Speaking from a career of selling photographs on behalf of photographers who regularly shoot famous people:

I just have to believe that Nick is one of those awful guys who has some unexplainable physical magnetism in person? Like every part of you knows that he’s terrible but for some reason, you still want to fuck him. Who hasn’t been there at least once?

I may have to look into starting the day with breakfast bourbon.

I don’t get the reactions to this at all. Am I the only one here who’s ever known anyone who had an off-putting personal style? Because I’ve known a couple people who routinely dressed in unflattering ways that seemed to go along with a general desire to avoid getting too much attention, all seemingly based on low…

Ugh, I used to be a line cook at a shitty restaurant, so my coworkers always saw me with stained clothes, no make-up, ponytail/bandana combo. Whenever I’d go in on my days off, wearing my everyday clothes and hair down, people were shocked. Apparently I didn’t wear greasy work clothes ALL the time.

Actually, a therapist can help with socialization through behavioral assignments and addressing cognitions that might hinder adaptive socialization. They should not act like your buddy in those efforts though.

About three sessions in, my therapist was like, “I’m pregnant. We’ve got 30 weeks.” And by god, I was out before the baby was.

Yeah but let’s be real. People look for certain markers of attractiveness. Women are as superficial as men. Attractiveness is a subjective and dependent on your target social group. So someone who is looking for a meat head is not going to date a thin hipster in skinny jeans ( I’m not sure if people still wear this).…

Exactly!

I tried to find joy in this, but once people’s pretentious assholeishness reaches a certain level I just feel uncontrollable rage.

This gave me so much joy. All the politely upset people clutching their pearls and getting their panties in a bunch. LORD SAVE US. NPR WAS THE ONE KARDASHIAN FREE HOLDOUT AND NOW THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING.

You know, I am a big public radio person. NPR all day, every day, not kidding. But I know that public radio fans are also the kind of people who send legit HATE MAIL when someone pronounces an obscure word wrong. And Wait Wait listeners tend to be especially pedantic and cranky. So this does not surprise me.

Eh, Chris Pratt doesn’t feel old, though. I agree on Silver Linings Playbook, that was weird.

I love Chris Pratt, but why are they always pairing up Jennifer Lawrence with dudes a lot older than her? She has such a baby face too...

Because they were contacted by a reporter who was doing a story on her not being black.

This is some brave shit.
