WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE COME GATHER THESE LADIES.
WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE COME GATHER THESE LADIES.
Same, my Gma has a set with handles she got in the mid-1950s. Still has them in the original box they came in and uses them every year. Aw, now I miss my Gma. Gonna give her a call!
Is this really unusual? My mom has some from back in the ‘60s that have handles, and they are amazing. Maybe it’s one of those things we used to do, but then some asshole decided the aesthetics would be better without handles, and now we’ve all forgotten the simple beauty of handles on cookie cutters.
Surely you jest. Do not tease this Millennial so. For I have journeyed far into my thirties and despite gainful employment and a 401K, I feel as if a real home (screw my condo) and actual dinner parties that don’t involve drunken revelry and Cards Against Humanity are so far beyond the pale that I shall never…
Gotta admit, that is pretty smart.
I agree that it is a mistake, but I am definitely excited about expanding my coverage a bit and having more freedom with my columns! I’m trying to look on the bright side, but it is still sad. Ideally, I would love to get a community over there similar to what we had over here. The community here is what I will miss…
Jane Marie also deserves your clicks!
You’ll have to ask Gawker that.
This will be the last Behind Closed Ovens to appear on Kitchenette. It will not, however, be the last Behind Closed Ovens. Starting next Monday, November 30, the series will continue on Wonkette. If you’d like to read more crazy restaurant stories in the future, feel free to tune in over there at your…
I’m going to miss you most of all! How will I know if I should love or hate the products in my beauty boxes?! Honestly, sometimes I wait to try them until I read your column. Is that weird? I don’t care. <3 you!
Brandi - I loved your posts, and am really sad you won’t be here anymore. Like a lot of the writers on Millihelen, you were so great with the readers and commenters, and you showed so much respect for people. I wish you a lot of luck, and hope to be able to read you somewhere else.
This breaks my heart. I have had many people ask about my column. I will keep writing it! I am trying to find a site to publish my column, but, if I have to make my own site, I will. To keep tabs on my reviews, follow me on Twitter (brandikirch), Instagram (brandikirchgessner), or Facebook (Brandi Morgan…
But from what I’ve read they planning on launching a new beauty and self-care site or whatever. Which I don’t understand, because it will still be Jez affiliated, from what I understand, so why not just stick with this one?
Losing Millihelen is the Deepest Cut of all.
Damn I loved this blog. Long may it live in our hearts and minds! Jane, thank you so much for giving me the chance to contribute; it has been an absolute pleasure.
My rage at the loss of Millihelen has started to mellow a bit, but hot DAMN! I’m still mad. As others have said, this was a welcoming, non-judgy little part of the Internet for Laydeeeez, full of insightful commenters bringing their own real world experience. I met Don’tBeSuchaBoobPunchTina, my fellow fortysomething…
This has been my favorite place on the internet. I am really sorry to see it go. And for the record, I think Gawker Media is making a huge mistake here (lots of mistakes on their part this week, actually).
NoooOOoo! Behind Closed Ovens is at least half the reason I don’t shove my head in one on Mondays.
Flygirl doesn’t have an official editor Gawker can fire, Jessica Coen left a few weeks ago. They’re also firing Mark Shrayber (a big loss imo, he is hilarious and seems very sweet), CA Pinkham (BCO is one of the most read columns across all Gawker sites) and Tracy Moore, with a very distinct voice in Jezebel.…
Ugh so gross. That part stood out to me too. Gawker is going to focus on manly politics and serious things, while Jez gets fluffy “lady” things.
