Never underestimate finance as a good jumping off place to any career you might want in business. I spent 10 years bouncing around the different HR divisions before moving into management consulting. I specialize in organizational efficiency & process control and at least 60% of the time I don't have any great depth…

When I worked with the companies I was on management size so my knowledge came from (a) direct interviews/observations from the operations and marketing teams and (b) from a lot of web-based research. I say this to explain why I don't have any textbooks or other 'real' materials to offer. But the best site I can…

Read again...there is absolutely nothing snarky in my comment. It is left up to the reader to project their own attitudes and ideas. If you think he's a hot mamma, the answer might be Yes. If you think a critics job is to criticize regardless of their personal attributes your answer might be Yes. If you subscribe…

Seriously, this man is calling out somebody else for their looks?

Callie—I don't know if it's intentional but you do put some of these tweets in the most deliciously humorous order. Case in point:

So am I the only one a bit confused by Dita Von Teese's tweet? As she has starred in many commercials including some for Renault and Wonderbra as well as ones for her own performances isn't complaining about commercials a bit like the pot calling out the kettle's coloring?

Growing up in NM in the shadows of Los Alamos labs, let me tell you being interviewed for somebody else's security clearance in no joy either. Imagine being a somewhat hippy, Grateful Dead spinner, pothead with a latent fear of law enforcement being interviewed by actual men in black. The feeling of holding somebody…

Dammit, I was really hoping you could point me towards my people. I've been housebound for a month now and need to find a non Gawker-based tribe soon.

More than anything else I'm highly curious what kind of people 'my people' are. As I've had sex with exactly 5 men in my last 30 years I don't qualify for wanting to fuck as many people as possible. And since I've been using the same dick for the last 20 years I'd have to say I'm more a boring prude than most of…

No, but what you did imply is men would have no unintended pregnancies if they kept it in their pants. As the reverse is also true (women would have no unintended pregnancies if they kept their legs closed) it is a simple step to assume you agree with the anti-choice brigade who always use this argument to explain…

I guess I don't see your point. If the father is MIA and cannot be located and the mother does not want to raise the child, adoption would be the solution. Ditto if the mother dump baby on father and can no longer be located. The parent still around must show proof they gave a good faith, legal effort to notify the…

So you are anti-abortion with rape exception only? Every woman who wants to exercise autonomy over her body has a lot more options to birth control than the one on-demand method men have. So you are seriously comfortable saying to a woman, if you don't want to have a kid with your one night stand then I suggest you…

No birth control is 100% effective. None. Do you honestly believe a women shouldn't be allowed abortion because she should have used birth control or her method failed? If not, what is the difference between your statement?

#3...so you also believe abortion should be illegal because women should just keep their legs closed?

As long as you're okay with the reverse being used to limit abortion rights. "Ladies, if you accept a penis in your vagina, there is a chance you might make a baby. There is always a chance unless you get a tubal ligation. If you don't want to take that chance, don't put a penis into your vagina." Both your…

From my tiny bit of insider knowledge, the biggest block is the sizing itself. Petite and regular sizes are usually based on an even distribution between shoulders, busts, waist and hips. A size 4 woman with surgically enhanced boobs won't find a lot of clothes to fit her because her distribution doesn't fit the…

Oh yeah...I forgot to add I apologize for immediately assuming you were call 'fat-shaming'. You never mentioned it and I completely over stepped on that one.

I'm in management consulting and have worked with a lot of mid-size clothes producers so not quite in manufacturing but a good view point into the processes involved. And please take this in the good spirit it's being given, but your line of price inflation being related to increasing profits as opposed to lowering…

While you've been in retail for years, I doubt you've been in manufacturing. Fabric is about 50-60% of a garments cost and regardless of your thoughts on fat-shaming, I think we all have to agree more raw material equals more cost. And plus-size clothes often need to use larger bolts of fabric...not just longer but…
