Yeah, me too. Except after I was done with racism (I'm black) in my 20's, I then got to continue on the merry-go-round ride of fatigue with ageism, feminism and then classism. I'm 42 now and I'm back to racism again. I feel like I don't have the luxury to say 'fuck it.' The isms keep following me.

3. A black bachelorette means makeup artists and stylists who know more than 'conventional,' if you get my meaning.

I'm thinking that, because this is a particularly inappropriate sexual slur directed toward a little girl makes it misogynistic. And, yes I believe that when a person is more a target for misogyny because they are a person of color, or young, then it also ageist and racist. It's yes/and not either/or. No ism is…

A fresh take on the controversial subject matter would have been to do everything else the same, but forfeit the black face - oh sorry - overly bronzed skin. A new twist on an over-used trick and then no one would have been slighted, but enjoyed just as much fascination! No? Fine.

You got dat.

Whoops, and yes you wear underwear under them.

You are exactly right! They can really be any length - tap pants, even. Here's what my Mommy likes. They are nice under dress pants, or anything, really, especially if you get chilly, but don't want thermals.

The combination of a slip and some static guard is the gift my mother gave me growing up as a child who preferred dresses/skirts to pants. I have a wardrobe of slips and camisoles. My mom even wears the slip-pants under every pant she owns, including jeans, and she swears all her clothes feel heavenly. Underslips…

Agreed. Love, love, love Soledad and her work, but this is no Chris Matthews dynamite.

Bwaaaahaaaa

Ryan's pious, holier-than-thou approach to rape policy is channelling an avalanche of bad karma his way. It can't be stopped.

Good look. Target has a comparable 3-step system for $15. Same size of everything.

Thank you for this piece. If I have to endure one more act of snobbery because I am 42, single and have no children, while others 'did it all on their own,' I'm going to puke. The insinuation is that I just could not be as experienced, devoted or sacrifice-y as a single mother. Cut me a break. Some of you have…

I'm proud of you for reaching out and asking for input! Been there and visit there often. Everyone has said everything I would suggest. Know this: you may feel lonely, but you are not alone...there are people here, including me, thinking of you and knowing you are taking steps toward managing your…

Honestly, I came *this* close to emailing you personally to say, "Thank YOU!" I got your back!

Or, you don't want to do more than the minimum in a relationship and with a woman like her, the bar might be low. Maybe you are a slacker or don't want to work hard?

I just want SOMEONE to admit that they think it: "At least I'm not HER." Plenty of folks find it more comfortable to be dismissive of the author's expression of feelings than to say, "Yeah, I do that." It's not about whether anyone 'cares' what anyone else is doing at the gym, really. It's about admitting that any…

I'm sorry, I am older then the target demographic for trends and fashion, but when are the 80's going to jump the shark? Let's get on to the 90's. At least then we can get back to black and gray everything.

Yes, yes and yes! I absolutely hear where you are coming from. As a matter of fact, my only nephew just signed up for Cub Scouts this year. When asked at school what he wanted to be involved in, Scouting was his only choice. He is on the Asperger's Spectrum, so we are thrilled that he loves his fellow scouts, the…
