I don't have much of a feeling about the word cunt (mainly because of my large number of British friends who use it on the regular as is the status quo over there), but that word isn't even fitting for what this girlfriend did. I need to create a whole new swear to describe this lady.

That's a robe a la Francais from the 1780s. Not as uncomfortable as you might think (the side pieces are soft and flexible so it's like be surrounded by throw pillows.

You can absolutely help. Victims/Sexual Trauma services are short-staffed as is. They are always looking for volunteers to help in any sense.

The '00s (particularly 2000-2005ish) were just horrendous. Midriffs, weird tattoo chokers, Skechers platforms, the Avril Lavigne thing, butterfly clips - I can go on and on.

That just broke my heart. I am so sorry for your daughter, you, and your daughter's boyfriend. I am sending all my love and sympathy to you all.

Sadly that was the way at the first university I went to (a small university with a large female population) because they wanted to keep their rape number at zero so parents would feel safe sending their girls there.

I agree. When I finally opened up to my husband that I was raped (two weeks after the event - he had just thought that I had been mugged/beaten up) he was quiet. The next day, him and I were having a few drinks, and it went downhill. I don't remember exactly what happened (when I say "a few drinks", I mean he had a…

Yeah, at first I thought they were the circa 2000 high-top heels I owned (mine were bright orange, knee-high, and had lime green laces - wtf?) but the wedges are cute. If I had a reason to wear them, I would.

That is crazy. My rule for Facebook is "post generally cute things only". Poop, pee, vomit, and whatever else don't fall under the umbrella of "genrally cute"

I've seen both sides of the equation. My old college friend had a baby last September. I love babies (since I have two of my own), but I am sparse with the Facebook baby pictures. I post one every two or three months to give a kind of "look how they've grown" thing, and then I'll post one in between only if it is…

Did you knit the wool diaper cover? Is there a pattern? Do places sell them? Inquiring minds want to know!

That just reminds me of the first time I brought our eldest son (who is now five) to his first family outing. I was breastfeeding at the time exclusively, and my husband's cousin brought his new fiancee to meet the family for the first time. She was a sweet girl but she had these massive DDs in a revealing sundress.…

Also, your local health department will usually do it for FREE if you don't have insurance.

Yeah my mum over-sexualized me a lot when I was a kid to make up for her strict upbringing. We're talking high heels, skimpy clothes, full hair/makeup every day by 13. It's a huge sore point and a big part of the reason we are estranged. Although, I am gracious that I learned to walk in high heels, as opposed to the…

You are actually correct. I just asked my co-worker (who did Marc Jacobs' first runway at NYFW!) and she said that it is SOP for signed models. She did also mention that runway models are somewhat less exploited than photo models though, since sets tend to be heavily chaperoned.

Unfortunately, it's not the same for models. I remember being 13/14 and doing a shoot because my mom insisted I should be a model. The guy was a complete skeeze and it started with provacative outfits and positions and then toplessness was suggested, a la young Miley Cyrus' vogue cover. My mom was so set on me being…

Yeah it goes a little too high. If it went right below the pelvic bone, it would look a lot better. The top is also ill-fitting. It should be a wee bit tighter. There's some serious gaps there.

Misogynists hate doggies, too! RoK had a huge piece on how you should never date a girl who adopted a shelter dog.

Eh, I want to be the Pope's bff and I'm a former Catholic. I don't buy the infallacy BS, but he seems like a fun guy.

I could recognize it was a hoax at first sight, as I am sure most people realized. I just told my husband: "You know what Fox News needs? They need some 19 year-old in their office who can tell them what's real and what's not." I am envisioning a young adult a la Cerie from 30 Rock.
