Ha! Teacup human. hearted.

Love Potion Number 9! Tate was huge in those days.

Ha! great reference.

I guess my point is that it would suck to become popular or famous because people think "oh that's cute. she's being precocious" as opposed to what she actually has to say. Hopefully with this girl, that's not the case, and she will keep a good head on her shoulders.

they have unisex t-shirts, which is probably what they're referring to. which are technically probably intended for men.

what bothers me about her, (or not her, but the attention around her) is that I think it's a little dangerous to put so much on someone so young... what happens if they peak at 15? what happens if people get over her by the time she's 17? The pressure gets soooo much higher when you get older in your field and you…

I would like to know what portion of the population the Roanoke Times polled... Roanoke is definitely in a more rural and conservative area than Richmond and Northern VA, where there's a much higher concentration of liberal people.

I'm a former Virginian who wishes I'd kept my voting rights there instead of NY... thanks for your efforts!

Yeah, I'm from VA...it was pretty big down there. There were three "cheer gyms" equidistant from my house.

I totally get this, but will also say that lollies (or whatever other people call the briefs under cheer skirts) are the least sexy, most full coverage item of clothing ever. The whole point is to prevent your underwear/nether regions from being on display during tumbling/stunts, and they work quite well.

We were required to wear our cheerleading uniforms to class as well, which was quite a godsend during basketball season when we had around 3 games a week. Had all of my decisions made for me! But we usually wore just the tops with our warm-up sweat pants underneath instead of the skirts...they were super comfortable.

I can't imagine what this woman must be like working so high up at AA. I agree with you it was totally a missed opportunity all around. They could've taken the high road and instead acted like spoiled teenagers.

and they're so expensive!!! Pnina's dresses are either incredibly gorgeous or incredibly tacky. nothing in between.

ok. If your doctor does not offer it (mine did), ask for misoprostol. It is a drug that dilates your cervix. Also ask for numbing. (although i can't imagine them not providing it.) With those things, I felt little more than discomfort and brief cramping. It does take a while for your body to get used to it...i think…

i barely even get a period anymore post IUD insertion, just spotting. granted, i've never had bad ones before (not that i'd really know since i've been on hormones for so long.) but it's apparently very common for it to be significantly lightened, or go away altogether.

I can't even imagine a doctor not offering numbing, especially if you've never had kids... I had mine inserted about a year ago, and my doctor gave me misoprostel to actually dilate my cervix, and also numbed with shots of lidocaine. There's no reason a doctor shouldn't provide you with that. I was exactly the same..…

I agree with you. I think people that like to make fun of Oprah are forgetting not only her humble beginnings, but also that she did some very powerful things even in her early years... like doing a show in the town that freaked out when an HIV positive man swam in the public pool at a time when HIV and AIDS were…

whats funny is I think that's sort of the point sometimes... for them to be "waifish" and "anonymous" so as to only feature the clothes. crazy how things have changed from the amazon women supermodels of the 90's who took over whatever runway they were on, instead of being an afterthought. honestly, i think we'd all…

and i still can't give blood in the US... because i was born in England in the mid 80's. true story.

i'm sure she was going for irony, but that chicken wing in the pool shot with her sexy eyes face is HOT. and, um, fashionable?
