I traveled at 32 weeks pregnant, from CA to Vegas for a long weekend, & my ob/gyn nearly had a fit when I told her I was flying and leaving the city "so close to my due date". I went anyway, figuring I'd only be in the air for about an hour, but that does strike me as nutty flying across an ocean for 7 1/2 hours that…

Well said. My teen daughter is identifying as asexual and it's been a struggle for me to understand it. I'd never even heard of such a thing prior to a few years ago.

Maybe a better title would be something along the lines of Masturbation - Try it! Maybe you'll like it! I believe the author was gearing her piece more towards women who have never tried it, not those who have and then afterwards decided it's not for them.

I would say the author has a perfect launching pad with which to discuss the issue with her daughter. I mean, she is currently writing a book on the subject! That makes it more natural to bring up in a conversation with her kid. "You know, I've been researching about when when women start masturbating and blah blah…

I don't feel sad for them at all but angry. They will blame the liberal media and the gay agenda and atheists etc. for their child's death - I'm sure they think they did everything right by pushing their fundamentalist Christian viewpoint on their poor poor kid.

But most prenatal paternity tests are only able to be done in the second trimester. This dumbass guy didn't think through his dumbass proposal very well.

Yeah, that was my first thought. Who is to say who the father is? Any guy could sign it.

OMG, I loved that movie when it came out. I was 12 and wished I had a friend who was dating an older guy so we could hang out in his bitchin' condo - haha. Little Darlings, which came out the same year, is also crazy. Can you imagine either movie getting green-lighted by a movie studio now? "So, it's about 2 15 yr old…

Have you read We Got The Neutron Bomb by Mark Spitz? It's a history of the LA punk scene. Or Lexicon Devil, a bio of Darby Crash? Both are entertaining. I find it hard to reconcile 1980s popstar Belinda Carlisle with 1970s punk Belinda Carlisle.

Yeah, I was a teenager in the early to mid 80s and started going to bars/nightclubs at 14. Never hassled. Slap on some makeup and a miniskirt and I was good to go. Now I'm curious about when it started getting hard to get into places as a teen. The 90s?

I wish I had. I grew up in Texas in the 70s/80s - not so fun! Did you hang out on the Sunset Strip?

The drinking age back then was 18. I've read a lot of memoirs set in the 70s in LA and no, they weren't really stringent about checking ids. Interestingly, there was a club on Sunset Blvd in the 70's called the Sugar Shack that was for teens only and they carded you if you looked too old. Unless you were a famous…

I've seen comments on some other websites about how crazy and horrible it was he took her to the Playboy mansion. Where were her parents, weren't the other guests horrified blah blah blah. This occurred in 1974, which was a VERY different era. Let me just say Cosby is gross & horrible & I believe her story 100% but…

Or maybe Ka

Oh wow, Johnny is looking really rough in that photo posted. Ah, fading beauty can be so heartbreaking. He had a good run, though.

Yet the "counselors" take photos of the women entering the clinics in order to harass them. UGH

I would imagine every child star has creepy stories to tell. Natalie Wood had some doozies too. I guess I was extra shocked at Shirley's treatment because she had saved the studio from bankruptcy and was such a huge,huge, huge star (Brad Pitt & Tom Cruise & DiCaprio all rolled together) yet she would still be treated…

I've always wondered that too. Can't you just say you are already booked?

Yeah, I've read quite a few Hollywood memoirs and various forms of sexual harassment(from verbal to rape) are super common for both men & women trying to break into the business. I imagine it's also hard to admit to yourself that your dream career has instead turned into a nightmare. Very soul crushing, that you…
