I never take time off from work when I have my period because I don't want to seem weak because I *know* it's a totally normal thing. Instead I stay at work shaking and puking –if I felt that rough for non-period-related reasons, I would go home.

Wasn't he dressed as Justin Timberlake for a costume party because Justin Timberlake played him in a film? I vaguely remember thinking it was quite funny.

Me too. I thought they'd be at least three times as much.

It's so tiresome, isn't it? I got engaged and then had to go back home to the other side of the world and didn't see my bloke for eight months; ugh.

Ahaha! Somehow that actually makes me more inclined to watch them, to enjoy the oddly sinister ending. I am a) rubbish at make up and b) prone to insomnia, so it might be a nice thing to do between working/studying/reading news at 3am.

Yep. One of my earliest memories (she died when I was about 5) was of her just lying on the sofa with a bucket, and me being really scared that I would have to see her be sick (I didn't). And also I remember being really confused by how someone who was so pretty (ie, young) could die.

We used to do it all the time in school, and it always worked! And we would always scream, of course. We used to say we were "levitating" each other because that's far more exciting than "science".

I had never seen her before, but I'm torn as to whether I'd watch her again… she's very pretty and seems mostly likeable but God, that baby-voice thing puts me off.

I've been using Rapid Brow for exactly 25 days (I marked it on my calendar so I could see if it was working) and I've been travelling and not thinking about it but the other day I noticed that I really need to pluck my eyebrows — I haven't plucked my eyebrows for about a decade, because there's nothing to pluck, but

I'm kind of intrigued to see it, after I feel like I've heard about it a dozen times recently. Perhaps it'll be shown here in a while.

Yes, yes, yes. When I put my lipstick on (which isn't often), people notice. I wear Ruby Woo or Lady Danger — they are incredible.

Yep. I got my two lipsticks (I was never a lipstick person, and even now I am I only have two colours) by a) borrowing a friend's and falling in love with it while drunk and on painkillers and b) getting the same brand but matching the colour to a necklace I had BUT for powder and pencils I went to Mac counters and

I'm also totally pale (my Mac powder is the most ridiculously white substance I've ever seen in a make-up shop) and thought I would never want to wear strong colours… and then once night while drunk and in Spain I tried my friend's Mac Ruby Woo and found out that I love it. It's CRAZY bold, and I have to be in a bold

Ruby Woo is definitely a blue-based strong red; I have that one for my blue-based red and Lady Danger for my orange-based red (which is far, far orange-ier than Russian Red, so beware if that's not for you). I love them both. I was never a lipstick person at all until a friend let me try her Ruby Woo once while we

You're a genius and I love you (but possibly not quite as much as I love my husband who does the bad-joke-and-sunglasses thing for me in real life ALL THE TIME, hence the marrying).

I have no connection to Ohio at all, but YES. This post is disgusting; a crime doesn't make a city a wretched place we should wipe off the map, for the love of God.

Yep, but they're waaaaaaaaay lower in line.

Not really; they can use "Windsor" for their last name if they like, I think, but generally royals just don't have surnames. (Princes W & H used "Wales", I think.)

My flatmate's mum once presented her with a lifesize cutout of Marylin Monroe as a Christmas present, in relation to… absolutely nothing at all. She just thought that her daughter would like it. She didn't, but she felt a weird guilt about hiding it and therefore INSISTED WE DISPLAY IT PROMINENTLY IN OUR OTHERWISE

THANK YOU. I have never heard of it anywhere but Jezebel, and I seem to hear about it constantly here.
