Good Morning, Stassa. So lovely to see an author up this early! If you have a heavy day ahead of you, just know that we all appreciate your hard work!

I just need the security of feeling covered. I sometimes even want my ears covered. Lucinda Williams wrote about it: Heavy Blankets.

I’m like this and I agree its weird. No matter how hot I am I need to be covered. I don’t really care how thick the blanket is but I need one to feel comfortable. I think I don’t like moving air or something because I also need the door closed, I can sense the air pressure and acoustic difference when its open.

It doesn’t fit.

And yet still not actually comparable to genocide.

Damn girl, you chill.

It’s a legit “what the actual fuck”, no chilling required. The article points out that Bravo had the delicacy to tape a woman’s breakdown at the news that her mom died, and then aired promos on Mother’s Day. It’s not beyond the pale that they’d’ve actually broken up the scene with ads since it’s so dramatic.

No, I was saying it was fucked up that Bravo would cut to Whitestrips right after she found out her mother died.

I was 8 years old when my Grandfather died (in a really freak manner). We went out to dinner at a pancake place (which is now converted into a Teen Dance Club). We got home and the phone rang. It was my mom’s cousin Dean. My mom took the call. The scream/yelp that came from my mother has stuck with me to this day.…

Terry Gross is a lady.

Diamond Dogs is my favorite album of his, which seems to make me an oddity among his fans.

David Bowie already has a song called 1984 and that’s the only one the world needs.

He’s not refusing HER neck tattoo, he’s refusing ALL neck tattoos. This is a fairly common policy in tattoo shops, and she should have done some research to find someone who would do a neck tattoo instead of just walking into a random shop, and then throwing an entitled, hissy fit when the people there wouldn’t do…

She just really comes across as the Hipster wanna be tattoo girl. I hate those girls, but thats another story. Someone watched too much LA INK.

Yeah, as a heavily tattooed woman I agree. I’ve had most artists make recommendations about placement and style to me. In fact, I’ve had sort of the anti-Dan experience (with a guy who also refuses to do hand and neck tattoos on people who aren’t already covered in tats, btw—it’s seriously a common policy) where my…

I respect that artist who refused. For whatever reason.

The fact that you admit to having alcohol beforehand makes me side-eye a little bit...that and the other tattoo photos, not sure what the point was there. Some of them are really good. But if you want that tattoo so badly I’m glad you just kept going until you found someone who would help you. Artists have every right…

The logic he employed is common in the tattoo world. I have had tattoo artists strongly persuade me to get one tattoo over another, placed here instead of there. I listened. Had I not, I would have kept shopping. You threw a fit and as far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with you being a woman. You’re attempt to…

This isn’t surprising. Nasty Gal is known in the industry for being a terrible place to work - incredibly cliquish and with leadership that has no idea what the fuck it is doing. It’s particularly unfortunate that its founder has branded herself as a model for female leaders.
