I too am ashamed of the way I thought of the girls who were victimized. I think I was judging them as a way of convincing myself that it hadn’t been happening to me too.

Wait.

THANK YOU. Keely is so beautiful to our eyes, but most importantly, PIERCE CLEARLY LOVES HER. It’s his life and his bed, he’s surely got lots of botoxed & scrawny typical Hollywood options, yet he chooses Keely. Why can’t anyone respect his taste for his life?!

True Detective, Season 2 is the greatest sleep aid ever invented. Seriously, I have been suffering terrible insomnia IRL, and TD just puts me out like a light. I was going to cancel HBO til GOT comes back, but I’m keeping it now for the Sunday sleep. What do I do after the finale this weekend???!!!

Ruby, I completely appreciate what you’ve written here. I was a server for 20 years, and your examples reminded me how wines would change year to year, also when various wineries fall in & out of favor, and trying to stay on top of everything in that industry (in a comparatively unimportant occupation).

As far as sharks coming to our shores, you have to admit that the sharks aren’t sending us their best.

Sorry if you got this reply a lot, but I just have to tell you you are 100% correct. I am a server. I’m 44 now, and I have had to tread this sir/ma’am/miss-line half my life.

Sean Penn is a documented Domestic Abuser though. Unless she is an abuser, I have no problem with Charlize being an crabby unpleasant person irl.

I think it’s that Hanks doesn’t do the action roles that most of the others are known for. His movie romances are usually based on simulation of real, layered attraction in everyday people, that requires a more grown woman. He wouldn’t be paired so often (or ever, in my recollection) with an it girl who looks hottest…

I agree. Shorts on any man that hairy IS total disregard for human decency.

I work in a restaurant and I can't tell you how many teeny but no less unfortunate 'shit-shows' I've presided over in my career. To me, proposing in public only means you're not sure she will say yes, and you need the spotlight to pressure her.

Kanye's latest, 'nice' take on the incident seems like such obvious back-peddling. Beck couldn't have been nicer, and I sincerely hope Beck's positive, kind sentiments cracked Kanye out his own ass at least for this moment. But this could just be damage control on instruction from his (surely weary) publicist.

God, it's true. We Americans just love watching someone burn, satisfied that it means we're better, we've moved up a notch. So little thought goes into the financial, moral, ethical, etc concerns about state murder.

Yeah, he was the flavor of half a decade—-til we got to know him. Kinda like a male Anne Heche.

Yeah, he's famous for so much—-makin' movies, makin' songs, and fightin' 'round the world; Russ leads a full life.

Hey wait.....I'm 43 and I save the paper! I thought only I did this. But I'm not a mom. I think I may be middle-aged for sure now.

I agree with you. Playboy was all about consent and mutual enthusiasm and enjoyment. Back in the 70's, when I used to steal my dad's and read them cover to cover.

When is somebody going to mention that so far, most of Bill Cosby's rape victims who've been most prominently featured by the media are the white women? Could that be something calculating on their part?

Oh, I KNOW! I want that man whispering filthy nothings to me in German. Or Italian, French, English.....whatever. mmm mmm, he is a yummy thing.

OMG, Wet 'N' Wild makes the ONLY lip lining pencils that stay put. And they cost like a dollar. All their pencils are as good or better than the more expensive brands. I keep trying to tell people.
