You make me happy, lady. Someday I will be as weird, comfy and happy as you.

It's beyond frustrating too with the way my Target is set up. When you first walk in, there's the junior's stuff and while it's cute, I'm 28 years old and even if I were thin, that shit wouldn't really be for me anymore.
BREAKING NEWS: SOMEONE IS WILLING TO SELL ME PANTS
All it takes to remind me that there is a segment of the world that believes plus-size women are not deserving of nice things is a trip to Target. I had hoped the new line would be different, but no suck luck. I tried on a bunch of stuff at Target and was beyond disappointed. How hard is it for both designers and the…
My first toddler was an "accidental vegan" for almost a year. He (like me) is lactose intolerant. Which we discovered giving him baby yogurt... ahh the tears and screaming. He eats fruits and veggies like a champ and who wants to eat jarred meat sludge? We took him to a dietician who looked at the long list of foods…
Johnny Grab-Ass wants to paw at your chest? Slap his hands away and tell him to keep his goddamned hands to himself. Same with your clinger - he doesn't get to touch you, force you down (again, holy shit, really??) or squeeze you against him without your express permission.
Seriously, if the first time a girl is nice to them these guys molest her, creep on her, and generally make her feel squicky, maybe all those "mean" girls in high school were clued in to something deeply messed up about them. Maybe the Queen Bitches of the World aren't bullies, just women who won't put up with their…
Welcome to working or studying in most male-dominated workplaces or fields. This isn't unusual. This isn't remarkable.
Yeah, I'm trying to keep it between 1400 and 1500 right now (I have a sedentary job, so my 30 minutes at the gym doesn't make much of a dent and I'm currently a fatty mcfatterson with no muscle mass to boost my BMR). Dudes proclaiming that it's soooo easssyyyy to eat less to lose weight make me ragey.
I got two, almost three, degrees in the humanities, wanting to be a Shakespeare professor. That's a BA and MFA in Drama, and I got halfway to a PhD in Theatre History before realizing what I was doing. I could go on for hours about this, but my problem was being surrounded by professors who told me that there were…
Haha! But gold eyeliner and silver jewelry? Maybe a very soft grey, to emphasize the eyes without OHAI SHINY GUYLINER! I'm pro guyliner, all the way but with Business Goth, one must keep things more understated.
I'm going a totally other way. I feel like the older I get, the better I know how to dress my hair, face, and body - also, the more disposable income I have to spend on these things. With hair and makeup I'm really paring it down, wearing the least amount for the most impact. With clothing, I'm buying more…
Me too! I keep thinking now that I'm over 40 I should start dressing like a grown up, but then I see some Doctor Who/H.P.Lovecraft/Studio Ghibli mash up shirt, and I'm all , like, "DUDE!"
Me too. The biggest barrier before was money (and if I'm being honest, it kinda still is). Gothiness is expensive shit if you don't want to have the cheapest-looking plastic shit ever.
I am envisioning a three piece suit, pocket square, and some subtle gold eyeliner.
Business goth. Aka Johnny Cash with eyeliner. Perhaps slightly more sartorial panache with respect to accessories?
I wear dresses and cute flats.
Me too! And in my case all the jeans and t-shirts either have holes in them, don't fit right, or both. I wish I was breathtakingly gorgeous so those outfits would come across as Down to Earth instead of Suicide Risk.
I was cracking up at the absurdity of these until I got to Big Museum Earrings lady. Then shit got suddenly very, very real.
I'm recently divorced and living alone for the first time ever. It's AMAZING. My ex husband was super critical and I am experiencing freedom like I've never known.
