Me too! I had a very carefully considered collection of Duran Duran posters. Most of them were group shots, but there had to be at least two posters or pictures of each individual member. I put A LOT of time and effort into my walls. As the 80s wore on the theme moved from mainstream to more "alternative" stuff…

Are we sure that is Reese Witherspoon and not Alison Sweeney?

I've been married for nearly 14 years and on the odd occasion I get asked for marriage advice I always tell the bride to keep her own bank account (with a joint one for joint expenses) and pay her own way as much as possible. I'm not sure this would be terribly useful for Kate who is marrying a guy who will one day…

The tyranny of girls! If you didn't get made fun of for having boobs, you got made fun of for not having them. And if boobs weren't the issue, you got made fun of for something else. No one gets out of the school system unscathed.

I had a similar experience in grades 5 and 6 to crawledoutofthesea. I haven't thought about it in years, but now that I'm reminded I realize what utter jerks my teachers were to do nothing to shut those shitty little boys up. It was always up to me to avoid them, or "stay out of their way." Not one teacher told…

But why does he feel that posting pictures of women who are larger than most of his other subjects must result in a "conversation about this issue?" What issue? There is no issue.

It's true that it's hard to talk about fashion without talking about bodies, but I think the problem here is that he has singled out one individual and commented on her body and clothing choices as though she looks good in spite of her body shape. I think there would be less of a fuss about this post if he didn't…

A pretty good episode. Very good.

Zactly.

So this was the last time a black woman was on the cover.

Pynchon-cat says: You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures.

As the owner of both a pug and a boston terrier that was a really heartbreaking choice. Now I know how Sophie felt. #tastelesshyperbole

My doubts about si-yence have now been assuaged. Thanks scientists!

Good point. If I had that kind of discipline I'd be a triathlete with three Ph.Ds.

There was some fragrance company (Demeter?) that made 'manly' scented cologne. They had leather, whiskey, dirt, grass, wet garden, pipe smoke etc. If you mixed whiskey with pipe smoke you got something that smelled like my Dad.

That's what I took it to mean. That's not been my experience with CPP, but maybe she serves some kind of special fashion-y extra fiber version. I wonder if people who dine with her regularly are all, like, "She's serving chicken pot pie again!? Great. The rest of the evening'll be spent on the shitter." Hmm,…

Seriously, it's not even a competition without Boo. [www.facebook.com]

Wait a minute! I'm older* that Jon Hamm?! I don't know whether I'm appalled by that or slightly titillated by the idea that, were I to hook up with him, I'd be doing it with a younger man.

I have a friend who is experiencing this right now. Her partner is unemployed and she's having a real "oh god my life is over I'm never going to be able to do anything fun or interesting or important ever again and I'll be broke for the rest of my life" crisis. I'm sure the biggest factor in her anxiety is…

Re: Rich people sports. The article is not implying that you have to be rich to participate in these sports, but rather you have to participate in these sorts if you're rich.
