Unfortunately, the social media was the tip of the iceberg sort of situation. If it wasn't that, it would have been something else (like people breaking into the family car to scatter dead rabbits in it).

I was absolutely floored to hear the mother had remained in Maryville, after it seemed like she was so set to get Daisy out of there. But apparently she didn't want to uproot her boys for their athletic scholarships and opportunities. Which, all things considered, is falling into the painfully ironic category: this…

Weisz, Bellucci, Zeta-Jones. There are a lot of older, voluptuous women in Hollywood who'd be amazing in this role. Perhaps Jolie should consider directing.

One of the reasons I'm grateful for minimum heat requirements for renters on the East Coast.

They're just starting to bring in the other Cupcake varietals at my local wine store, so I haven't had (or found) their Marlborough yet, although I saw they have one. I don't think I've seen Nobilo or Whitehaven yet, but I'll have a look. (Or have the fiancé look while he's back in Oz, since for them, Marlborough…

Good to know, thanks!

Sauvignon Blanc really needs the mineral water from Marlborough to become AWESOME. (Side note: my wine store was out of almost all the Marlborough SBs except Starborough and Monkey Bay this weekend. The ever loving WTF? STOP DRINKING MY WINE, PEOPLE!)

I've been on a Marlborough region kick, which for where I live mostly means Sauvignon Blancs, although my wine store just got in a shipment of reds. I feel an experiment coming on.

Hemifacial microsomia is not a big nose. It is not a slightly tilted nose. It is not "ethnic." It is an actual, serious medical condition. At least do everyone the courtesy of consulting Wikifuckingpedia before you start spouting off ignorantly.

She was diagnosed with hemifacial microsomia - her face was always going to be underdeveloped.

You realize more was wrong than just a "weird" nose, right? People waving this off as a nose job seems to misunderstand one of the fundamental issues with hemifacial microsomia: that people automatically assume the person affected is mentally handicapped as well as suffering from a physical deformity. Are you really…

No, we're calling noses that bend radically in one direction and a lack of chin facial deformities. And a host of others can accompany hemifacial microsomia.

But there was something actually and objectively wrong with her. Have you even looked at photos of people with hemifacial microsomia look like?

Her face won't change, though. Hemifacial microsomia often gets worse on aging, but rarely (never except I've been writing SCIENCE! today, so saying never makes me twitch) better. Balancing out her chin likely did more cosmetic good than the nose job, given that it's really common to have an extremely sunken or…

I am wondering how they're defining troubled without being curious enough to go look.

I love Turbo Disturbo! :D

Ugh, so sorry. SKI GOGGLES!

That makes my copy editor soul hurt.

No, it is true. Honest. It's just not really a bad thing (and actually can protect the cornea), except for the whole freezing tends to make them opaque thing. Which kind of removes the point of contact lenses.

Also, please don't wear your contacts outside if you live in the purples. They can freeze to your eyeballs, and that's bad.
