I get it, we can already buy Oktoberfest beers and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but it still feels too early for full on velvet for me, especially since I can’t help but imagine how those velvet dresses feel in the brunt of L.A. afternoon sun.
More than the apartments, I’m more annoyed by the “quirky female character who eats a lot of greasy, fatty food but maintains perfect skin and stays slim” trope. She’s not shallow like those salad eating bitches, she just LOOKS like them.
Yeah, they know, that’s why they’re doing it.
I was watching The Borgias and some character keeps referring to his romantic attachments as “like Abelard and Heloise”. And I’m going “uh, Abelard got castrated bro, not a good choice!”
Counterpoint: I watch historical dramas/read historical fiction with iPhone in hand, Googling my heart out to see if that actually happened. And I know a shit-ton of actual history for having done so.
As long as it explains about Victoria becoming a werewolf.
Cosmo was in a perfect position to do this. Everyone, including Ivanka, thinks they’re a dumb ladymag full of nothing but penis touching tips and other questionable advice, but their political reporting is actually pretty damn good.
Yes Ivanka, Cosmo readers do and should care about issues impacting women and children (and families of all kinds) which is why they fucking asked you those questions.
Hey, friends! Join me in the Not Wrestling Over the Gendered Language section. Alexis was fantastic and great and was loved by many. Instead of being self-appointed pronoun monitors, let’s love on Alexis’ memory and realize some people will have it right and some people will have it wrong. AIDS sucks, brain tumors…
You could have clicked the first link in your own quotation there, and found this:
Actually, “female” is an adjective. Female district attorney, female firefighter. It’s the use of “female” as a noun that irks me. My son is in the army and he constantly calls female soldiers “females,” and when I correct him and he asks why, I say, “Do you call the male soldiers around you ‘males’?” No, he doesn’t.…
I prefer “female” to modify a noun — it just sounds more grammatically correct to me — but my editors disagree and changed it.
She may not have appeared in court much, but she would select or at least oversee the selection process of those that would be charged and appear in court in the first place.
Being a DA means you have to be above reproach in a lot of ways. While I am glad she got and is getting treatment for her addiction and illness, she should have resigned ages ago. Even “regular” attorneys go on leave when struggling with this stuff because of the effect it can have on their work advocating for their…
The thing that jumped out at me, with little or no mention, is that while the hospitalization, addiction, and all-around erratic behavior was taking place:
my conspiracy theory is that idris elba and t.swift are working together to bring down hiddleston to clear the way for elba bond.
I shit you not I had enough left over notebooks and loose leaf paper to get me through all of undergrad. With the exception of overpriced engineering paper, USB drives, three ring binders and new pencil erasers, I didn’t need to buy ANYTHING during college. I had so many left overs from our required shopping lists for…
I live in a red state, where it is expected to be over 90 degrees every day this week. Buying corduroys and sweaters for “back to school” makes no sense here.
Women have been doing the heavy lifting on the caretaking of sick children, spouses and parents since the beginning of time and don’t get front-page articles about their amazing sacrifices. It’s great that he’s doing it, but the fact that he is shouldn’t be lauded like something above and beyond. In sickness and in…
