It depends on the creativity of the kid, too. I had a fair amount of accessories but that definitely didn't stop me from grabbing a few of my mom's (un-used) maxi pads to use as Barbie beds :)

Excellent point!
"Hi, can I buy you a plate of baked brie or a beer?"
"I'll take all of the above, please! Also, may I put a ring on it?"

YES, this! I want to live in a world where guys offer to buy me brie rather than a beer. #romance

Yeah. That was a shitty, shitty fucking day.

Can't you just picture her marching into the doctor's office, being like "Sir, you are going to perform tubal litigation on my....OH HUSH. I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S ONLY 10!"

As a Canadian — pretty surprised. Mainly because I assumed that the people who had come forward to police wouldn't have recent enough (or any) evidence to charge him with an actual crime.

Absolutely, there is always telling behaviour in those little things. I'd also add that another big thing is finances, too. It's super uncomfortable to talk about, but people need to see what they're dealing with and also observe before commitments are made.

When I decided to get really ambitious about dating, I had an Excel spread sheet of nice to haves, must haves, and deal breakers. This action, in itself should probably be a deal breaker for most sane people.

H&M could use some smoke and mirrors in their fitting rooms. Every time I try something on there, I feel like I've climbed into the 360 mirror on What Not to Wear.

LOL, could Audrey Kitching look less impressed?
She's like "I used to be on everyone's top 8... way too good for this disco ball eyebrow shit."

This warmed my heart and made me realize that despite being female, I'd probably make a way better dad than a mom. My dad joke collection is impressive.

I can't speak for everyone obviously, but in my situation (as the poachee), I acted quickly and got the break-up dealt with stat so there wasn't any physical infidelity. Mr. DMC made his feelings known to me while the guy I was seeing was away for a week. We'd had a lot of issues, so I broke things off as soon as he…

"I save money by not coming here?"

Filing away for future use!

I've been trying to figure out a way to cope with my feelings about Q and these recent incidents, and I think I might borrow this tactic from you — thanks!

Absolutely — I was a huge, huge HUGE fangirl of Q and Jian — particularly when I was in journalism school and just learning how to conduct interviews. He was charismatic and a great interviewer. I've watched his "debate" with Caitlin Moran and Hannah Rosen (which turns into an adorable agree-fest) too many times to…

Ughh, amen to this! Especially when you're not family oriented but your family is huge.

I'm not huge on marriage in general, but every time I squee over cute table settings on Pinterest, I get visions of sacrificing all the stuff I would want to spend my wedding budget on to accommodate a room full of bodies I don't…

100%. When my pomeranian was a wee baby she would get so stoked to say hi to people that she would jump and pee everywhere. This has happened six times and people were so enamoured with her that they weren't even mad.

As a publicist (not for celebs, obvi) I'm delighted to see you gave credit where credit is due. Excuse me while I beam more for a bit ^___^

This clip made me fall in love with her this week!

Every time I'm reminded that the U.S. doesn't have over-arching paid maternity / paternity leave, I'm re-shocked all over again.

100% not trying to be a smarmy Canadian here. It just seems like this is such a fundamental human right.
