And then ONE day when Aretha pops by your house to borrow a cup of sugar when you aren't expecting her, she hears you singing to yourself while you're baking some cookies and she instantly realises, you've got an amazing voice! Cut to a vocal boot camp/makeover montage and voila you are a star. Million dollar…

Right? Sometimes I like to dream that Aretha and I are neighbors. One day I help her use her computer; after that, she takes a shine to me. We become friends and hang out on her porch on Wednesday evenings drinking mojitos. She introduces me to amazing soul songs I've never heard of and tells me funny stories about…

in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, the baby princess is named Aurora. After Maleficent curses her, the good fairies take her to hide out in the forest and re-name her Briar Rose.

Wow, you guys really do read your tips emails! Lol I am the eagle-eyed reader. My friend used to work for this department and the memo was making the rounds on her mailing list from the public records. She sent it to our work alias too and we were all flabbergasted. I do sort of want to turn into a battleaxe tho...

I hope the young, pretty overqualified lass who undoubtedly typed this for Mr. Taysom had the good sense and foresight to poison his coffee.

I'd mellow with age too, if I had someone efficiently running my household and handling the details of all my entertaining for me.

this did the rounds in the Australian government (where I work) earlier this year and I printed it out and stuck it on my desk as ~inspiration~

It's not like spinsters have to eat. They can nourish themselves off their rage.

Jesus Christ, Australian minister dude, it's Australia. A country where everything can kill you. You WANT people with high weapons stats, dammit. How else will you fight off a horde of dropbears?

You are awesome for doing that!

Thankyou. I have been following closely the work done by the members of Destroy the Joint (and have sent some emails myself, mainly to Hon. Scott Morrison in regards to Blanc violating VISA laws). Like I said, I know that Li has done much to put and end to the Blanc bullshit parade and for that we're all thankful, but…

Destroy The Joint, which is an Australian based group, is actually doing amazing work in regards to having venues cancel Blanc's seminars. I argue that it is not solely the work of Jenn Li and I wish to have this rectified. Please view Destroy The Joint's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/DestroyTheJoin…. Whilst…

"One attendee climbed off the boat briefly and yelled: “I’ll see you in hell, feminists ... Long live men.”"

Blanc is an enormous dickhead, even by the standards of the pickup artist field, a field that's crowded with dickheads, a field that is really more dick than field.

I sorta agree with Gretchen - except she wouldn't be the boss of Toaster Strudel, her husband would be. That would be why Jason married her in the first place. He had hoped to be a big time lawyer, but didn't have the grades for law school so he took his next best option.

I disagree with McAdams. I think Regina George would have a high powered job in law or finance or marketing. That girl was smart.

It's kind of an issue that Tina Fey looks younger than Lindsay.
