sad, sad news indeed. that man was SKILLFUL. i went over there to just see the spectacle, and came home with 4 peelers.

oh wow i can't wait for zoe's show to come back. i really wanted to hate her, going into it, but she turned out to be a lot cooler than i had expected.

@BrutallyHonestZombies: we're more of a drunken sing-along around the piano kind of family.

@LessThanZero: HAHAHA I've been toying with that idea for ages— just going to the library and renting a few "quick reads"— i.e. young adult fiction— and cracking them open at the gym. Though I will have to draw the line at Karen's series— I think they are for 2nd graders. You may have finally inspired me to take…

I use the method of tucking in my layers of shirts into my layers of pants Urkle-style so that no cold air can penetrate. really turns my boyfriend on...

@l8rsk8r: sheepish here. didn't know either. and REALLY hope that VS is also in the dark about it.

@the dodo, the cuckoo, and the nene: yeah, I saw the perma-tan as a symbol of her vibrance and zest for life, as unrealistic as it was. hahah.

whenever I think of the quintessential "California girl" I think of Dawn, from Babysitter's Club. she was everything I wanted to be— a long, lanky blonde with stick-straight hair, a carefree attitude, and a natural tan... (sigh)... how was it that nerdy Mary Ann always had the boyfriend and not Dawn— someone, please,…

aww renee... slummin' it with the disabled... so big of you!

@Scout: right, and the more opportunities People Mag editors have to "denounce" what's happening, the more air time they have and the more time they prolong this ridiculousness.

@AthertonMerriweather: you love her CURRENT hair, right? she's in my friend's class in grad school (public health) and my friend has been very impressed with her, as a classmate, in terms of her smarts.

Taylor, not only are you not a "designer," but you are also NOT a socially-conscious individual. wal-mart is so cheap because it's built on the backs of sweatshop workers and exploited workers. get a freaking CLUE.

hammer pants are UNIVERSALLY unflattering. if the skinny girls from 90210 can't pull it off, i sure as hell can't. gawd. and i thought skinny jeans were bad...

does she ever feel the urge to change her look? mix it up a bit? pinch some life into her cheeks? just a thought...

this just reminds me of my experience a few weeks ago— had a nice tall cup o' starbucks before my 11am bikram yoga class (105 degrees, 90 mins), and my heart RACED through the class—in a frightening, out-of-control way. i left and called my bf, who had been at the gym, and we asked each other at the same time "was…

@AthertonMerriweather: do you think? i always get that "down-to-earth" vibe from jenna in an actual non-hollywood way. if your theory was correct i'd be mighty disappointed!

whyy did you have to point out the fact that Rashida is no longer on The Office? you might as well just throw some Amy Ryan in there too to really get me going...

my brother was in one of the lower weight classes on his high school wrestling team and was actually interviewed by "good morning america" because he often had to wrestle girls. he made a really good point— basically he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. if you lose to a girl it's a tragedy (brutal…

@funnyface: HAHAHHA same exact thing for me, like red ants in my crotch— TOTAL mood-buster!

@nancy11372: i have to say, as a fellow reader— hangs head in shame— that Glamour often shows affordable fashions, and offers much more attainable items than most other lady mags. so it's got that going for it, along with its pretty cool EIC.
