Oh I’ve got a good gender reveal story. My sister’s sister in law had gotten knocked up by her asshole boyfriend of 4 months. He had two sons who were somewhere in the 7-10 range. Both of them had been asked repeatedly and they were adamant that no girls would be tolerated. Hahaha how cute.

Yes. I mean I get the appeal of a fun cake after a dinner with family. But inviting people to an actual party? Hell no.

Ugh. I knew it was a pathetic number.

Woah. I read all those books in middle school/ high school. Considering the time periods I bet there are tons of sex scenes with prepubescent/teen girls that would be telling. But I can’t remember a ton about any except mists of Avalon.

Those are the hindsight moments where you wished you just went “alright then, so in so is out. Who wants a group picture?!” Possibly asking him to please take it. But I’m a similarly sensitive person and I always feel the social sting and come up with the deflection too late.

A young teen in Britain (I think) kept a vlog of her journey with brain cancer. I watched a montage someone put together after her death and I was bawling at the end. Watching her as a bright presence move on to her slurring and struggling to express herself was horrible.

That’s very difficult thing to balance. The temptation is to shake them and point out the obvious (or be like please don’t put him on the birth certificate), but in some ways you have to back away from involvement. It’s hard when you see the red flags and they don’t, but push too hard and they’ll cut you out. Make…

I would also please like him to look up the word insurrection. And to write an essay on how most of those ended.

Agreed. Now I’m wondering if Canada has the equivalent of Coogan’s law. Though even that only makes them save a measly 20% or something like that.

They did. But then continued to  comment on it as if it were a mistake where I see it as clearly the intention. They know their market and the buying power of their audience.

I would count teens as middle school and high school. I would absolutely count on many stealing to get it/stealing it. Teens can save allowance/job/birthday money. You’re right about the design but a little scandal will only make them want it more.

Teens save money to waste on popular things. A lipliner+gloss from Kylie is $30-40. It’s a status symbol. They buy it or they buy the knockoff.

Middle-aged men buying luxury cars as part of a midlife crisis.

How many times can you type “smells like something I’d like as teen” before you realize that’s the market they’re going for?

Anytime people point out how celebs shouldn’t complain about fame cause money = easier, I think about this. In some ways, it’s hazard pay.

I absolutely never said I thought that.

YUP. My brother-in-law had a relationship with a woman that produced a daughter. They broke up when his crack habit became a bit much. She moved away and he gave up the parental rights to her new bf.

My first 2 crushes were David Bowie in Labyrinth and Han Solo. I was 5. When the rerelease hit I was in grade 7 and goddamn was the love reunited. I read all the Han Solo-centric books I could get my hands on. I feel obligated to see this even though it’s likely crap. I wish I felt it would work. We’ll see.

The article says it was quarantined according to protocol. But none the less, the jokes are hilarious.

I tried my hand at Swiss meringue buttercream cake this week and will never go back. Though I did see something about Italian buttercream that I’ll likely have to try later.
