I'm a lip balm hound, and the best I've found by far for moisturizing your lips and keeping them dewy is The Body Shop's cocoa butter lip care stick. (Wait until they have a sale and stock up.) If you use a little lip scrub in the morning (I like Lush's mint julep sugar scrub) and then follow up with TBS' cocoa butter…

I emailed them and they took me off the wait list less than 24 hours later, which makes their claims that they have a wait list because there is just too much demand a little dubious. But complaining worked like a charm, and I'll get a Glam Bag now. Yay!

They did! I sent them a polite (but stern) email asking when I would be off, saying that I only use Facebook to keep up with family (mostly true), mentioned that I didn't appreciate being asked to market their subscription service while still on a wait list, and they took me off the wait list less than 24 hours later.…

Ah, thanks for the tip! I will give it one more try and then I give up. I've been frustrated — asking me to help market their products AFTER receiving them is something I'm happy to do, posting reviews, pictures, telling friends, etc. But before? Nah. Holding subscriptions hostage for free social media marketing…

Does being on the Ipsy wait list ever end or do you have to jump through the hoops they suggest to get off the wait list? They keep sending me emails telling me I'm on the wait list and that if I just SPAM ALL THE WOMEN I KNOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA with Ipsy invites, I will receive a bag. I'm willing to pony up $10 per…

That's nonsense. If my GROWN ASS FRIEND throws themselves a birthday party, I do not necessarily bring a gift. I am going to the party to celebrate their birthday and spend time with them, not to shower them with gifts. If my NOT-A-PRESCHOOLER friend has a dinner party at their house, I do not necessarily bring a…

GIVING cash isn't tacky.

Well, you're assuming that the party and booze are free (not always so, as someone who has paid for travel & lodging for weddings with cash bars, in addition to sometimes needing to take time off work for the wedding and various wedding-related events, plus the cost of a new dress & shoes) and that weddings are super…

New Haven-style is traditionally not made with tomato sauce, although it certainly can be

Speaking of strawmen, where did I ever suggest that porn should be banned? Because I'm 100% sure I did not suggest that and also quite sure I don't feel that it should. So, good job yelling "STRAWMAN!" at me and then spending 4 fucking paragraphs arguing against points I didn't even make at any goddamn point. I have…

Is she confusing porn actresses with the little girls that are victims of human trafficking?

I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Yes, they are adult women. Most of them are also in their late teens or early 20s. Those are important formative years; most people in the 18-25 range are figuring out who they are, what they want to do, attending school or building careers, setting themselves up for…

Adults are also victims of human trafficking (or sex trafficking, if you want to be more specific because "human trafficking" is casting a pretty wide net). I live in a city 20mins away from the White House and adult victims of sex trafficking, being trailed by pimps, can be found every night. If you think only…

I once lost a job to a woman who had done several Kink.com videos. We were the final 2 candidates and she got the job. I never met her. How did I know she had been featured on Kink.com? I told a male friend that I'd lost out on the job and mentioned her name and he said, "Oh, she's done porn." And proceeded to pull up…

Wicked is a major porn company that has contracts with stars like Jessica Drake. They implemented a condom-only policy awhile back. The opposed Measure B in California, but not because condoms cause damage. They simply don't want their industry regulated.

But then again there are companies who have successfully implemented condom-only policies without chafing and sores and other ugly side effects (and without outbreaks of HIV or other STDs). It can be done and it is being done. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100359796#.

So then... how come Wicked is able to implement a condom-only policy without performers complaining of horrific chafing, tearing, and outbreaks of disease? Are they wizards who know powerful spells to prevent these worst-case-scenarios you're presenting? Are their condoms imbued with magic? Or is it all bullshit…

So should your doctor be given the choice whether or not to wear gloves when examining patients or wash their hands between patients? Should surgeons be allowed to decide to choose whether or not washing their instruments feels right? Should food service employee determine that food is safe to serve because it seems…

It is a labor issue. If porn actresses are suffering physical harm as a result of the length of time they are required to shoot, they should shoot for a shorter period of time. If sex workers are put into contact with fluids that could cause disease, there should be barriers to protect them. Sex workers should be…

A&E's "Hoarders" had a regular cast of psychologists, cleaners, and professional organizers throughout its run and most had contracts with the show — which ones are you acquainted with? They didn't just show up in town and call therapists out of the phone book. A&E offered aftercare funds to every person featured on…
