Eh, I wouldn’t base the work that goes into designer dresses on PR. Those dresses look like shit up close and underneath, and generally fall apart later. They are held together sometimes with literal tape and prayer.

It’s bitterly amusing that they are using the fact that they make clothes for only one body type as their defense.

Oh for sure. We both ended up in the military because of financial reasons tied to college and we definitely want to avoid him having to make a hard choice like that. I'm more on the transfer in bandwagon, but his dad fully supports him leaving right out of high school. We have 5 years. He will definitely be applying…

We know, we have already told him ROTC is in his future.

I do! A dresser of all things, haha.

The system does get gamed somewhat, and unfortunately a rather high percentage of that top-10% of lesser high schools drop or fail out (or they did in the late 90s when my husband was there). It’s an imperfect system, but on the whole I think it’s a good one.

My husband graduated from UT Austin. His mother from UT Dallas. All our oldest son has ever, ever wanted was to go to UT. The Eyes of Texas was the lullaby his father sang him for heaven’s sake. We aren’t in Texas though (and won’t ever live there), and he’s white and middle class, so we are well aware that the road…

Not only did they not do that, but they contacted Blum on her behalf, knowing he was looking for the perfect test case to send to the SCOTUS against UT.

Nic Cage is bonkers and makes some truly terrible movies, but I will always have a soft spot for him. He’s also made some truly great movies. Even more importantly, he’s made the BEST bad movies that I will watch every time they are on. Who doesn’t love The Rock or Con-Air? Admit it, you love those terrible movies.

Me too. I don’t even care really, but I find the “she’s so fake/it’s all PR/maneater” comments to be so nauseating that I want them to run away and elope like next week. Live your best life, Taylor.

I would wear that outfit in a heartbeat. It’s so flattering and pretty! I bet her “constructive critic” is a sloppy dresser.

He looks almost *exactly* like a friend of mine, who is also 35. They look so much alike that I feel weird anytime I think he (Hiddleston) is hot, since I’m also friends with my friend’s wife.

She is their mother. What is she supposed to say? “Nah, it’s a vapid profession and I’m so ashamed my children have followed in my footsteps.”? Come off it.

I am SO looking forward to this movie. Pacific Islander mythologies are very interesting and I love that they are being worked into a Disney movie. So many people will get introduced to these great stories and gods through it.

He’s got the eyebrows

A new Haim album would be the best news ever.

You are correct. It's also a feature of Southern and Mid-Atlantic accents. Most informal speech drops g and r and shortens syllables in some manner.

I’ve been on a Mindy Project kick lately so this is exciting news. Presumably that necklace is one of those kind that comes with it’s own security guards. I’m cool with it. I’d want to steal something like this, too.

Everything about this story makes me feel the need to take a long, very hot shower.

I don’t have an issue with singers not writing their songs. Songwriting is completely different from singing. I also expect some level of cleaning up to be done on any recording. However, the basic ability to actually sing should be a requirement. CGI does not impact an actor’s ability to act. In fact, I think it is…
