Mr. Yuck! You win the day, Professor :)

oh man, I didn't even know it was possible for people to think that? She was the first example my mom used when explaining what "yo-yoing weight" meant, when I was like 10. I am so glad this movie is happening. More people need to know about Ms. Franklin and her amazing life!

I don't know Ms. DuchessODork's work and Hollywood can do a lot of things in terms of changing your features and all of that.

reading all these discussions has made me realize something: do you guys ever notice how so many Disney Princesses go through a She's All That transformation? Except for Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and kinda Rapunzel, they all start out awkward and feisty, go off to have an adventure, and come back a mellower (read:…

well no it shouldn't be sex ed, I definitely agree with you there. Anything that's created to be the fevered fantasy of someone's sweaty nether bits should probably not be used as education.

Dudes didn't know what to do with me unless we were having sex in the shower, and all I could think was "ladies in…

me too :) Well....actually, if you are into anime, (and fucked up story lines), Gunslinger Girl is pretty fantastic.

right away your royal queenliness! I am, as ever, your humble squire. :)

i lol'd at 'tarted up' —but slut-shaming's not so good either. Maybe Merida will get into makeup/Juicy Couture gowns once she's become a hero of renown in her 30's or whatever, and that would be cool!

okay, as an Illustrator, I can tell you that changing the entire body shape of your character is not something that happens when translating it from 2d to 3d. You see that her waist to hip ratio has gotten larger, that her arms are more slender/delicate, that her neckline has plunged and she may have even gone up a…

but why only if its on girl junk? They buy that shit when its on boys' toys, and on princes/heroes in 'girl junk' movies. And seriously? Its not like she's carrying around a Sig Sauer

They made her look like a barmaid in the scottish off-broadway production of Highlander: the Musical.

omg, could you be more cute—I mean, Egads, m'lady, coudst thou be more cute?

thiiiiis guy! and now i know what i'm doing for the next two hours

there's a market for that! Other 7 year olds....me...
