He looks so sad. So so sad. And someone posted below that he's been at the shelter at least a couple months :(

I forgot about that! That was based off the fact Blair went to St. Patrick's in NYC and prayed ONCE right? After Chuck like, skidded off the Hollywood Hills in a motorbike? And there was like one throwaway line from Serena about how Blair wasn't religious.

One of my friends who is exactly this video makes videos of herself and her pretty vintage friends in fields and such, with a "witchy" edge, and they are lovely ladies but it's so...overwrought. Anyway she will post periodically asking people to come on "photo adventures" and such, which receive MANY positive…

I am anti-fur for mainstream fashion (fur OK for those who live in super-harsh environments and don't contribute to an "industry"), and that is my exact reasoning. You're promoting fur as fashion, vintage or not. Fur also just disgusts me too much to wear and handle.

Hahaha, that whole scene with Chuck, Blair, and Bart on top the Empire (State Building? Hotel?) was amazing. So over the top (literally). Nate totally eye-rolled half his lines didn't he? I shall forget the stupid follow-up montage at the end ever happened, however.

Oh noooo I FINISHED Gossip Girl, and it was hilarious. It was just so bad, but I kept watching because the writers knew their television/film history and would throw little lines in here and there and it could be very witty and yet, so bad. The episode before the last is so funny. Consider watching the last few for…

I'm into the cat but I'll miss the iron! What about the wheelbarrow? No one likes the wheelbarrow. BOO NO IRON/ YAY CAT.

That is ADORABLE!

It's been making me so mad too! I tried posting this article to FB and ended up basically writing an 1000 word response to every comment. :/ There's SO much sexism wrapped up in this, and many people forget as women we're ALREADY used to being safe basically nowhere, which means it kinda takes a lot to feel…

Ha! Yeahhh, I knew no Japanese and I'm sure it would have been easier, especially navigating and eating, but it wasn't exactly a huge issue. Also: out-loud translation app on my iPhone was a huge help. I'd type in like "Can I store my bags here while I wait for my flight?" and it would sound it out for whomever.

EDIT: obviously it really sucks what happened to your friend and that it ruined a wonderful city for her. One of my friends was nearly kidnapped off a school tour in Morocco and she can't even smell roses without panicking now :(

ACK, yes, I hate when I suggest splitting up and others freak out. I've traveled so much on my own at this point I have no idea how I'd react to that now...at the time I was pissy enough, it was Paris, and everyone was freaked out. We'd already been there a day or so (we'd taken a train from the UK so we didn't…

Cruise ship. That is probably the best way to get scammed and harassed as a very obvious tourist ASAP. :/

Thanks for the reply! Abrasive sexuality...yes, that is mostly what I worry about when traveling - not being able to deflect advances, etc. At the moment I'm stuck here because I need surgery on my arm (uggghhh) but afterward I'd love to teach in a public primary school in Yunnan or Sichuan, which I guess fill their…

Oh lord, see I would not be OK with things if my parents were worried about the plane. I am convinced I will die every time I get on a plane, and I must medicate, because I love travel more than I hate flying. But JAL/ANA only? Haha, you'd think he'd be cool with Korean Air or Singapore Air (aka fancy air). I won't…

When people bring up the groping I can't help but think "Really? If that's the biggest issue I have while traveling alone, fine." I've been groped countless times on the T in Boston!

Ah I never really thought about hiring a driver/fixer to travel India...that is definitely something to look into, thanks.

My parents were too, but it was just ignorance and worry because it was so far. I'm Italian, second generation, grew up Roman Catholic (BTW Rome, was scary). We got into a huge fight about Japan, before that Singapore before that Turkey. It's really just about their daughter going ANYWHERE alone...they really want me…

Indeed. I just posted that everyone back home FREAKED out when I planned my trip last year to Tokyo alone, and in addition, to film and photograph a protest on 3/11. The push-back was baffling. I felt safer in Japan without knowing the language than I do in my small Massachusetts town. I also said in my post I've felt…

Yup. It gets worse for me as I get older and more adventurous in my travel goals...but at this point I've been to 20 countries alone (mostly Europe) but the one I got a lot of flack for was Tokyo. I went to film and photograph a protest on the 3/11 anniversary. Oy. I didn't consider Japan much of a risk at all for a…
