I can’t eat cake (I have celiac disease, along with several of the wedding guests) so we weren’t even going to have one. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of finding a GF cake, nor subject everyone else to it. They can be good, but are frequently - not. We were going to serve lots of tiny delicious gluten-free…

I can’t tell whether you’re earnest or a deeply camouflaged troll, but magazines like Essence exist because publications like Rolling Stone weren’t covering the people or issues that people of color wanted to read about. It’s a symptom of the racial divide, not the cause.

She looks — different. Is this contouring gone mad, or has she had something done to her face?

“Pushing the liberal agenda” = “not concealing chronic child molestation”? Good to know!

I... am not a fan of this neckline. It's like she's ashamed of everything but her collarbones,

Oh my gos, yes, this. Pregnancy is the most terrifying, disorienting experience I’ve ever had - and I desperately wanted to be pregnant for years before I finally had my son. I can’t imagine how awful it would be if I didn’t want children or to be pregnant. (And truthfully? I didn't want to be pregnant, per se. But it…

See, I have giant lips, and I’ve always felt like red lipstick makes them take up MY WHOLE FACE. So I’ve avoided it for that reason, although damn, I’d like to wear it.

I just took a cab with a driver from Africa who alarmed me when I asked where he was turning right and he replied, “It’s sexy!” After some back and forth, I figured out that he was saying “Essex Street.”

Bodily autonomy doesn’t exist when you’re asleep, duh. /sarcasm

Does his neck tattoo read “MACK? Because that’s not creepy and possessive at all.

Depends on the jurisdiction:

Friday Night Lights is amazeballs, and he is amazing in it.

Apparently that whole “coffee stunts your growth” thing was invented as an advertising campaign for Postum, a coffee alternative: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

Thehairpin.com is sometimes very good and sometimes very odd. They do an amazing occasional column on vintage jewelry. I frequent gofugyourself.com, mostly for the Royals Roundup and their Friday afternoon link roundup, and thebloggess.com, mostly for her general air of wackiness and love of weird taxidermy. I don’t…

Ha, when I was getting married, my husband and I joked that no one cared about his opinion - all the vendors asked me about my “ vision” and basically ignored him. He commented that he felt like a small child trying to help — “That’s nice, sweetie, now why don’t you go outside and play.” Which he found frustrating,…

It is not a good day to be a famous pervy male ginger, apparently.

Shoot, I was hoping this article would tell me how to buy amazing clothes without having to set foot in a physical store, spend hours on a website, or become fabulously rich and hiring a personal shopper/stylist to shop for me. Shopping is not my bag, y’all.

WOW. Amandla is seriously one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen.

“Do as I say, not as I do” is apparently their motto.

“George of the Jungle,” yo.
