I get that you want people to look uniform so that you can identify someone as being a member of a certain sorority on sight, but the shades of teal thing is insane. I was the director of a women's a cappella group in college, and we often wore matching-but-not-identical outfits for gigs. But our rules were like,…

IT IS EASIER TO TALK TO NEW PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE FEELING CONFIDENT

Damn you for shining light on how women can be just as classist, elitist, and racist as men! Damn you I say!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's because he's racist. :)

I can see being peeved if the person in front of you is wearing a beehive, huge afro or other uber-tall hair, because that's just inconsiderate...you know you're going to be sitting in front of people so I think it's polite to minimize the verticality.…

Nah, nah. I spent five years in the military. All the military wants of you is to put on your damn camis, get a haircut or pin your hair back, and take a shower once in a while. No weird piercings, no weird hair colors, and you're generally good to go. Beyond that, they do not care. I could not have lasted five years…

You know what really drives me crazy about the "too tall" and "big hair" situation in theaters?
There's very little reason for this to be an issue...seats in venues really should be staggered so no one is sitting directly behind the person right in front of them.
I get that they're maximizing the number of seats in the…

I had a roommate who always wanted to borrow my clothes and makeup. It wasn't a big deal except he looked much in them than I did.

As someone who does a lot of hiring, I think you have some strange notions of what's actually important in a job interview. So here's a list of things interviewers do not care about (unless you're auditioning for a modeling job): your eyebrows. Whether you have waves in your hair. Whether you wax or shave... I could…

My DIL came here from her homeland in Poznan Pl, and she came in my room one day waving a bottle, saying, "Really funny, you guys!" She had run across some "polish remover" in my daughter's bathroom.

I know. My hair is wavy! If I make it straight, it won't stay. If I make it curly, it won't stay. I guess I wouldn't be in that sorority. Mostly because I'm not skinny, but the hair too.

A job interview that requires you to wear Spanx is not a job interview that any sane woman should want to go on.

The entitlement in telling another woman what to do with her eyebrows. I just — not to be obnoxious about it, but this is how women enact and enforce the patriarchy on one another.

Agreed! I wear Spanx when I wear dresses that might show the line of my underwear, but I wear a 3X Spanx when I do that. I normally wear a L/XL in clothing, so to get the panty-hiding effect without the tube effect, I have to wear a size waaaaaay bigger than recommended. I'm not sure I could even squeeze my lovely,…

She talked about it in other comments, if I recall correctly. The woman knew, and was actually the one who told the bride. They had a conversation about it at the time, and the bride admitted she didn't handle it well by not calling her back ever, but also that the bridesmaid didn't handle well the fact that she…

In other news, the sky is blue.

These were my thoughts too. Read that comment on the original article and it made me very sad for the friend and really dislike the bride.

Yeah, I tried, but everything she said was so tinged with sadness that I felt this was just the first man to show interest to this desperately lonely girl, and so she jumped at him (and that he took advantage of the power imbalance/attraction).

They were in contact for about a year when she was 4 until she was 5, then nothing. She complains about her mom locking her down, but I wonder now if her mom sensed something wasn't right.

It's all so very V.C Andrews.

I'd really like to hear how anyone thinks this is okay ESPECIALLY the dad. Like, his confused teenage daughter is weirdly attracted to him... okay... now is the part where you shut that shit down, not where you hook up with her.
