Right? YEARS later, I still feel mortified by some things that I've done or said, though reason tells me the other person/people involved probably don't even remember.

Maybe? I mean, if we lived in a fantasy world where no one ever commented on race or whatnot, neither of you probably would've thought about it. But I can imagine for her, it's more the cumulative effect that then colors (pun not really intended) her other experiences, like the one with you.
But since it was months…

I agree, although I think being a child star and more importantly, having the parents she has, didn't give her a great foundation for success. But at a certain point, you're an adult and you have to take responsibility for your life, which clearly she is continually failing at. But it almost feels weird to call her an…

mentally or in real time?

Woo! Can I be followed so I'm not grey? :)

OMG, I hit Rouge status during an in-store purchase, and I wanted to crawl under something. The sales associates were all excited, I feel like maybe confetti was involved? Like seriously I was just waiting for some red balloons to drop on my head.

Some people fiercely guard airline status, I live in fear of losing my VIB status.

Finally, a Jezebel vertical to encourage my Sephora habit (I am simultaneously ashamed and overjoyed that I reached VIB status last year)!

18 to 22 are THE prime non- conformist years. That's the ultimate college experience, to get free from the indoctrination of parents, educators and peers. To live and learn, to gain some insight and authenticity. So nope, don't give these girls a break for uber conforming when they have the freedom and the…

1. I don't understand even a little bit how a sorority being expensive correlates to not letting other people wear their shirts.

I second that motion! May I also submit the word 'drat' for consideration?

::gavel gavel gavel::

And that reason is because it would look fly as hell.

I know lots of moms that swear by it. I wish it were unfragranced :/

Maybe a little off-topic but until people stop talking about Muslims with the same kind of racist stereotypes used against Arabs (they're barbaric, violent, etc.) no one's gonna convince me that Islamophobia doesn't have a racist component.

I honestly think she is a reasonable person who wanted to make a career in broadcast journalism, got this gig, and tries to put on the FoxNews persona as best she can.

The thing that icks me about Vaseline is that you're rubbing petroleum jelly on your skin; you're literally rubbing an oil derivative on your skin. Also, it supposedly doesn't moisturize your skin. It just gives you a coating to make you think your skin is hydrated when it really is just making you more dry.

He dances like a good ol' embarrassing dad.

To ANYONE who believes that this wouldn't make a difference, I encourage you to really think twice. As a former frat bro, I can tell you that by hosting parties in our house, WE HELD ALL OF THE POWER. There was a clear power dynamic, especially among the visiting sorority members, to concede to our choices of drinks…

Right. The others were on a journey. Carrie was pretty static but accorded this central role as queen bee. I think that even though Candace Bushnell had next to nothing to do with the show, there was a built in bias in favour of Carrie as the narrator. That is understandable to me. What I could not grasp was the fact…
