Someone who is completely wasted, severely depressed, and deeply misses the people he grew up with. Mental illness and depression are so intense. As someone who went through a very intense depression and self medicated, the thoughts that I had and things I said were pretty much just like this. It was really tough to…

That was SO DUMB. It is illegal to harass celebrities' children specifically because of the paparazzi's actions.

Way to screw up her birthday forever after the divorce.

I did. We are good now. He gets it.

Remember before the Internet when people just fucking proposed with a goddamn ring in a champagne glass/piece of chocolate cake/etc.?

How to make a proposal all about you 101

Pft, kid is 18. Two minutes at most.

I worked the drive thru at McDonald's as a teenager. I was the perky, "Have a super day!" girl on staff that I'm sure everyone hated. I'm positive they were staring at my back, silently wishing the swift and inevitable crushing weight of adulthood on my chipper demeanor. Who could blame them?

But surely they could have achieved the same "very specific look" without tight lacing their star to within an inch of her life? The costumes would still be beautiful, the fanciful mood would be preserved, she would just have a 24 inch waist instead of a 20" one— am I to understand that that would somehow destroy the…

THANK YOU.

Right? Like how could they have possibly made this movie if Lily James had a >20" waist?

I am into cosplay and have worn my share of corsets. I think the bigger problem (for me anyways) are the nature of the statement. I just talked to my teenaged stepdaughter about it and she doesn't have experience with corsets or anything. All they hear are the comments about liquid diets and having a tiny waist. It…

Loving all the responses referencing period costumes as if Cinderella is a historical biopic that must be set in a specific time and place.

Once I was at a steampunk con with my friend Monique Motil and her old work wife Autumn Adamne. Monique and Autumn founded Dark Garden Corsetry's original store back in the day, and we were in a hotel coffee shop. Autumn was eating a sandwich and french fries and Monique was eating fries off her plate. Monique said,…

Um... some people do? Or some people wear corsets only at certain events and eating less is just kind of what occurs when your middle section is very tightly bound. It's.... not unheard of in certain circles to do exactly what you suggest.

I've been doing a lot of historic costuming lately (Victorian, Regency) and the idea that she only felt comfortable eating soup while wearing her corset actually... makes total sense to me. The idea that she was wearing "too tight" of a corset or they should have laced her more loosely just-kinda doesn't make sense,…

This is so fucking gross.

Ah, but the full lyric is "Don't go changing to try and please me" which is a nice sentiment, even if Mr. Joel made a joke about it.

Have you read the claims being made?
