I thought that nothing on that show would ever be funnier to me than "ladies 8," but "8:45 SHARP. Okay, here's your shirt" topped it by like a thousand. Kelly Cutrone is the only thing on that show that makes it seem like the fashion industry is anything other than flipping through magazines (see, e.g., Lauren and…

This is such a great choice. I didn't know much about Biden until about a year and a half ago when I saw him on Bill Maher's show and I was so impressed I spent the next month talking about him to everyone I know. The thing that really got me was the way he talked about religion: he didn't say anything big, just that…
One of these during-Olympics ads that presumably is being aimed at womanity is this one for a car that is a shirtless guy slowly ironing while he makes a dinner reservation on the phone and says it's for a 6-month anniversary, and then the camera pans out and he's holding up a little girl's dress. I don't get it — I…
This really hits me where I live.
@Russell's old room: Actually, our society did not decide that a long time ago. The Supreme Court just decided it a few weeks ago.
@sweetchilisauce: Is that a bag from stella mccartney's le sportsac line? I remember drooling over some quilted business that looked like that, but I dunno if that's exactly it. In any case, yes, both the haircut and bag are really great.
Here's my fave thing about the traveling pants movie: one year on the red carpet of something, must have been the golden globes, somebody asked Clint Eastwood who he was excited to meet, and he said America Ferrera. And his wife leaned over and confessed on his behalf that he has watched sisterhood of the traveling…
@dotcomdork: I was wondering myself what kind of mayhem would ensue if I sent this over to Apartment Therapy. Two seriously different sets of values on exhibit. I love that site, but once I did have to take a few months off after reading through a huge comment war on the subject of kitchen trash cans — anyone who…
@sableized: My mom said there's kissing on tv . . . even in Australia.
@ingiepop: That is awful, but also pretty hilarious. And it could be worse in the hair complimenting department: two times, a few years apart and in two different cities, I was "complimented" on my great wig by strangers on the street. Which I don't have. But I totally believe that curly haired girls need to talk to…
@retardataire: Believe me, I didn't mean to say that anyone that young — or anyone of any age — should be hung up on attachment in the sense of, get yourself attached to a man right now, young lady. I'm reacting to the attitude of detachment, of approaching every potential relationship thinking, "I won't like him, and…
I read the email, and it doesn't look to me that even she is saying that she was fired for anything gender- or reproduction-related. She's saying it was incredibly mean for the firm to fire her right after something terrible happened to her. And she's also saying that she was afraid that it would happen at that time,…
Moe's sister is a fine writer and those are good points on their own, but to my mind they kind of miss the point of the piece. The depressing thing about it was not so much, gawd, another dude, another asshole. It was that the writer makes it clear that she's (already) come to believe that what she should be aiming…
@ediebeale: You guys need to do a Dad one, too. My dad always asks me things like "what is a holler back girl" and "how does a bluetooth work" over e-mail.
All through college, I wore Navy, by cover girl. I always got lots of compliments — one friend didn't want me to wash clothes I borrowed when I gave them back, one guy friend always referred to me as the best-smelling girl he knew. But then I went to law school and decided it was time to "upgrade" my signature scent,…
If Gossip Girl ever does a 20-years-in-the-future episode, they should get Gwyneth with this hair and eyeliner to be Little J, all growed up.
The way he says her weight reminds me of a few years a go when Arnold Schwarzenegger was making a speech and trying to make the point about how he loves women, all women, any shape and size, whether they weigh 100 or 150. His conception of the whole range of womanhood is 100 to 150 pounds. And then on that really…
