@citrus_buddha: Actually, I have yet to meet a guy who likes David Sedaris. A straight guy, that is.

@TakeADeepBreath: Yes, and February is the traditional dumping ground for all the crap you wouldn't see any other time of year. Looks like it belongs there.

I am a woman. I don't obsessively love shoes. I still have pairs I bought years ago. I admit to wearing those comfy shoe brands instead of prettier ones and preferring sneakers to heels. The somewhat ironic result is that my feet look awesome in sandals while the shoe-obsessed women I know have very scary looking…

@mollybee: I hated how all the girls said lame self-esteem cliches like "If you don't believe in yourself how can other people believe in you?" If there's anywhere that shows how excessive self-esteem can be a problem, it's ANTM where every girl and their dog insists they are really the best. (Right before they get…

@heykoukla: In agreement, Lloyd is not an EFM. In fact, the point of Lloyd is that he's completely un-fumbling in his life. I don't think we should let a little teenage lack of vision turn us against him. (I know, kickboxing? really? But I always imagined Lloyd would get over the kickboxing thing in his early…

There are good and bad Immigration Judges like there are good and bad judges everywhere. But BIA (the Board of Immigration Appeals) is notorious among those in Immigration Law as doing virtually nothing to help anyone. The federal courts are starting to step in to reverse their decisions since they can't reverse it…

@BadHairLife: I agree there are potential ways to show it. But it's still difficult to practically put into place. How will they catch the johns? By staking out brothels they think have trafficked women? And couldn't they use those same ideas to try and attack the traffickers themselves?

I agree that this kind of idea is a step forward. But I don't think they'll make progress through convictions. As a criminal attorney, I have to wonder how they'll prove the women were trafficked. And that's totally absent the whole intent factor. (Couldn't outlawing all prostitution be potentially more…

If you only read the very beginning and the very end, you'd think this email would be an explanation about why he suddenly took off. Which would be great, except that he in no way explains why he took off or what any of this has to do with her. Instead it's more of a I HAD A HOMOSEXUAL EXPERIENCE and you are the…

I thought it was unintentionally hilarious when Kenley was ragging on Suede and how he can't adapt his own aesthetic into the different challenges. She's in just a smidge of denial since she makes the same dress every time. I loved how Leanne and Korto just kind of smiled blandly at her in response, though I wish…

Reuters just released a statement from Palin that her daughter is pregnant, trying to attack the internet rumors from the weekend. I feel bad for Bristol, just like I used to feel bad for Chelsea Clinton. No teenager should be in the spotlight that way, especially not when you're going through the biggest crisis of…

I'm only two paragraphs into this thing, and already he's said that abusing a woman is the same as "disappointing" her. Seriously???

@xay: Exactly why I try to avoid Lenox at all costs. They also don't pay any attention to you if your jeans cost less than $100.

Um, the fact that this happened in Atlanta strikes me as extremely unusual. After all, most of the metro area is black. I used to be the only white girl in my entire neighborhood, not to mention at the mall. But Gwinnett county does have areas where there's a much smaller black presence (but it's made up for by a…

Have to agree with the general lawyer consensus. I skipped the big firm summer, but I dated a guy who mentored summer associates at his big firm. For the most part, the lower-level crew know who's sleeping with who, and you can probably get away with it. But if the partners find out, you're screwed. Whether you…

I used to work in the Texas prison system, and there is a building you can visit where they have all the different things prisoners build on display. Including cells. And, bizarrely, school buses.

Yeah, it happened once. Date with a guy, did it in my car in the parking lot. Only advantage was I didn't have to drive all the way to his place or wait for him to leave my place once it was over.

@clevernamehere: I agree. I also think I may be in the minority, since I know for a fact his wife explicitly forbade him from seeing me. Even in mixed company. It wasn't just him being flaky, it was her being crazily possessive.

If this post had come up about 4 years ago, I probably would have felt relieved to know I'm not the only one it happened to.

Whatever happened to going into someone's office and shutting the door?
