YES. The Americans and Hannibal are two of the most innovative, boundary pushing shows on television right now. That they are continually snubbed is a crime.

I work in a “hip” ad agency and I’ll tell you the all the way buttoned up color is very popular here amongst young art directors. It makes me feel like someone is choking me but it’s usually paired with skinny jeans, heels and a necklace over the top.

You should read the recaps on nymag’s vulture blog. Brian Moylan does them and they are basically better than watching the show

Yep same in my family (Indian). Also we don’t expect anyone to sit still through the ceremony so it’s not really a problem if kids are running around. We had an outdoor wedding and had snacks and drinks set out during the ceremony (it was hot and Indian weddings can be a bit long) so everyone was mingling about while…

So many people asked my husband if he was going to shave his beard for the wedding. He has literally had a beard the entire 5 years we were dating, I wouldn’t recognize him on our wedding day without!

Yes also people routinely think I’m like 2 inches shorter than I am cause I have a smallish build. I’ve had friends who are 5’5 (I’m 5’7) think that we’re the same height.

I don’t think any man would like to be called pocket sized. I don’t think many women would either.

We didn’t know what to do either! I didn’t think we would do a thing with cake cutting because we had cupcakes (no cake to cut) so I didn’t pick a song or anything. So while I was dancing someone from the venue came up to me and was like “everyone really wants desert now so you have to cut the cake” and I was like…

Yes I believe that white washing ethnic roles displays Hollywood’s default racist mentality.

Rue in the Hunger Games novels is written as black - so doesn’t add to your point. There’s a difference between taking a character written as a certain way and switching it to confirm to the status quo (like this Emma Stone character) and taking an ambigously written character (like Louis CK’s wife or Cinna in the…

The thing that is interesting to me is that I feel like they are not advertising their key differential - which is that this is supposed to be high quality streaming audio service which spotify and and pandora are not. My husband is an audiophile and would likely pay more than we pay for spotify premium for high…

Gross getting puked on by my own child is one of the more disgusting parts of parenting (which is pretty disgusting actually). I can’t imagine how disgusting it would be to have stranger puke on me.

Eh, I flew on my own with my 11 month old who would not stop trying to touch the businessmen’s ears next to me (woot middle seat!). I basically just held her and stood by the bathrooms/flight attendants area the entire time and no one said anything to me except to coo and talk to my daughter. I think most flight…

So the thing about that is that the person behind you doesn’t get the entire depth of your seat to stow their belongings. There’s usually something that stops them from pushing their luggage completely against your legs so there is usually 4 or 5 inches of seat area that is yours. You can see this here:

In a lot of modern day India, especially cities like Mumbai it’s very rarely only the parent’s decision and the child has the ability to reject or pursue whom they’d like.

I’ve been to a wedding where there were only two single people there, me being one of them. And you can’t really do that there without looking like and asshole. I did let the bouquet fall at that wedding (cause I was young and didn’t realize what a jerky move it was) and I still kinda cringe at myself.

I read this as Marissa Mayer, the yahoo president and got more and more confused until the 3rd paragraph where I finally scrolled back up to double check.

I don’t think Sandler and Forte were ever on SNL together but maybe they became friends as alumni?

I also used to be a die hard jcrew fan. As in, basically everything I wore to work was from them plus all my jeans. But I haven't bought a think from them since 2013 maybe? I'm buying a lot of work basics from uniqlo now and I'm hearing good things about their jeans too so they might be my total jcrew replacement

havarti is delicious on sandwiches and cheese boards but for burgers and BEC there is no other cheese that matches the meltability of american cheese!
