I came here to hate on kaftans (way too much fabric for actual hot weather) but the geometricy black and white thing in the bottom middle looks like something I could get behind. (In the fall/winter/resort?) so maybe there is a kaftan for everyone.

Seriously, my straight, fine hair when filthy and hairsprayed with FreezeIt would hold some of the curl after hot rollers for maaaaybe an hour. I can’t even comprehend how this look is possible with this hair type.

BESTJEANS. I don’t even really look anywhere else these days, I just (try to) wait for a % off promo and go nuts. Currently stalking some high-waisted shorts.

That Tilly sweater was hella unflattering. I love Jenna Lyons but I feel like I just do not get what is going on with J. Crew anymore. The quality is noticeably poorer while the prices continue to skyrocket (except now there is literally a sale every other week, so really you should be able to get anything they sell…

The whole “cash is tacky” thing is cultural. Lots of cultures explicitly give money as wedding gifts and it’s totes expected, easy, and fine. We only wanted money too, but we are from the South and used to people being squicked out by giving it, so we made a small registry anwyay and hopefully not too many people will…

Right? Who exactly coined that phrase, Roman Polanski?

I have nothing to add except thank you for this. Thank you.

In-house counsel here and that was my first thought. Even if they don’t have anyone in-house, it would have been smart to retain an outside attorney to prevent exactly this kind of shit.

I find it best not to question our feline overlords and their endless array of idiosyncrasies.

One of my cats is like that. I think he’s part dog. He follows me to the door when I leave for work in the mornings.

I would certainly choose marmosets over pro-life activists.

Great piece and yeah, that infinity cardboard scratcher is money well spent (and it looks way better than those carpeted ones). Downside is you are forever sweeping up bits of cardboard that get clawed off.

Yeah I’ve seen some added-on sleeves in action and often it’s obvious that they were not part of the original dress design. I’m sure YMMV depending on the quality of the dress in question.

I kept getting directed to various “modesty” bridal sites catering to Mormons (and possibly Orthodox Jews? and anyone other religion with similar rules) when looking for my dress, as I guess “atheist brides who want fucking sleeves” is kind of a niche market.

Too bad my parents wouldn’t just fork over some cash to invest when I said mr. perdue and I weren’t doing a whole wedding thing.

A few guys, but not many, expressed some level of discomfort that I was taller, but if we were together for more than a minute they seemed to pretty much get over it when they realized that a) it didn’t bother ME in the slightest and b) no one like stoned us in the streets or whatever because no one cares. I think,…

I’d argue for the Quiverfulls, bodily autonomy doesn’t exist for female humans at all.

Right? This really makes sense though in light of that post that Jia made recently. The reality is that in their cult, all non-marital, non-hetero, non-procreative sex is a sin, full stop. Whether a kind of sex is ok is not determined by whether the parties consent, but whether Sky Fairy (TM) says it’s ok. Gay sex =…

Oh totally agree that men also get messages of a very narrow type that is desirable. As a tall woman I’ve spent most of my dateable life trying to tell short-to-average height guys “No really, not a thing for me. Seriously I couldn’t care less about your height.” That sucks and it’s good that you found your lady and…
