She said it herself, I don't get it.

@SlayBelle: oh wow. was wondering that myself too. very smart ladies.

i'm not sure how i feel about this. i've never been in a situation like this... but i've watched my parents go through it. and i'm really not sure how i feel about this... but i am glad that it's making people discuss the issue nevertheless.

@rah29: yeah i once told my best friend how i never thought her (ex)boyfriend was right for her, and thought he was too immature yada yada... they still keep in touch a bit, and everytime she mentions him, i'm just like, erggg ughh, sorry about bashing him, all sheepishly.

@Lessahhaspants: i second @jumpingpiglet's advice. and to a certain extent don't take no for an answer. if you're really close check in on her every day. she's going to need it.

Real love does not come from a foundation when you hurt somebody else. oh mashonda, i hear you girl. i am right there with you.

isn't he just sort of a more baby-faced version of jared leto?

i think it's not so much about sex, as it is about trust.

@MuffyMars: okay i'm going to stop replying after this, because this clearly is too much of a conversation for online banter.

@MuffyMars: and really "women like you" .... because after one comment you know what sort of woman I am? ::eye roll::

@MuffyMars:

I didn't read the Millennium books, but I saw the first two movies. And yeah, after the first one I was really uncomfortable about Lisbeth and what she represented. I think in U.S. culture she's going to get fetishized because she's still a hot, skinny, promiscuous white woman. I think all her damage and…

looks like a design school project - i had lots of projects where we took an existing ad (even if old) and had to remake it.

@KiddyKat: oh no no no. money matters much more than people. much more.

@KLondike5: i like this idea. i just started 365 days of skirts, and i'm definitely noticing the different treatment. sometimes i even act differently because of the dress or skirt.

Now: as for the old adage of women dressing for women? Duh. Who else is actually going to know the difference between a shawl collar and a notched collar?

@EKane - say it wit ya CHEST!:

bummer that the scene with Bill drinking Sookie dry was so boring, in the book, it's totally chaotic and fearful and fantastic! shame shame TB.

i only watched the two clips above and the only part that i found offensive was how giddy that male news anchor was in the second clip. Oooh, we made a viral sensation, aren't we hot shit. Show a little more class, a woman was assaulted while she slept.

i feel like i'm going through it right now. and ya know the old adage - fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me (in my situation this applies to heartbreak.) i just got fooled for the second time by a boy/man i thought i loved. and after getting over feeling like an idiot, i realize that i need to trust…
