Everyone keeps mentioning all the showers he said he needed after sleeping with her, but he only said that after she trashed Kim. I'm not defending his choice of insult, but she did start the whole mess. And his response got her just what she wanted: more attention.

But Liz’s dress was a caftan, not a maxi. Caftans are amazing!

But you have to say they're innocent unless and until you prove otherwise. Presumption of innocence is the bedrock of our legal system.

But innocent until proven guilty is still the law of the land, regardless of how sketchy it seems. If he’s not going to respond to human decency, there’s only so much the law can do here.

I too love peeing, and also avoiding yeast infections! Aren't they the best?

I love you for this! You do you, and you own it! In general, I dislike it when people tell others how to spend their money, but there’s something about the anti-diamond rant that particularly irks me. It’s like, “Silly woman, so fooled by a marketing campaign that you don’t even know what you want.” Ugh! But how is…

Oh god the Mr. Bubble UTI of my youth. It's probably the first medical issue I remember; I’m so glad to know that I wasn’t the only one.

Please, guys still act like this *now*

$10000 and a sentence that could result in release after 10 years with “good” behavior? I’m glad that he got convicted, and so grateful that we finally have revenge porn laws at all — but, sorry, he’s getting off easy. He should be on the sex offender registry.

That’s why you need to commission a friend to do the destruction — either someone who really wouldn't want to know, or a confidant who already knows the gist of it.

By the end of the first paragraph, I was thinking, ”well, I guess I’m creepy, “ because I still have all the text messages from an affair. And then I kept reading the article, and figured I’ve got nothing on this guy. Do I get a pass?

I just think it's hysterical that they're pretending the publishing industry wasn't already in deep trouble 15 years ago.

What if people are uncomfortable with giving cash because they don't want to put a dollar amount on your friendship? Or don't want to be judged for not measuring up to some unspoken threshold? When I was a poor grad student, I hated even buying off the registry in case I wasn't spending "enough".

Exactly! Thank you so much for posting this! You sound absolutely lovely.

They actually said "We have a strict policy"?!?! Way to treat the wedding like a business venture, and the guests like clients. Jesus. (I keep editing in an effort to make clear that I'm not referring to *you*, CPR14.)

Agree with you on all points. But this is consistent with Pinkham's writing style in general. Not sure if that's just the role he's supposed to play for Jezebel, or if he's an entitled, tone-deaf foghorn in real life too (I think he's friends with the lovely Shrayber, so I'd guess not). But at least it's consistent.

A registry is nice because it gives ideas to people who would like to give you a gift. Heck, info about the registry can even be included on the wedding website — AS LONG AS it's clear that there are NO expectations. No one owes you a gift at all, and if they give you one, they are doing a generous kindness, not…

I've been conducting my sex life this way for about a decade now, and I get no complaints. In fact, I've noticed that men seem eager and grateful for the opportunity to go down on me, and since that revelation I've felt perfectly okay with not doing blowjobs. I mean, I can still describe amazing ones when sexting, but…

I am so very sorry that they were rude to you. That's like the opposite of what a Sephora experience is supposed to be.

Second. I've been using Retin-A since i was 30, and I still look 30.
