It would never occur to me that someone would take me less seriously because I am not wearing make-up. In fact, were I to put on full paint, I would assume that people would take me less seriously because I would be feeling ridiculous.

I prefer thongs but ONLY the cotton and lace Bridget thong from Fredericks of Hollywood. It provides good labia coverage, has a wide band that doesn't dig into your sides, and just skims right over the top of your skin, not too loose and not too tight. I recommend this thong to everyone!!!!

I spent quite a bit of time behind a grocery store deli counter during my high school and college years (still can't eat a sandwich, but I digress). I grew up in a very small town where the population quintupled during the summer.

Yes, and note that all the foods are listed in specific amounts whereas the wine is just "1". I'm thinking that's "1 bottle"!

Well, okay-then. From one dishwater blonde to another — thanks for the tips!!! If you can make it work, well, maybe I can too (and before I start down that dark path of coloring!). I will take these tips to heart and hopefully will be rocking some better looking hair soon!

I had a teacher in 10th grade biology who had this gorgeous head of dark, dark hair with a shocking white stripe right through her bangs. She rocked that 'do and she rocked it hard. I just don't think it looks the same with my blondish hair and gym shorts. :)

Yeah! You deserve to have your hair burned for using a well-known brand that is on shelves everywhere!

I'll have you know that I am now, after 35 years of living on this Earth, considering coloring my hair for the first time! I'm starting to get a small skunk stripe and it isn't very attractive, so I feel I need to do something about it.

Of course she was cold — she's had zero parenting, which is obvious by Clueless Dad's (TM) declaration that his girl is a "good girl".

I don't wear make-up to please men or anyone. I wear make-up so that I can go outside without feeling like a monster who will scare small children.

One of my favorite cities, Savannah, GA, is also the city in which my grandmother was raped and murdered (in the 60s, also unsolved). I don't think many people hold the city responsible.

Oh my god, and the comments!! WTF is wrong with people?

Do we give him points for sitting with his legs closed and not taking up three seats on the bus? I'm reaching for anything redeemable about this guy...

Having been married to a 5'6" dude... I can only say that I am cringing in terror if what you say about height correlates as true!!!

That's just the thing. You can try to have a logical, compassionate conversation with them about abortion but then... you run into that brick wall. Even pretending that you can go along with the whole "abortion is murder" schtick, when you start probing about other "pro-life" positions, you find that they are…

You know, we just dealt with the untimely death of an otherwise healthy young man. The depths of grief and despair that I have suffered during the past weeks, and that I have witnessed others enduring, is bottomless.

You do it because you have to. That's the only explanation I can give. Having recently gone through this, I had a number of people tell me, "I'm so amazed/impressed/surprised at how well you're holding it together." Well, honestly? What the fuck was I supposed to do? If everyone else is breaking down around you,…

Except HE is the one who holds all the cards for the world passing by. This guy is one of the most powerful men in the country. If he played his cards a little better, he could have put himself in a better position for when the world keeps on moving past him.

Shouldn't he have, as a gentleman, pardoned his French??

I completely thought that was what Gretchen was getting at. Clearly there are some juicy secrets she's keeping for Brandy!
