Are you sure that’s not 3.2%???? If it’s not I want to be medicated until after the GOP primaries...

well, I don’t know about the children, but holy, moly the strollers! They certainly have not gotten down sized since the recession. Now approaching a cross between a Hummer (for baby) and one of those 100 ton mining trucks (for bottles, gold fish, educational toys, diapers, wet wipes, baby monitor, am certain in…

Yeah isn’t Canada supposed to be that place full of nice men? I mean, did Canadian tourism board get a chance to weigh in on this ?

Well, there’s always irony! I like to carry my knock off Mulberry bag, because it’s “tastefully” unlabeled except for the cute little tree, and is faux anyway - so I enjoy double dose.

absolutely NOT. One of my fave things to do is read Telegraph.co.uk to see the Ladies Day clothes and hats for all the big races (Epsom, Cheltenham, Ascot, Grand National, you name it). Always great fun!!

this is even better than Ascot, and that’s saying something!

Since we all love to hate on showers, ESPECIALLY baby showers it seems, with all those silly games, maybe this is an effort to spare all the guests the pain of smiling through all that stuff? Just trying to look at it in the most ahhh, charitable light! Make a donation, and don’t feel obligated to try and figure out…

I thought they were hen parties?

With that face of his, I’m sure any 1st lady will want to find herself stuck at 180 degrees with her back to him full time.

conventionally attractive: pretty but not striking, individual or special. Kendall Jenner was actually born to illustrate this phrase, as is nearly every sorority sister you run into. Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, on the other hand, gorgeous but not conventional. It always seems that french and english actresses are…

hmmm, looks more to me like it is picking or scratching its nose....

Well, I can safely say that while I would not pretend to be trans to get into a bathroom or a college, I would definitely consider it if it meant that NONE of us would EVER EVER have to see or hear from Mike Huckabee again!

a great many are on public assistance, and this is a big deal in Israeli politics actually

they could all just move to Iran or Saudi Arabia, where they and the mullahs would have much in common. And, there would be no problem about the CLOTHING because all the women there are forced to cover too. I have a theory here, that there is a great solution. Three days a week, the men all go blindfold so the women…

go buy a case now, while the getting is good! Just don’t drink it all at once...goes off to corner, searching for self control....

runs out to Trader Joes to stock up for the summer pronto!

OMG yes - Bertrice Small is somethign else! Also Susan Johnson had some pretty major rape fantasy going early on. Also of course Woodiwiss classic TWTD!

Funny! I remember reading The Secret Garden in high school too! And a few pretty darn non-consensual bodice rippers as well, the names of which I can’t recall. But, there was some stuff out there even then. It’s quite funny to be reminded of it. There were some hilarious fantasies in there -like the one where the…

As a dedicated romance reader, I LOVE this analysis. I think you are right about the trope bending nature of the actual story lines - because in the end, the alpha becomes the willing “slave to love,” i.e., the woman wins. Also, when it comes to heroines telling the alpha he’s over sensitive, worried about taking…

loving that tenting of ta tas!
