I would've just said "am not human, am dancer"

Yes, that's right: I could've had a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, some sort of cool vintage car, an Aston-Martin, a Bentley, a Porsche … and yet I told everyone I was driving around in a 11-year-old GMC SUV with an interior that looked like it was made from Wal-Mart deck chair plastic. Occasionally, I think back on these…

I saw the movie - no need for the hate on it. Yes, it has a lily-white lead, but it's... Western Europe... in the early 1800s... Anyway, this is NOT about her finding a husband, it's about her finding herself and the husband just sort of happens, and she gets lucky when it happens to be sexy prince Robb Stark. They…

I thought Lily James did a great job as Ella. She never seemed like a victim to me - she was strong compassionate and always likable. The three little girls next to me loved her - and according to their mom they were there to see the film not the Frozen short - which to me was kinda blah.

Interesting enough, in the movie she very clearly states that she just wants to go to the ball and has no interest in bagging a husband. In fact, it is the Prince who is obligated to select a wife, as per the dictates of his father and other government advisers.

The swing sequence was an homage to Fragonard (complete with the shoe coming off). There were several Fragonard reproductions on the palace walls. Disney loves Fragonard, his work was also referenced in "Tangled" and "Frozen," which is funny because beyond their pastoral settings they really are quite sexual (so…

I just got back from watching the movie with my kids. It was cute but Prince Charming is way cuter as Robb Stark. He really looked weird and his teeth were way too white and straight. Also the girl was also a little strange looking. Not sure if it was her makeup or what but sometimes she looked really pretty and…

"Have courage and be kind...for where there is kindness there is goodness, and where there is goodness there is magic."

I think that this Cinderella isn't really a "pretty and fragile victim", though. Sure, she's pretty, and she's definitely ill-used by her stepmother and stepsisters, but she is instead portrayed as someone who has her own inner strength from her sense of self and the love her parents gave her—someone who is determined…

On July 10th, 2014, a small, mysterious game called "Do Not Believe His Lies" was uploaded to the iOS app store. Since then, over 40,000 people have downloaded the app. Nobody has beaten it. Hell, nobody quite knows what it is, either.

I've had so many people be like 'you can't do that, Carly. it's a wedding. chicken or fish.'

Uh, I will include it because my time and labor has an opportunity cost that should be respected. Do you know how long and hard I had to squeeze that charcoal briquette before I had a decent rock?

A median would be more telling, yes.

jesus fucking Christ, that's more than I make in a year!

She seems like an incredibly thoughtful person.

I have only one thing standing between me and this amazing haircut.

Another time, my little one elbowed my in the gut while wiggling around and I shouted really loudly in pain - totally exaggerated it on purpose to make that same point - and she burst into tears... so now I'm afraid to do that again lol.

While I grew up in a household where we were taught hygeine practices, I really appreciate the spirit in which this article was written. You have concisely, and thoughtfully prepared this in a way that is easy to understand and presents super important stuff like the fact that it is possible to put on too much…
