In the ad she looks like a lady wearing makeup—her skin tone is evened out, there's no visible freckles, her eyebrows are filled. In the photo, she looks like a lady not wearing makeup. ——> ScAnDaL!!!

Having knowledge of the club scene at Princeton, including this one, it's not a once-every-few-weeks things for these kids.

Note that I didn't say that they "all must be unhappy". I accept your proposition that unhappy people have all kinds of different ways of expressing that unhappiness. One of those ways is, quite often, binge drinking and drug abuse. Even in college, which, for whatever reason, we have made a safe space for behavior…

That's totally not the point of my comment? The article makes a general statement, a couple of times, that these people are happy, despite acknowledging their behavior is gross and boorish and antisocial. I don't think that it's accurate to say so, but I also don't think it's necessary in order to defend their…

I think that they do feel pressured to act a certain way, actually. As do their male counterparts.

I wouldn't say that the point of the piece is to say that it's healthy, and didn't. I remarked on the multiple references to the supposed happiness of the subjects. The article essentially equivocates—admitting that these people are "jackasses" who "barf in the streets" and are "boorish", but then simultaneously…

The people I know represent people very similar to those in this article: in an elite university, probably highly privileged, socially successful, etc.

"Partying", in this context, means drinking and using drugs to dangerous excess. While that may be a stress-reliever, it's an unbelievably unhealthy one. I know students like this—overprivileged, overstressed, without much outlet—I was a student like this. It's not happiness.

I find it interesting that you need to say that they're "happy" in order to defend the behavior. Few people I knew like this in college—male or female—were, in fact, anything resembling happy.

And you dine out on. . . being a slave to the diet/processed foods/"toning" industry and the prevailing American cultural norm of a sedentary lifestyle? Congrats, you win!

Or just be a responsible person, make reasonable choices, and think rationally about food, exercise, and health. I can't guarantee immediate weight-loss, but you will be healthy and sane! I don't read weight-loss articles, I don't follow any diet, I don't cleanse, I don't have a gym membership, I don't starve myself,…

Diet Coke is disgusting and toxic and unnatural and I fucking love it. My greatest small luxury is buying those tiny glass bottles of Diet Coke.

The phrase "third-worst country in Asia for gender inequality" is confusing—I assume you mean that India has the third-highest gender inequality in Asia, i.e., that it is the third-worst country in Asia for gender equality.

The cups on Aubrey's dress look vaguely like unbaked crescent rolls, and I don't understand the weird bustle on Bilson's. Not cute.

I wonder if the Royals have forced the elder Middletons to dress posh, or if they're just embracing their elevation?

That means that physical activity generally plays a relatively small role in weight loss and health as compared to eating habits.

I'm always just distracted by the horrendous overacting—Charlotte's over-the-top breathy eyelash batting, Samantha's ridiculous purring—and the sheer implausibility of everything from the plotpoints of individual episodes to the lives of the main characters. It's insulting that an idiotic show is supposed to be the…

So the jurors should have literally done nothing for four weeks but sit in separate hotel rooms, staring at the wall? And are allowed not even a tiny semblance of normalcy, merely because they are required to be accompanied by deputies everywhere they go? Ridiculous. I rewrote your headline for you, to make it…

Okay so I used to love Diet Dr. Pepper and then my cousin told me it tasted like soap and ever since then it's tasted like soap to me. So now I just drink Diet Coke, ideally from glass bottles because I am sophisticated.

It's not a "series" of celebrities interviewing other celebrities; it's the founding premise of the magazine!
