I actually saw a dermatologist on tv within the past month saying that unless you’ve gotten sweaty/grimy, you really shouldn’t soap anywhere except your armpits and genitals. It’s not necessary and it damages your skin.

Here’s the link that contains a pic -- I haven’t seen others. Maybe it’s the bad wig/makeup. But the article also says in the 70s version Demelza was offering to pull down her knickers for a shilling. Can you imagine the girl in the book or the current series doing that? So it seems like the 70s producers had a…

I’ve never seen the original, but judging from a snapshot from one of the links above... yikes, she looks pretty, um, conventionally trollopy, not like present-day Demelza.

Maybe the men who would be recipients are not the men doing the complaining?

The tv show is very good. The books are far better. So watch the first season (covers first two books), then read the next few books before you watch the second series.

Darcy, I agree, would not have a six pack. However, my brother in law, who did landscaping, was every bit as ripped as Poldark, and as far as I know never did a crunch in his life. Good “gym bodies” mimic laborers’ bodies. The difference is when you get gym bodies competing on things like Survivor, and you realize…

I shudder when I see pizza slices into squares.

For some people it’s not a big deal --don’t let the scary stories get you down (at least unless your mom/grandmother had a bad time of it). For me most of the time it’s equivalent to the feeling of blushing (mostly facial, sometimes elsewhere), occasionally much hotter than that but really only momentarily…

He has the real degree and was a licensed professional, but lost his license for failing to comply with requirements put on him by the board in his state (TX?) after he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a 19 year old female patient. He says he just gave her a job in his office (which still is a violation); she…

I think what has really sunk them in terms of their inability to respond publicly to truths coming out in recent years is the fact that so many Miscaviges have left the cult. The leader’s own father, siblings, nieces and nephews left, and his wife has been “missing” for years. Jenna Miscavige’s story is fascinating…

Several people I’ve ever heard interviewed who worked with both Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie and were asked about it (because reporters always want to bring them up together whenever they can) said they’d happily work with Angelina again. With an uncomfortable laugh. It confuses me, too, because on the surface…

I was thinking the same thing about the timing. They could have done it quietly and had everything nailed down but the administrative processing (a la Miranda Lambert/Blake Shelton), but she announces on a Tuesday morning? Yeah, that was intentional.

At a certain point he’ll be doing more harm than good, won’t he? Not that there wasn’t already a genetic bottleneck, but wouldn’t it be wise to stop him at 40%?

Was it Frank Reynolds who had the meltdown when Reagan/Brady were shot and he was handed an unsubstantiated statement that Brady had died? He was FURIOUS that anything approaching speculation had been given to him to read on air.

Travolta’s not that discreet -- there are lots of photos of him kissing men (his pilots?) at airports. Not mis-interpretable bro kisses, either.

So... he had 4 million to give, and only earmarked 100K of it for the library he dedicated his life to. There’s a story there.

Yes, I think the shots that capture the bandage are in the gazebo. Her autobiography was pretty interesting. Seemed like a nice lady.

Ahhh, a Jezebel palate cleanser...

She really wanted to get it on with him and he liked her but they both say nothing happened. She was the one “child” in the cast who got to stay in the hotel with the adults, so her experience was very different from the other kids.

She did actually trip and went through the gazebo glass. You can see the bandage on her messed up ankle in some of the shots.
