I did think it was kind of sniffy that they said they used an obituary written that far in advance, by someone she actually outlived. It might have been funnier (in the ha-ha sense) if that had been the case, and she had known.

There was a movie starring Ricki Lake...no, not the original Hairspray. Babycakes, it was called. And in it, she (this is before Ricki lost all that weight and got a talk show) pursued and won a gorgeous, slim guy whom she saw at a skating rink one day. I don't remember how it ends, though. It was only on TV the one…

That would make Florida the Florida of the Florida of Planet Earth, would it not?

I'm plain in feature and certainly overweight, and I plan to work that phrase into a description of a man ASAP, just to see how it plays.

This is pretty much what pisses me off about every beauty trend: No matter what the feature, there's only one currently fashionable way it can be beautiful. Anyone who doesn't have the "right" genes is up Shit Creek. Why can't it ALL be beautiful? Big or small, let's love it all.

Try using a lip brush. Load it up with not too much product (you can always add more later). Follow the exact outline of your lips first, then fill in, brushing from the centre of each lip to the outer corners. You should get nice, neat results that way. Don't try to enlarge or reshape your lips, just go with whatever…

M.A.C makes a lip concealer called, I believe, Lip Erase, that can be used to lighten dark lips for under pale lipstick (or any lipstick that's lighter than your natural lip tone). You might want to give that a shot.

Is this kitty crazy? Yes, she is. She's crazy ADORABLE. And the best part is, she often forgets how to cat.

Your monicker alone deserves a star!

Best home reno EVER. And look at all those happy meezers!

I WANT THAT BAG. I MUST HAVE THAT BAG.

I think if I had to do it over again, I'd just fast-forward until university graduation day or thereabouts.

My reason? She referred to Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka as "part of Canada's national identity" in her apology for supposedly wanting to dress up as one of them for Halloween. No, honey, we do NOT identify with misogynists and serial killers up here.

I dunno...seems a tad overdone with those mukluks, somehow. And in the ocean? Nahhhh.

Meerkat? Lemur? Sloth? I dunno.

No one, but NO ONE can ever touch Raquel when it comes to the fur-loincloth look.

Didn't they do that very thing in his last video? Rip off the paint job from a cheesy love-van, I mean?

Blech. Back to the ol' drawing board...or in my case, baking soda/apple cider vinegar wash/condition thing. Seriously great for curly hair, as long as it's not loaded down with a shit ton of product before you wash, and much less drying than 'poo. Plus, it's cheap cheap CHEAP...and did I mention it's cheap?

Fellow curly redhead here, just representin'. Growing up with that AND glasses? The WORST. Aaaand now I'm finally in fashion. Better late than never, eh?

Nah...he wasn't in my class. And I was in too much shock to do anything other than sitting there wishing my face would fall off.
