I hate the "fugly shoe" trend so much. I feel like it exemplifies the $$ aspirational/label-obsessed side of fashion more than anything else; they have no value aside from displaying that the wearer is wealthy enough both to afford that particular brand and look hideous without looking trashy. There are other things…

I am obsessed with Lily Pulitzer. I had no idea it existed until a few months ago (can you tell my level of interest in sororities?) and I just keep imagining ultra-Reese Witherspoon caricatures wearing garish prints to sing those terrible songs sororities sing during rush week and do old-lady southern luncheons. I…

Hot damn they're talking about Islam again!

As someone easily annoyed, I understand finding small and seemingly innocuous things beyond irritating. But writing them all down and publishing them screams complete psycho. This guy is probably the worst person to talk to at a party or anywhere talking occurs. Why would anyone do this? The list itself is a…

I love the compilation more than the original video. "Oi! Leave it!" at the cat. My fav. Also "alright?" a lot.

I agree - I tend to eat mostly vegetarian just because it's cheaper! I do eat some dairy (butter, milk and yogurt) but rarely cheese because of the expense, unless that cheese is discount macn'cheese!! There is absolutely no way I could afford to eat meat more than 1-2x a week (if I do at all). PETA is still full of…

Ooh ok. No they stay pretty well in their shape, they are well-tamed! I spent some quality time with the mirror yesterday though and I noticed there are a few patches that could possibly qualify as "patchy", so maybe I will attempt using the Benefit eyebrow stuff I got years ago.

I have a question about using brow pencils and filling in brows! I have recently tried to become more of an adult about makeup (as in, maybe use something other than eyeliner and powder) but my eyebrows are pretty thick and very, very dark. Is there a benefit to using a pencil that I'm not aware of, even when you have…

That's true, but grapefruit can affect how your body breaks down certain medication so it's something to be aware of, and the acid in citrus can further irritate your bladder. Sugar-free cranberry (I think Ocean Spray makes a "light" version if artificial sweeteners are ok and spending 1 million dollars at Whole Foods…

The biggest thing that helps me avoid them is drinking at least 2 litres of water a day, and if I do get one swapping the water for 2 litres of cranberry juice. As soon as I feel that twinge it's cranberry juice time!

I got there as a host once as well! I think people are extra shitty to hosts because they either think you are a manager and being shitty = free stuff! or they recognize you have zero power and they can take out their hatred of the service industry on you. In my case I was the host at a popular sports bar and the…

I hate it a lot less finding out it's not a cutesy Pinterest thing/gross wedding trend, but still ugh.

I've got a lot of terrible roommate stories, but I think I was partially responsible in all of them (as in, feeding the drama/not setting boundaries) except for the time I lived with someone out on bail for attempted murder. My understanding is it was very, very close to actual murder. I sat in my room with the door…

I'm reading them just to find out IF any of them are about me! I can't have roommates for the opposite reason as you - inconsiderate-ness throws me into a passive-aggressive rage. It's bubbling up just reading your sentence describing yourself as free-spirited!

I do think people who go nuts over standing desks probably have never worked jobs where sitting is actually not allowed. At the same time, sitting for that length of time is actually physically bad for you, so there's probably a middle ground somewhere.

I agree. I really thought it was only appropriate when something is in the "Orientalist" category (as in the specific art/decor movement) which you'd then describe as such. I think describing a rug as Oriental is the only thing still in popular use but there are certainly better terms for those.

Honestly I think it's considered offensive now in the UK as well, at least in London. The only person I ever heard say Oriental in the UK was the same person who called multiracial people "half-breeds".

Just so it's clear, I'm looking here: http://www.justaddakid.com/category-s/88.…

Honestly the whole thing is kind of a disaster. The arms and legs on the shirts are pretty much all white skin and they only put different skin tones on sports-related ones. I would be willing to buy it's not done with deliberate racist thoughts, but it's clearly a company owned by a white person who has never…

Honestly if they aren't, they have some real emotional/mental health needs to work on.
