The only time I have ever heard this rumor is by crazy fundamental parents that didn't want their daughters to shave their legs until they were like 18. My parents were crazy, but my mom had me start shaving at 12 and started me getting my brows waxed at 11 because I had a monster unibrow.

I just came on here to mention that exact same thing!

This.

I do have to say, I am excited for my forties but that is unrelated to aging. I got married and had kids young so by the time I'm in my forties a) my kids will be out of the house; b) I'll hopefully have the money to do the fun stuff I didn't get to do. Right now it's not the most fun being tied down with the kids,…

Yeah they're flying to Thailand to elope and then "donating the rest to charity". It's kind of tacky since a) they're asking for corporate sponsorship for a charity; b) not disclosing which portion will go to charity. Look, if you want to elope and take a fancy vacation, do it. If you want to raise a shit ton of money…

He's that wine that wasn't really corked properly, so now it has that grape-vinegar taste.

Yeah Charlize's comment just struck me as odd. Some twentysomethings are idiots and some have their shit together. Some older women have their shit together and others are still in the mindset of a high schooler.

That is the one thing I like since moving South: the sun is intense down here, so you can clearly feel yourself getting burned after a few minutes, which promotes sunscreen-wearing. In New York, especially during the springtime, I used to always get burned because I couldn't feel the heat. Now that I'm South, I…

Yeah, I've never understood the desire to tan. Then again, my brother steps into the sun for five minutes and he becomes deep bronze. I step into the sun for five minutes and I just freckle everywhere.

It's not actually my town - it's just nearby where I currently live (but did not grow up). And yeah, I think they do still name an Okra Queen every year and I know they have an awesome HS football team.

Yeah, I forgot all about the Brazen Bull.

The blood eagle is one of my favorites (I used to be a history major, I swear I'm not a serial killer)! I also like the Roman punishment for patricide: A person is placed in a sack with an eagle, a snake, and a fox, and the bag is thrown into the river. It's quite poetic.

We have the goddamn Okra festival down here, complete with the Okra Strut pageant. Okra is HUGE.

Poor skunk was such a fatty. At first, I thought she was pregnant, but nope. Just really chubby.

So adorable! I didn't realize that skunks don't ever realize if they had their scent glands removed. My uncle was a vet who was trained in wild animals. Someone brought their pet skunks to get looked at the summer I worked there. The skunks had their glands removed but still would stamp and stand to spray. They would…

That is precious! Baby skunks are so cute!

Exactly. And someone tell ladies that the mouth agape look does not work. It's not sexy at all.

What is with the bedazzled darts?

I like the skirt but the top is horrendous. It makes her look a lot chunkier than she actually is. Also, someone teach this girl to pose for God's sake.

Skunks are pretty cool and they usually don't spray if you keep calm. My childhood home used to have a big Dogwood with a bird feeder and a bench. I used to go out there and sit on summer nights. One night, I felt something cat-like nuzzle my leg. It was this fat-ass skunk (probably because it was eating all our bird…
