Exactly what I was thinking! Don't understand the snark of that post. I've heard other 'curvy' women in the spotlight namecheck JLo's body confidence as having made them more confident. Kim K has mentioned it numerous times.

You should read up on it, it's an extremely sad history. Did you not know over a million (est.) European Roma were killed in the Holocaust? It doesn't get talked about much, but they were targeted in the same ways as Jewish people across Europe.

I was going to point out these facts as well. In terms of this specific case, authorities were responding to a lot more than just her blondeness. However, the point Lindy makes about the media's immediate reaction to this, the commentary that has followed on, and the broader issues Roma face as a marginalised people,…

*Hugs*. The thing that usually works for me (I've been in many a rut!) is doing just one little new thing at a time, and trying really hard to focus on small pieces of progress rather than fantasizing about the major end result. By that I mean, you're dreaming of being out of debt, so just be proud of each small…

Just had a really upsetting skype call with a close friend. We both moved to London 5 years ago, but now I've moved back to the opposite side of the globe so we don't catch up enough. I knew she'd just had a bad break-up, but until now didn't realise how bad.
This guy she'd moved in with a few months ago followed that…

You're exactly right. And also, this Bar lady sounds like a fucking idiot. This is from the linked interview: Her turn-ons include self-confidence, physical fitness, and generosity. "I'm very interested in going out with someone who is big and strong and famous." ... Then, "I'm not at all feminist. I don't want him to…

Thanks! I shall gift it to my lovely-but-utterly-useless, 36-year-old, French boyfriend. He grew up with his mother doing everything for him (his Dad's a great cook but failed to pass it on, sadly), then lived alone for 10 years in a small Parisien apartment eating out all the time... then lived with me. When I had to…

See, I never found him hot before... NOW I DO.

Why do I love Snooki so much? I never even watched Jersey Shore properly, just saw a few clips, but I LOVE HER. They probably have high standards, though." Have I lost my mind, or is she as charming and hilarious as I think?

I feel like a useless New Zealander for not having read this yet... but I've just found out the book is completely sold out here, so I'll have quite a wait to get a copy anyway - haha! Looks like the publisher may not have had such high hopes when choosing how many copies to print :)

Moko, and forms of it, exist in many Polynesian and Asian countries. Having a moko designed and created the traditional way is in no way appropriating culture depending on who does it - is it done properly or is it a copy? I'm a Pakeha (non-Maori) New Zealander and I if I wanted to get a moko I would just need to do…

Great dress! I agree with the others, no necklace with a halter. Earrings, a bracelet and/or chunky rings, and a simple clutch would all work - all in shiny black. If it was me I think I'd try and wear something in my hair, like this maybe? (which wuold mean keeping earrings quite small or you'll be like a xmas…

I would get such a kick out of these kinds of stories made up about me if I was famous.
Mind you, I would get an even bigger kick about being powerful enough to get someone to consolidate a day's worth of news and current affairs for me...

Honestly, could his response to this be more perfect? Mia must be so proud.

In 1995 my friend Candy was at Big Day Out fest and walked past Daniel Johns playing hackeysack and he invited her to join in, and she flipped out since she had all his posters on her wall too. Hackeysack & Silverchair. Could that be more 90s?

I think a lot of people are wondering the same things about her as you. But you should read this interview with her producer. He talks about their songwriting process, and about her development deal. It's a good article.

Her boyfriend's boyfriend.

Sad feeling about Efron. But sadder for Lamar, that article is heartbreaking! Makes me think, for all the things I dislike about the Kardashians (and there are plenty) they do seem like a solid, supportive family behind the scenes. The comments Lamar makes about them sound genuine, and Kanye said similar stuff about…

Oh man, that Drake tumblr is the funniest thing I've read in ages.
