These people are the worst people and their tone is the worst tone, BUT, anything that provides training for marketable skills that increases the earning potential for already marginalized people has got to be a net good.

Seconding Ireland. You want a hookup? Walk into any small town Irish pub and announce it’s your last night in the country and you’re heading back to Texas in the morning. It was like shark week with freckles.
I think it's sort of sweet. Like all these darling girls are juuust starting to spread their fashion wings but still have the training wheels on. Isn't it kind of endearing? And okay, yes, they are all pretty much interchangeable and derivative and not particularly interesting to me personally as a Fashion…
Hopefully she used 25.
You are not lying. I live in Baja and I swear most of the gringos here treat it like California-and-a-half, and wouldn’t know good Mexican food if it sodomized them with a tostada. Of course many of them have lived here 20 years, are incredibly patronizing and don’t speak a lick of Spanish so I’m not going to be too…
Oh yeah, that’s the sweet spot for that sort of stuff. It’s definitely of its time, but it’s great for what it is.
I’m trying to think of any contemporary-ish remake that’s been anywhere near as good as the original and the only one I can come up with is the Lolita with Jeremy Irons, which while less iconic than the original, is the better film. Other than that? Embarrassing money grabs, all.
I think it’s one of those things you need to see at a particular time in your life. It’s definitely a cult/camp classic, so it’s worth seeing in that regard, but seeing it at 35 will definitely not be the same experience as it would’ve been at 18.
I know the feeling. It had changed so much but it was My Town. But when my family pretty much all died at once and I got laid off from the Statesman (two days before I was going to go to my grandparents’ funeral so they wouldn’t have to give me those three days of bereavement, stay classy AAS) I decided to say fuck it…
I feel the same way about Austin, which I left three years ago. I’m not even a native, but I moved there in the 90’s when I was young. It was wonderful and magical and appealingly shabby. By the time I left it was well on its way to becoming a drag version of itself: a sort of self-congratulatory hipster themepark run…
Well if it makes you feel any better, they’re Valentino knock-offs, so you’re not getting anything spewed from Paris Hilton’s mind (not that you could). Valentino has always done bow d’orsays and they’re always beautiful. The perfect wedding shoe. Ooh, here, I have a photo of it (with bonus cute dog)
(maybe branch out from puto though? Spanish has many glorious and evocative profanities without the homophobic slur subtext.)
Okay question time. My fella and I actually live on the beach in Mexico just outside the beautiful Guadalupe Valley wine country and since most of his family wouldn't be able to get travel visas into the US, we'll need to have our eventual wedding here. We were thinking of footing the bill on a renting a bunch of…
And before May there were down here in Mexico, wearing ridiculous sombreros and walking into a shop that makes nothing but apple pies (called, not surprisingly, The Apple Pie Shop) asking "DO. YOU. HAVE. ANY. TACOS?"
Alllll the stars for you. All of them.
Right? "What are you? No, I mean what ARE you?" never leads anywhere good. See also: "Where are you REALLY from, like, originally?"
That guy sounds like a disaster. Which isn't to say a little playful egging on of jealousy within a stable, healthy relationship is necessarily a bad thing. My fella is a great-looking guy and has somehow found himself to be the official cougar-bait selection of our little neighborhood. We both know I'm not jealous…
Once upon a time I was that hookup turned best friend. We stopped hooking up early because that aspect of our friendship was laughably bad but we were best friends for years and yeah, I probably wasn't that great to his girlfriends. I was friendly and decent, but after the first few I quit making an effort to be pals…
We'd both had clean STD tests and things were getting pretty serious so a few months into our relationship I went to get fitted for an IUD. The gynecologist said they had to run some tests and scheduled me for the insertion two weeks later. Those two weeks came and went, I went back to the lady doc, got in the…
They are, as far as I'm concerned. I think there might be some confusion as to what could be interpreted as voting against feminist interests, but if you actively believe men and women should truly have equal rights and opportunities, then you're a feminist. I am middle of the road myself: socially progressive,…
