Yes! this is like a weird hugging mannequin vignette in a maceys window or something...

I think you missed the part of my post in which I stated that most of my students low-ball their capabilities rather than the opposite. They assume that they can do less than they really can. So, in a way, I AM helping them frame realistic goals.

Wonder Woman tries to rip through dress in dramatic fervor. Gets stuck half way through.

The real problem with #4 is that whoever formatted the page put #5 on the same line when each question had its own line before that point. Sloppy editing can and will lead to confusion.

Okay, I have to be honest I had NO IDEA that anybody actually flushes these things down the toilet. Whenever I read the sings in public restrooms asking people not to flush sanitary goods I always wonder who would do such a thing. I think I just went through puberty knowing that you wrap it in the plastic of the next…

I've always thought that CJ was a great character depsite Sorkin's treatment of her. I think it was basically just the sheer force of Allison Janey that made it happen (because, I mean, let me compose a sonnet for that woman).

Most complicated is that when I see myself naked in front of a mirror, I think my a cups look really really sexy. I love my body. I have big hips, an ass that won't quit and these cute, perky little a cups that I find totally sexy. It's when I start comparing myself to others that I start to feel as if I am lacking-or…

Social worker PSA:

And on a complete side note, can I just point out that François Hollande has never been married. He was not married to Ségolène Royal, he was not married to Valérie Trierweiler, he has never been married. It doesn't make the cheating part any better but it's inaccurate and it drives me nuts to see reputable…

Despite not being in any sort of physical danger, Zimmerman still plans to shoot DMX.

Cool. I'm just saying: It's the kind of word I'd shout if I wanted to scare a dog away or summon a hell beast.

I have my own issues with that book, but these paragraphs nail it so fucking well that I can't hate it. I can't.

Something About Mary, American Pie, Shia LeBoeuf's "Happy Time" in the Transformer movie....

I always point out to those men that JFK Jr was way better looking than they'll ever be. It tends to shut them up.

I think he means "discover" in the sense that he made them well known , If he'd "discovered" a white model it would be presumably the same expression , because a model needs a designer to "discover" her before she's well known , whatever race she is.
