Is this even really effective marketing for Guess? I mean, I wouldn’t think so, but what do I know?

So...like a pentagram? That sounds like something that somebody like, I don’t know....SATAN! would favor.

Arnold is too! The whole thing is weird.

Honestly, I’ve never been in that position with a friend; it’s hard to know what I’d do. There are probably a million variables that would inform my behavior but I certainly HOPE I wouldn’t react as Garafalo has done.

I get being someone’s friend. I really do. I get not wanting to knock that person publicly, and I don’t think a person should have to. But for heaven’s sake, come up with a better articulation of your position. Say, “I support women and victims of harassment and abuse. In the case of Louis C.K., he has been and…

Yeah, it shows her as a hypocrite. (Sorry, still very bitter over her anti-HRC stance. I used to really like Dawson, too.)

I’m gonna go with door number two, there.

I seriously had the hardest time for ages remembering if it was “baby” (spelled weird) or “barbie” (spelled weird). Glad I’m not the only one.

I have the show DVRed but haven’t watched yet (still trying to finish My Brilliant Friend). I found the podcast very compelling but not sure I can handle my beloved Connie Britton as the odious Debra. I hated her almost more than John. (/slight exaggeration but she annoyed the SHIT out of me. I hate the sort of person…

Fish is disgusting and I am probably never going to be more in sympathy with Bethenny than in regards to her apparent fish allergy (I am not allergic except in the sense that fish is DISGUSTING and my sensibilities are allergic to grossness).

Isn’t anyone who marries the fucking future KING OF ENGLAND by definition climbing up socially? I mean, everyone in Britain is below him socially except for his immediate family.

Purists who won’t even consider the electability of candidates drive me bonkers. Hell, I am super-bitter about the idea that the Dem candidate will probably (maybe) be another white male, but if he can beat Trump, I can swallow my bitterness and bide my time. I don’t like it, but I can deal with it.

But I want to know which movies you HATED.

They used to make fun of her for being carried around like a baby. It was actually pretty funny.

Yeah, Lydia was the worst.

I thought of Jules, because I really liked her! I think she was probably a bit too much of a mess to qualify as the “voice-of-reason” younger HW, but I did really like her. I hope she’s doing okay!

Teddi is boring. And sanctimonious. She’s a terrible addition, and I tend to gravitate towards liking the “slightly younger, more normal, voice-of-reason” housewives, even though they don’t always do well on the show (ex. Kristen Taekman in NY, Lizzie Rovsek in OC).

I’m just going to be that old lady and say that this falls under, “things you don’t need to share with the class, Cardi B.” I have to think there’s some space between being sex-positive and telling anyone who’ll listen that you want your trifling ex’s dick to “destroy” you. Sheesh.

Yeah. I’m also wary of using Becky to denigrate the racism of someone who seems kind of crazy, though to be fair maybe she just seems crazy to me because I don’t understand why she’s acting this way (in public, of all places!).

Maybe I’m showing my own prejudices, but an urban woman with an uber-Russian name actually doesn’t seem to fit the Becky stereotype to me. They’re more very white, suburban middle-aged women with too much time on their hands and an abiding interest in interfering with other peoples’ business.
