I agree with you, and I'm also bothered by the way these conversations can end up almost criminalizing naivete or misplaced trust. If people went around wearing "I am an asshole, please sext me so I can post it on the internet" t-shirts we might be able to criticize women for making a foolish choice, but that's…

Yep. I hadn't heard of her before, and felt vaguely shocked about that (I'm from the UK, I assumed they would send me a carrier pigeon or something), so I wanted to read up a bit on her. It was like a parody of royal-mad Brits down there; every third comment was talking about what Diana would have made of her, how she…

Yep. I have no interest in her as a celebrity at all, but she's a hell of a lot of fun to look at.

I read an article the other day on Cressida Bonas and I couldn't quite believe how nasty all the comments were. There were even people saying she was far "trashier" than Chelsey Davy, which is frankly astonishing given how mean people (and let's face it, probably the same people) were about her when she was dating…

Walking on sand is hard. Or at least, I've always found it difficult, so...

It's just as much of a downer at the other end of the spectrum. I'm 5'1" and have a short body to boot, so unless it's specifically sized for petite people nothing ever fits well. And many places (looking at you, ASOS) interpret "petite" to mean "18 and slender as a greyhound." I'm currently a fairly small size, but…

Yarp. I'm just going to continue wearing forest green and burgundy like none of this is happening.

This was the first year I've ever done cards. Half my family and many of my friends live overseas, and since I got engaged I felt like I should send things to my future in-laws (which my fiance never does, but I'm festive), so before I knew what was happening I was making a list of people to send cards to and thinking…

When I tell people I'm usually all done with my Christmas gifts by the beginning of November, they look at me like I'm insane. And yes, I do enjoy Christmas, probably more than most. And because I like Christmas, the absolute last thing I want to do in the run up to it is spend it in the shops. I love love love giving…

Wha???? Didn't he think you would notice?

Yep, my family is Welsh and shorter fellas abound here. They seem to do alright, for the most part.

Eh. I'm 5'1", so this isn't too much of an issue for me, but I agree that there are a lot of very shallow women who can get very judgmental over height. But then my flatmate is dating a guy who's about the same height as her (about 5'6"/7"), and my sister's fiance is about the same height. Neither of them are…

I'm not sure I'm totally into her "cooler than thou" attitude, but I agree that this photo is all kinds of jacked up. What does it have to do with your friends that you got engaged anyway? Why must they all be Supplicants at your Alter of Commitment? Ugh.

I would also think you'd want to keep the selection quite light, because who wants to have sex after eating five brownies (of course, the beauty of the orgy/buffet paradigm is that you can have sex whilst eating five brownies, which is a totally different ballgame)? I'm thinking that ideally it would feature a lot of…

"Forgotten Renaissance Thinkers." Or "Favorite National Parks."

They ARE, aren't they?! That was pretty much my first thought reading this. I'm getting quite sick of skinny jeans, but it's been so long since I wore flares that I couldn't imagine how to make them look dressy. Cressida has shown me the way.

Yeah, I have a combination of a very small band size and a higher than normal cup size, so it's been years since I bought a bra off the rack. Everything gets ordered off the internet and in about three sizes so that I can be sure of getting one that fits. Pain in the arse.

This is accurate, but Lawson has never really worked in the food industry. She was a journalist and then a food writer. Not that journalists/TV workers are totally innocent on the subject of drugs. But I honestly think the account she's given- occasional drug use that never developed into a full-blown habit- has the…

You know, this really upset me too! I was trying to explain to my partner why it made me so sad, and I don't think he really got it. I've never heard anything bad about her, she's always comported herself with graciousness and charm, and it really upset me that she would have to deal with all this.

Totally. She's living proof that being born privileged doesn't mean you don't have problems or face huge challenges in life. Sure, she's had more resources than most to deal with them, but she's still demonstrated huge moral fiber and fortitude.
