I was actually thinking of a picture that came out more recently, like in the past year, so during New Girl and post nose job.

It almost looks like she went without mascara or eyeliner, which makes such a difference. Also, the bangs vs no bangs look totally changes faces, think about the unrecognizable Zooey Deschanel picture when she brushed her bangs aside and did different eye makeup. I'm guessing this is a very similar effect.

I can't help but think some of this is because Este is a bit obsessed with Prince and Purple Rain. Like, maybe someone came up with the mash up joke first, but Morris Day is probably not the first person I'd think of for a mash up with older and newer acts, so my brain is saying someone on Kimmel's staff knew this…

Yes and no. There are certain things that are considered more feminine in ballet, but I would say that most of what he's doing are more traditionally masculine in classical ballet terms, largely because so much of it is jump and leap sequences. The line between classical ballet masculine and feminine also gets really…

I was seriously concerned that he was going to hit the overhang on a few of those jumps. Like, I'm sure he was fine and had plenty of space and the camera angle made it look like that, but damn.

Seriously. Lived through WWI, the Russian Revolution, WWII in the USSR (including the Siege of Leningrad- one of the deadliest sieges in history), immigrating to another country on the other side of the planet after living in a place that vilified it for most of her life, and then dying because someone whose job it is…

Oh look, you have described the tourists I'd run into in India all the time that made me eye roll so hard I probably broke something. I'm white and American so people felt comfortable saying shit to me like, "isn't India so spiritual, people live so simply, this is so wonderfully trapped in time" to which my reaction…

I've done the same and have found people are generally nice if you're not an ass, even if they have distain for the US in general. I mean, I have met people who truly dislike the US, the government, and its image and who were really cool to me personally, because most people I've met are able to accept that not…

This has been my problem too. I can barely fit their jeans over my thighs and calfs but they don't sit on the waist well enough to not fall off if I sit down. The sweaters are exactly like you described on me too.

The proportions are ridiculous. I'm short, 5'2", but their sweaters are barely long enough on me in the torso while the sleeves are super long. What does that look like on someone taller than me?

That was my reaction. The lightened skin is one thing. The fact that she doesn't look like herself at all is a whole other. I'm sure some of that is that they have weird ass lighting on her made both things way worse.

Weird, I didn't realize the docking poodles was so common. We have three of them in the family (Standard, mini, and toy) and none of them have docked tails and I guess that they're my only exposure to poodles (although true facts, I'd get another in a heartbeat). I guess it makes sense that it would be a breed…

I still want a web series of Ichabod rants about the future/ Abby explaining history to him.

Have they done anything on Grey's about it? It's show that's still relatively popular and is the perfect setting to show something like how infectious measles is and how it can affect different people. Also not an i09 show, but really, a show set in a hospital should address a public health issue.

While you probably need to do the autism comparison because people are the worst, I think even a chart of "look at all of these people who died or had side effects" could be effective. People need to get with the program- this is the 21st century, we have computers in our phones and could end diseases that are…

I actually think this is a good idea. I've noticed in period shows, kids get really sick from diseases, because, duh, that's what happened, but we need more of it. A lot of people my age (mid 20s who are starting to have kids) have never seen most of these illnesses and I think might be aware of how bad the diseases…

And with the flu- it can knock you out even if you're young and healthy. When I was 16 I got the flu and it almost killed me. I was in great health one day, staying home from ballet class the next because of a minor fever, and in the hospital the day after (for tests and lung x-rays, they didn't need to keep me). I…

We need to keep reminding people about how bad child mortality used to be, I feel like people forget. No, it wasn't all vaccine preventable diseases, but a lot of it was. Tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, small pox, flu, typhoid, cholera, TB- all things that used to frequently kill people or give them lasting side…

Right? I mean seriously, infrastructure, schools, paying the people keep things going (teachers, government workers, police, firefighters, etc), the armed forces that the Republican party always claims to support, health and safety regulations, you know the things that basically keep us from being no different than a…

Oh I'm sure they'll find something. I never can tell what they'll find horrible but there's always something too sexual or inappropriate and someone must think of the children!
