It isn’t so much body-shaming as totally inappropriate cultural fat-phobic reinforcement at far too tender/impressionable an age. Which may be even more messed up.

Hey SuperHottieHannah!

They weren’t remotely accusatory, Hannah. I talked to Shana several times and expressed a very sincere and genuine curiosity about SSM and a willingness to hear what drew you guys to it (and in your case I would’ve asked about your partnership with International).

She’s whining at Anna on twitter too. She couldn’t respond to earlier inquiries because she’s busy being a good mom.

I’ve read your entire comment, and the only thing I got out of it is that Superstar Machine is even more sexist than the article depicted. Thanks for the insight!

About 2 years ago I was all about this guy from online dating and then it started to fizzle for no reason not long after we got physical. He kept making excuses for why we couldn’t hang out and then would hit me with a bunch of flattery to keep me from moving on. Always asked about my sexuality and “joked” about…

Hi Princess Superstar! I’m sorry you chose not to respond to my email requesting comment but happy to see you here!

This woman is an investment manager at Goldman Sachs! And she believes in the power of prayer! Would I let a company where people believe in the power of prayer to manage my investments?

For some people, with some insurance, and some providers, it’s sometimes possible. But a lot of us are kind of screwed. I live in a town with a hospital monopoly that doesn’t feel like releasing data to any of the public cost estimators out there. What will I pay? Who knows!

“Here’s the worst thing I learned in researching this post: Hospitals and insurers can refuse to tell you their prices, citing confidential negotiations. That means you could call up the hospital and hear that they are not allowed to tell you how much your upcoming surgery will cost. “It’s not universal, but not…

Make America Drunk Again

A foreign beer conglomerate renaming Budweiser “America?”???

When I was in college, I met a man in his 40s who was coming back for his degree. I noticed he liked to surround himself with young girls. One of them was my former college friend. She was very vulnerable to his bullshit. I wasn’t and that ended up ending our friendship. She picked him over me. It strung for years…

Having anal sex was a marker of being a true, fierce powerful woman.

I’m surprised to hear him described as an “unlikely looking” guru, because he looks exactly like I’d picture a smug, middle-age self-defined guru who tries to control younger women.
