Right?! I would be "poor unfortunate so-oul!"-ing all the time if I was her. And breaking it up with the occasional Etta James' and Nina Simone covers. I think Ursula could rock Sinner Man (I think that's Nina, at least...).

I LOVED and alternately hella FEARED Ursula. I thought she was by far the fiercest villain in the disney catalogue. I loved her tentacles. I loved her luscious cleavage and big lady-ness. I dunno, this just makes me sad.

GIRL I am so behind sticky notes! I am so absent minded, and they are so useful when I've got a million things on the go!

Hey, we can be mirror buddies! I used to stand in the mirror and hate myself too - I hit my highest weight ever last year (200 lbs) and have since lost quite a bit of weight (don't ask me how much though, I threw out the scale- I'm not sure, though I'm now a comfortable size 11/12 as opposed to a size tight size 16).…

As a vegetarian for the better part of 7 years, I can say that there will be times when you fall into the easy carbs route. The problem with being a veggie is that the filling foods tend to take effort to make, or are empirically unhealthy. I still find myself falling to the trap sometimes. But the key is to figure…

This reminds me of a play I read in high school called ten thousand clowns (I think) about this guy who didn't want his son to grow up to be a list maker - Lists seem so reassuring - like if they're on a list then obviously, they shall magically be accomplished. Lists are safety blankets. I don't have anything against…

Or a graphic novel. I'd read the crap out of that! I see it drawn in this style:

I do this too. A lot, like one other poster said, about surviving the zombie apocalypse. I even got the wife of a friend of mine to build me a work out plan (She's a personal trainer) designed to help me survive the zombie apocalypse. I'm sure that her husband got a few looks ("It's Cicero, honey. She's weird. She…

...Is it bad that I want Amy Sherman Paladino to scrap Bunheads and go with this for a TV show ? Or that I kind of am DYING to write it? It would be adorable. I would cast the girl who plays Lydia on the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. My life would be set.

A suggestion for you then - Why don't you skip this month (and maybe the next, or however many) until you see a book you're actually interested in? Or when they've got things a bit more established, suggest something? And as for "typical lady!lit" you could, if you're willing/have the time/it won't drive you crazy,…

...But what kind of uniform? are we talking army-navy, or something more urbane, like a suit?

That is amazing, and should be turned into a sitcom. Alternately, a little cruel and definitely a lot unusual, but I appreciate such things.

I think being armed with a little fore-knowledge as to when she can shrug off society's stares with a toss of her hair and a non-conformist attitude, and when she should really notice the creepy dude following a few paces behind her staring is key. Obviously, you don't want to change her or take away her badass rebel…

This is true, but I'd still suggest talking to her about it - if you think she might have trouble differentiating, maybe opening up a dialogue is a good thing. However, you are a parent, and more over, her parent, and I am not, so your choices are ultimately better informed than my opinions ;-).

I would suggest talking to her about it. My parents did the whole "Too tight, too short, take it back!" stuff without giving me a real explanation as to why (because I was a 13 yr old with the body of betty boop and fast approaching an E-cup) and I just snuck stuff to wear anyways.

And some ladies. I like a man-bum, not gonna lie.

Watch the film and giggle. A lot.

Like a street-walking hussy strumpet-slut? I hear those scarlet women holler and cry and give birth with their legs wide open! With the Mens present and everything!

Sometimes I'm so proud of my little city and it's transformation from stodgy conservative redneck western backwater into a youthful, vibrant, liberal-minded center of emerging western-Canadian culture, and then, something like this happens, and I'm not suprised. It's like a Calgary spring - somewhere in February, the…

That's the ideal man? Really? My god I must be setting the bar high when I add "Funny, confident, mildly attractive, possibly well read guy who likes comic book movies" to that list. This explains my lack of long-term boyfriends for the past 3 years. My vagina is DOOMED.
