...let's say yes.

My husband bought me a painting from my favorite local artist. She gets a nice commission, and I get a fabulous piece for my wall. I got him a 12 year old bottle of Scotch, since this is our 12th Valentine's Day together. I think we are both quite happy right now,

Yes, she's terrible. She's promoting a "natural diet" of foods, all while deceiving her readers into believing they're free of chemicals, even though all these so-called "foods" are made of potentially toxic chemicals like water, proteins, starches, sugars, and oils.

I feel very short and non-willowy.

Yesterday I saw a guy wearing basketball shorts, Adidas rubber slippers with socks, and a wool pullover with Celtic patterns.

All I need to know about it is that some elementary school kid in Texas is using it to threaten his friends. Fortunately his principal suspended him, so everything is ok now.

Dear Ms. Perry,

Remember - everyone has their own set of problems, including beautiful Gigi Hadid.

As if young men can be preyed upon. Last I checked, they were mostly horny and ready for any experience they could get assuming they didn't have girlfriends already.

Circa 2002? Maybe 2003.

I was the Room Service Coordinator at a casino in Atlantic City, NJ. My job consisted of taking orders via phone, creating the checks, assigning servers, and closing the checks. Room service also handled all the amenities for the shows, so I've been on the phone with an assortment of…

i don't know who any of those people are.

One of the things of love about Brazil is beach egalitarianism. No matter what age, weight, shape, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, the ladies are just out walking around in teeny tiny suits. Totally comfortable and happy. Its lovely.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

In the event this ever happens again. Neosporin. That's it. Not chap-stick or lip balm or anything else. A very very light layer of neosporin whenever you remember or it feels dry. Usually does the job in a few hours, and every time I have put it on before bed I wake up feeling better. It never burns or stings and…

Aw, your comment put a huge smile on my face.

As soon as my lips chap, I increase my vitamin E — regularly 400 IU per day, but in winter, to prevent dryness, I alternate with 400 one day and 800 the next. Seems to knock it right out. I also use Burt's Bees lip balm when they are really dry.

As someone who is horribly allergic to lanolin (think chemical burn type of reaction), and given how sensitive lips are, anything you're going to put on your face should be tested on another part of your body first, such as the inside of your forearm. This I have learned the hard way.

you had me up until rendered pig fat. But I HAVE used vegetable shortening out of sheer desperation...

Have you tried making your own? Most store bought balms seem to have stuff to make your lips tingly and plumped, but which dries them out worse after the fact. The stuff I buy now is made by a local gal with shea butter and beeswax and such. Happy lips!

They use camphor and phenol, sometimes. Give you that tingle, which makes you think it's doing something, which it is: irritating your lips....so you will use more! Hence the addiction.
