever. The best I could hope for were gymnastics photos when I was a bit older.

@water baby: Completely true. My parents were so much more strict with my oldest sister, and by the time I (accidentally) came around, everything had been relaxed.

@MareCrisium: It was kind of hilarious because my bedroom faced onto the street, so there is a very good chance that my neighbours could see someone jumping in and out. But I had a bunk bed and put sheets around it, so from inside of the house no one could tell.

@MareCrisium: I had that set-up too, but it was to sneak my high-school boyfriend in through my window for makeouts.

@bun: I put in my vagina dentures. (tried desperately to make that into vagina dentatures, but the flow wasn't great)

@Sin DeRolla: This was awesome - sad no one else has commented on that.

@DaisyGamble: Yeah, I want sex more than my partner, and it has been this way for our entire relationship.

Now I know that I am definitely not the norm here, but a lot of people down the thread have discussed the fact that this woman is still growing at age 18. A lot of people claim that women stop growing at around 14 or 15.

@spiraloflife: Is she wearing an Ed Hardy hat or something? Shudder...

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: Yeah it is hard to look at this like it is all her incentive when she has a staff of tens or perhaps even hundreds of various handlers that focus group and screen her various dances/costumes/etc.

@agirlnamedstewart: Probably that the parents could learn a lesson though....although the kids need to learn some as well.

I have come to the conclusion that Mackenzie is the Snookie of the pageant world.

@LolaLane: YES!

@Sock.Hop: Yeah that girl didn't look at all like how I pictured knives...
