Yeah, I agree, I found it horrifying. I guess Maggie probably is the most attractive women on the show depending on your tastes, but I didn't feel like it was "sexy" at all. Quite the contrary, it was horrifying.

Yeah it's strange, I ended up losing mine when I was 20. It didn't feel late or early to me, it was just the right time with the right guy. I didn't end up marrying him or anything, but I also don't regret him being my first. It was a positive experience that I was ready for and handled responsibly. That's not a…

wow yeah, I just checked cause your comment made me wonder how old she is. She was born in 1990, I honestly assumed she was older than that yikes.

I have less of a problem with her making the choice to lose weight for the role than I do with Vogue getting all excited and waxing poetic about it. Okay actors modify their bodies for roles, although this makes me a little squeamish I do understand it to a point. However, it should not be glorified by fashion…

watched the first episode of The Mindy Project because I was curious, and I wanted to like it, I really did. It was funny at parts, but the little feminist inside my head just kept crying out in pain. She's a doctor, a DOCTOR, but there's something wrong with her because she's single?! AND the fact that she has an…

I was about to write exactly what you did, thank you for putting it so eloquently. I read this article and was annoyed, I thought Eugenides was quite fair and that his comments on the subject were for the most part intelligent and sound. I too am a lady with a set of lit degrees.

Yeah, the cinematography is beautiful, and might not even be creepy if the actress weren't so clearly under-aged, but yeah....... didn't feel good watching that.

Right so I know painkillers for a hangover are bad because it puts extra stress on your liver, but seriously Advil Allergy Sinus is about the only thing keeping me sane right now.

Thank you! I just wrote a post saying how it is totally pointless to be angry with a little old lady and that is true. But I do worry very much about this starting a trend and that would be very very bad indeed.

So being angry with a little old lady is pointless and probably also a huge overreaction, but every time I see the image I cringe inside. I'm currently working on my masters in archives and preservation and although my line of work is mostly with books and manuscripts, proper preservation and restoration techniques…

This article may come off as a little harsh, but at the same time I kind of appreciate that point it is making about honesty. No matter how Tyra behaves in the media, she doesn't always do herself any favors where looking intelligent is concerned, she has certainly managed to do pretty well for herself and that…

Yes, but didn't another study just conclusively link the parasite to higher suicide rates?

This is interesting. We have two cats, both adopted as adults (2 & 3 years old), both originally strays (at least when they were found and brought to the humane society). Neither is obsessive about their food, they each have a dish which we put a certain amount of food into in the morning and in the evening and the…

Even if she was of Greek decent, which I don't feel like getting into a debate about right now, she would still be a lot darker complexioned than most (probably all) of the women who have played her in the past.

No she would not have spent much if any time in the sun, but I think what ModSuadBootz is saying is that a tan would at least help her to look a little more Egyptian, which she was, not white.

yes, and thank you.

Ugh exactly. Honestly I've had this problem, but it isn't so much that my male friends really like me in that way, it is just the guys seem to assume that if a woman speaks to them she may be interested in sleeping with them. I guess from an evolutionary standpoint that makes sense that men would be sort of wired to…

Okay thank you. I just posted something asking if anyone knew the story behind it because it sounds more like she is doing it as a kind of stunt to get attention for a cause than because she's actually nuts.

Wait I'm confused, this article makes it sound as though this woman is crazy and just marrying stuff, which could absolutely be the case. However, with the warehouse being torn down and the neighborhood up for redevelopment I'm wondering if it isn't actually a form of protest. Like doing something really strange and…

Yes this ^
