This is not a wedding story but I had the opposite problem with my mother.

Ok, according to the wikipedia page, we're both right. Queen Victoria was the first one to do it, and it continued as sort of a "I'm as rich as the queen, I can afford a white dress" type thing

My mother. Who took the opportunity during her toast to give my bride my bronzed baby shoes, saying "This is all I have left to give to you of my Gregory. The rest you've already taken for yourself"

I never should have married the former Mr Crumpett, but I thought I wanted it nonetheless. Ex-Mr C is a misanthrope, and he wanted our wedding to be an elopement to a town in Vermont that had much sentimental value to us both. Then Mama Crumpett said she had to be there, so she and my dad were coming. Then ex-Mr C's…

My aunt is very much a free-spirit. She is also very much a fan of white wine. These two factors collided during her son's wedding, when she stripped down and went streaking back and forth across the massive picture windows of the wedding reception venue. Then she ran into the water to "cleanse the blessed union" and…

I pulled my hair as a teenager (I'd look for hairs way darker than the rest and pull them out- it was a like a scavenger hunt) but I haven't had the urge in a long time. But I'm a life-long zit/blackhead/dry skin picker.

This was lovely. I've been dealing with trich for the better part of two decades now—and it's basically been impossible to find treatment for it, because so few therapists even know what do with it. It's this weird, intense kind of experience that you don't really have a language to describe to those around you.

So, so campy and amazing for it. Earned the R-Rating, too, which I wasn't expecting. I say it was a fun hour and a half at the movies. A Lifetime Original on crack.

My online movie discussion friends were howling over this movie... so much wrong that it's totally right. Get some friends, have some wine, and go see the best comedy of 2015 (well, that's not saying much, since we're only a few weeks in).

Hell, if college boys looked like that I would have had a lot more fun in high school.

In fairness, that actor shaved his chest to prepare for the role.

This is also what they thought a high school aged boy looked like.

35-54. That's pretty specific. What happens at 55?

lol @ u being a journalist

Most strip clubs I'm familiar with don't actually pay their strippers: most strippers I've known pay a stage fee (typically 50 bucks) and take home the rest of what they earn, save the 30 dollar private lap dance wrist bracelet that the clubs sell.

That kind of sentiment in the last paragraph always makes me laugh-sob. If you, the entire industry, were really doing such a good job, your employees wouldn't be organizing. It's not something people do for fun. Most of us would rather just move on to a better workplace, even if we have to leave the industry and take…

Thank you. She has admin rights on the TCHQ blog so who knows, she might pop in from time to time. Yeah the people here that really believe in and foster this community are awesome people. I've only been here a minute but I hope to add to it :).

I'm so glad you did that! Any time there was a cat-related post, I looked for you. You have skillz, I'm glad Rebecca recognized that in you.

I'm still hungover from last night. It's not the worst but I don't feel okay either. I just feel like someone shitted on my soul. Ugh.
