I wouldn't necessarily say there are "skinny genes", but it is definitely a lot easier for some people to lose weight than others. I think your propensity to gain muscle mass and perhaps even absorb calories and nutrients plays a part just as much as anything. Healthy diet and exercise will make it that much easier…

I feel like we've been waiting forever for Dear White People. I think they had a Kickstarter campaign awhile ago. I was sorry that I missed it.

Bounce classes? I would totally sign up. Has anyone seen one on Hotlanta?

Please!!!! I love this show. There's nothing remotely like it—quality and content wise.

Maybe Jennifer Aniston gained weight because she was living off KALE for her last movie. So she wanted to eat some cheetos. Good for her.

Maybe someone should start making porn FEATURING pies. Like oh, yea...action plus, then a cut to a recipe for strawberry hand pies. Everything might be sexier with a slice of Mexican chocolate cream pie with fresh bourbon whipped cream. Yum. Plus maybe they could run ultra edited versions on the Food Network.

Alexander Skarsgard and Idris Elba. I just started watching True Blood at the beginning of the summer. My goodness, Skarsgard is a tall drink of water. I've had a crush on Elba since The Wire. Umm, yeah someone needs to find a way for the two of them to be half naked in a field, or working out, or something together.…

Hi, I went through the same process with my son when he was 18 months old. (I had a friend of a friends who was an ABA therapist, so...) Anyway, you should get his name on a list to be seem by a developmental pediatrician. That may take awhile. Maybe up to a year. In the interim, contact your local school system.…

Nope...two kinds of people: my kind and assholes. Pink Flamingos>math:)

I saw them as an opening act for Rufus Wainwright. in 2001. Fantastic show. I had really wanted to see Rufus play, and flew from Hotlanta to Chicago to see him live. It was one of my top 10 concerts. I'm glad their finally getting recognized in a big way.

Also... is it possible that he has a different relationship to being smacked into the fucking ground than we do...or that he has a secret death wish...or something.

I know I'm going to curb this, but...my five year old has a new catchphrase: oh no she didn't. No more cookies; oh no she didn't. Classmate won't share her cheetos; oh no she didn't. It's almost as good as when my little brother would say "what about me, what about my needs?" to EVERYTHING.

Maybe he can sue Miley Cyrus and get his haircut back, too. She can sue Pink...Pink can go after Justin Bieber, and eventually Bridget Nielson can fund a fun time comeback.

I think everyone can appreciate 1895's addition of "credentials" as one of the best terms for the full male package. Submitting credentials. Checking his credentials...perfect. Thanks Victorian era sexuality; )

Oooh, I'll have to check that out.

Thanks! I live in Atlanta now. There's a scene here; I just don't know anyone in it. I'm definitely going to sign up for a class now.

How did you get started then? Was there an open call or did you have friends that were dancers? I joke a lot in my posts, but I've actually been interested in burlesque for a while now. Any information is appreciated:)

I'm thinking about taking a burlesque dance class. Has anyone here taken one before? I kind of love the idea of it even though I have almost no rhythm. It's kind of sad...On my own, the best dancing I can muster is like Morrissey circa "Boy with the Thorn in his Side". I mean, I've got that down pat. I think it be…

Black Matter...is that a precursor to Frank Ocean's Pink Matter? I'm envisioning a vellum songbook that calls for both a glockenspiel and Andre 3000. It's a good song, but harder to strip to...

And is Mr. Kravitz bringing us a platter of fried chicken? Be still my beating heart.
