Ughhh, “hang in there, mama!” Sorry, but I ain’t your mama. It’s the worst. Just because you are growing or caring for a human does not mean the rest of the world gets to reduce you to that.

Yes....this is my concern. I was recently in a Zika country (although the area did not have any reported cases at the time), wore bug spray, and waited the then-mandated 4 weeks before we started trying. I didn’t get any bites (first time in my life!) but husband got a couple. Now, they say to wait 8 weeks before…

Even as a joke...it’s kind of true (not the harassment part, but implications for relationships in general). Guys who are exceptionally attractive are never expected to “date down” in the looks department because a woman is “nice.” Tom is married to Giselle. But for some reason, men think that because they are “nice”…

I think she might also mean reproductively she is “older” and, as others have pointed out, very close to a “geriatric” pregnancy. As someone of a similar age who has recently been to a Zika-country (though no reports in the area I was), I will say it is stressful that we know so little about the virus. Luckily,…

Between that and the swimming in raw sewage I do not know how these Games are going on. I feel so bad for these athletes who have worked their whole lives for this moment and now have the choice of swimming in shit, getting Zika (a virus about which our “knowledge” changes almost daily), or give up the chance to live…

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the previews look like the actor needs to be able to walk for at least a portion of the movie, before his accident. I think that has to have an impact on casting for the role. If he was in a wheelchair for the whole movie, then I see more of the debate.

I am not a mother, and if I could pick and choose the projects I wanted to work on because money was no object, I would absolutely do that. Hell, I would probably choose none and split my team evenly between pool lounging, exercising, cooking and volunteering for something I cared about.

Exactly. She couldn’t say this movie is going to be a hot pile of garbage that I do not want my name attached to, so she said she wanted to spend more time with family. This comment says to me that the script was shit and the management of the movie is already going of the rails. She got out while the getting was…

Yesssss. I want Lainey to Gossip Gene this into existence. I think Harry and J.Law (her other suggestion) would maybe too goofy together, and that J.Law is too off-the-cuff for the Queen/Charles to stomach, but Taylor and Harry would be perfect. She has enough polish to pull of royal duties, her own PR machine could…

I sometimes wonder if these online people are real...or just really good teenage boy trolls sitting in their parents basement fucking with moms who are online looking for support.

This looks outstanding! I am totally going to try it.

I am the same person. I loathe bug spray, but have my peace with the fact that I must live in it any time I am in a potential mosquito situation. I am a fan of the Deep Woods Off DRY spray. It sort of disappears into the skin and doesn’t leave an oily film like other sprays. It also doesn’t smell as bug spray-ish. It…

I think they are both stunning in their own ways. I think Gigi actually has a more interesting face than people give her “credit” for because she is blonde, and am drawn to her slightly more than Bella, but to each their own. (I think Bella always kind of looks the same: middle part, stunning face but with the same…

Are you saying this ironically?

And her brother, Anwar, is the guy on the Teen Vogue cover.

And I think that is her brother, Anwar, on the cover of Teen Vogue for the “boys” issue...

I live in Chicago too and have an unmitigated love of mesh-paneled workout pants. I find them oddly motivating at the gym...like I can see my muscles work without the inconvenience of squatting, deadlifting and hip thrusting in shorts. In the winter, I change out of them before leaving the gym. Mesh and a parka do not…

Yeah, I think I am going to watch it live. I am really hoping for recaps here. It’s crazy that the only reason I started watching this show was that it was free on a United flight. It was the first time I wanted a flight to last longer...

Awww...now I am sad. At least I have UnReal coming to cheer me up.

So, I binged watched the shit out of the first season in like three days... I am talking streaming hulu on my phone under the covers like a kid sneaking a book at night. (Do kids still read books?) It was SO GOOD! Almost too good. Now I have this deep internal struggle of whether to watch the next season live, or save…
