Chemical castration? Why not?

I'm a vegetarian, but.. props for showing a picture of bacon from Scandinavia! Looks like Swedish, maybe? There's a Coop grocery store down the street from my apartment.

@Seize: I did the same thing - barely looked at the left-hand page because I see that imagery everywhere I go. But the right-hand pages were captivating and incredibly sexy.. wow..

So if "fashion can flatter any figure," then why doesn't every issue (of any magazine, for that matter) feature plus-size models like Crystal Renn? She looks incredible, and is the freshest thing that mag has seen in a long time IMO.

Heads up, designers: Bring back the cloak! I want one just like this..

"..but all I feel is kinda let-down"

Why even bother going on a talk show if you refuse to answer any questions? I mean, I get it: Attention. But, still.. #larrykinglivecarrieprejean

Ugh, I hate it when people invoke the name of Lewis Carroll when the subject of young girls comes up. In my brain, he is a sensitive genius and not a child molester! Sticking my fingers in my ears now - LA LA LA can't hear you!! #highglitzbook

@Faster.Pussycat: I didn't have endo, just abnormally huge fibroids. But my mother suffered from major endo her whole life and finally got a hysterectomy in her 40s. Although her pain is less, there is a lot of remaining scar tissue in her pelvis so she has to deal with all kinds of digestive issues as a result. …

To the woman with endometriosis: So I'm 28 and just had a hysterectomy this summer (I had major major fibroids and sex was incredibly painful for years). I don't really have any advice to make it less painful (switch to lots and lots of oral for now?) but I can tell you that even a few months after this surgery, sex…

@unmoldednicole: When I was growing up, I didn't know what Photoshop was, and - call me gullible, naive, whatever - I really thought the women in cosmetics ads had skin like that. Perfectly smooth, even, and dewy, no blemishes, no freckles. Hello, dysmorphia.

I get insecure when perusing women's mags, but it actually has nothing to do with body shape. When I was a teen, I had terrible skin (cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads, etc.) It took years to clear up and I've made peace with my skin now.

A talented young thing blowing away the competition? Lucky for her she's not black and muscular, or they might want to verify her gender and make sure she's not a man.

@Steve_Holt: "Get out and stay out!!" You know, um out...doorsy.

I maintain: God clearly loves Minnesota. Those cold winters just keep out the riff-raff, doncha know.

The thing is (at least for me): I love love LOVE print. Give me something tangible that I can tuck in my bag and read on a whim. And I wouldn't even mind about the extra cost of print vs. digital **if only the content was any good**

@bluebears: To be fair, there also plenty of married people who advise me to find someone and get married likerightnow, and that is equally irritating.

Meanwhile, my Norwegian friends are looking at this and shaking their heads at the ostentatious behavior of those completely unintelligible Danes.

@crotchety: I think the last time this type of testing was required of Olympic female athletes was in 1986. Since then, I believe it's been on a case-by-case basis.

But that one scene in Public Enemies where Johnny Depp punches a guy at the coat check because he's interrupting their conversation? HOT.
