It’s easy to see that Taylor’s putting something *extra* into her kiss for Lorde.

Thanks for swift response with screenshot! Wow!

Okay, I’ve calmed down now. The Offer Code block is subtle…I just had to look harder. P.S. My order, pre-code, was $55. Post-discount (20% off) made me ineligible for free shipping. Just FYI.

I about to order but haven’t seen where to put the code…help! Only two Highliners left!

Marc Jacobs’s eyeliner Highliner Gel Eye Crayon is incredible. It’s so soft that it glides on, then dries to an almost-indelible line that lasts 12 hours or more. Plus, it’s ultra-black like I’ve never seen. The Lip Creme lipstick is very beautiful, pigmented, and moisturizing without being gloppy. I can’t believe…

Well said.

She was photographed, head tipped back, while lying on the lengthwise end of a jutting plank. Her clothing was draped to disguise any evidence of the support. Another photograph was taken of the chairs, in the same setting. The two negatives were sandwiched—i.e., printed one atop the other. Dark areas in a picture are…

Sorry, I’m not buying it. The history of 19th-century photography includes plenty of doctored “spirit photographs.” It’s not hard to do—especially when at least part of the background of one or both of the images is very dark. The Augustine picture looks suspicious even if you don’t know this simple darkroom trick.…

Because they want the next-best seats?

When a method varies from platform to platform, it’s a helpful kind of shorthand to refer to the phone by its most common name or brand.

There’s a small historic theatre in my town with a stupid, too-steep second screen on the level above the plushy renovated one. Recently I got there real early to get the best (center, 2/3 back) seat. A man showed up and asked me to move. He explained he was part of a large group, though they weren’t there yet. I said…

My mother used a vinegar rinse on my hair when I entered puberty. It doesn’t burn an intact scalp at all!

I remember exactly when the price of Gerolsteiner went from affordable to special-occasions-only. It’s the mineralliest.

And where is the gravitational pull on her earring coming from?

“This…” a tremendous non-word to avoid naming the thing you’re endorsing (rape culture), KLG.

You call that “if” an apology? Please don’t.

I mentored a 20-years-younger woman for 18 months. My guy of 9 years became obsessed with her, she with him. He left me. They eventually married. She immediately became obsessed with someone at work, they separated in the first year of marriage, divorced the next year. So there you have it.

I’ve long been sensitive (sinuses and skin) to the cheap chemicals used to scent so many soaps. Whole Foods’ $4 store-brand, triple-milled Milk-scent soap doesn’t bother my face at all. Love the low-key milky scent and that hard soaps last so long.

Dollar Shave Club has saved me a fortune! $6 every other month pays to ship free a four-pack of quad-blade razor heads. (I’m not an obsessive shaver but if I was I could step it up to monthly.)
