Actually, yes, that's my experience too. I've had times when a friend wearing an offending perfume hugged me and then it was ON me all night and OMG!!! Torture!! Hair products, "deodorant" soaps, etc. have an awful effect on me. Funny about the "really expensive perfume" comment because even though I know my reaction…

WHAT??!! This isn't Chicken Pox where once a child catches it they get over it and are then immune (except: Shingles, but I digress).

Thank you for pointing out what's really going on and how this "teacher" is shockingly selfish, unkind and unprofessional. It makes me so sad to think about the implications of what your parents and everyone who works with children see regarding actual cases of poor hygiene (who knows what is actually going on at that…

I was wondering if this teacher wasn't unfortunately one of us highly sensitive to odors/scents sorts? Aside from the fact that perhaps early child education may not be the job for one with that sensitivity, her ANGER and FRUSTRATION over it reminds me of how I instantly lose patience with the world when a…

I'm old so remember Helena from back in the day, and her beauty still takes my breath away. While I'm sure she is not entirely au naturel, it's refreshing and gorgeous how both she and Clarkson don't look like botox nightmares. I honestly feel sad when I see stunning 'of a certain age' models and actresses at these…

Right, as in, "I'm told by The People That Tell Me This Stuff this is The Big Deal right now, so I guess I have to listen to it... but seriously?" Probably the reason that comment got my fur up is because whether or not he meant to imply it, his statement potentially takes TVotR down a peg too because it suggests they…

I'm down with you on Prabal Gurung. The Calvin Klein dresses downthread look like a very bad tailor altered them, the proportions are off and good dressmaker doesn't let that happen. CK should have got its act together and been smart enough to hire her but their mistake.

Stef Dawson (who plays Annie Cresta) wore a emerald, and it was nothing to write home about

OMG, that particular asshole needs a Tina Fey & Amy Poehler "Really??!!" ASAP!

Right, and then you end up looking like a toddler who put on one of your parent's sweaters! Same thing here.

Oh, I totally agree that if anything it's probably helpful when people with clout and experience intervene, but in front of the cameras just isn't the place to do that. Just to be fair to Letterman, it may not have even been him.

I'm with you — I too remember her being "off" for a while before she died and even talk show hosts asked her what was up (I hate it when young, successful women in entertainment are put through that public shaming shit; Daddy Letterman says you gotta get your shit together? WTF?). If anything, it seems like Murphy and…

Exactly! 'Wolf Like Me' just rocks and was popular enough to be used on an episode of CSI! It's not an inaccessible album or band, just, IMO, a really good one.

You've just never heard Return to Cookie Mountain. Whether or not I'm pretentious, TV on the Radio was/is a great goddamn band.

That seals the deal though I never had a doubt he was a douche. I think what he was quoted as saying sounds like, "I'm not gonna bother to even give a fuck about music, 'cause, why would I? I'm just milking the fame thing."

Not crazy: many of his natural face expressions seem to involve his eyes *and* the lower third of his face (it's why he's so great to watch even when it seems like he's doing nothing). His beard covers too much of his face, IMHO.

Yes and report back because my birthday is in Feb!

I had long hair when my ex and I started dating but I always wore it up because it was a pain to deal with. He kept saying he thought I was especially pretty with it up or when it was wet and I should get it cut "very short". Eventually I did, and since I managed to find a good stylist, have kept it that way. It was a…

Oh, I LOVED Bey's pixie, it was gorgeous! Wish she'd kept it.

I'm with you. My natural hair color is light brown, and very ashy and without sun or bleach the roots have an almost green tinge to them with errant gold hairs here and there that could totally look like grays if the light was off.
