Funny, after considering all the "poor Michelle" comments from last week, my guy friend's only comment during the show was "who's the pretty one on the right?" It was MICHELLE. I like to think she would've liked that.

Yes, that's the first thing I noticed! I didn't care for the show (just not my type of music) but I love the all-girl band and the screens in the back were pretty cool.

Wow, I'm surprised Britain had such strict laws about abortion. I always imagine that most of Europe has more common-sense-based laws on such things than we do here in the US. I'm always thinking "I wish we behaved more like Germany/England/France/Sweden/Norway/etc in issue XYZ".

Yes! Unfortunately it's surprisingly difficult to get that vaccine and it's expensive. I got it when I went to Vietnam as part of the recommended travel vaccines and it was a pain in the ass to procure. Like Patty mentioned, my insurance didn't cover it either so I ended up going to the local government clinic and got…

Agreed. That Food documentary that talked about Monsanto (and that poor farmer!) was really well-done and I'm shocked it didn't have people up in arms over the crap that's done to our food. In fact, that's what made me finally go vegetarian—not animal rights empathy (although of course that's part and parcel) but the…

Did she ever get the puppet?

lol

What do you think he has hanging from his rearview mirror? Fuzzy dice probably aren't ironic enough... maybe just a plastic Hawaiian girl on the dash?

Huh, never thought about it that way. I know guys like these make me reflect on giving up on men completely.

Aren't all mummys dead inside?!

I was going to say, that has to be either a fake name or a wasted coincidence.

Hahaha... that was the cutest d'oh ever

While I was reading this article, my Spotify decided to play "Pussy" by Lords of Acid.

Apparently SC has a reputation for being one of the best-dressed/most attractive populations, especially Charleston. I discovered this while Googling "most attractive US cities" to see where my new home landed. I've also heard plenty of guys say that the South is considered to have the prettiest girls, so maybe that's…

This is so true! I grew up in central Florida and got asked all the time where my accent was from (I pretty much don't have one) when I lived in the South.

It sounds like this is just punishing all the kids out there who are into anything that's not traditionally gender-normative. That would include all the guys in drama club, all the weird art kids, the goth/emo crew, the entire girls' softball and basketball teams, and actual LGBTQ kids. I myself fit into almost all of…

Yeah, I'm almost more offended by the shitty makeup job. They really couldn't have at least picked a guy with features that didn't scream Caucasian?

While you were busy typing "lazy black woman," you must have completely missed the fracking point of this article that clearly advocated paying people based on productivity and output and other performance measures that have NOTHING TO DO WITH gender (or ethnicity, as you so casually tossed out there.)

Okay, this is going to sound like I'm a paid spokeswoman for Always, but have you tried their Always Infinity pads? I'm like you, I use pads on off-days when I need a break, and I get heavy periods. I bought them because they were on sale, and —TMI alert— the first time I used one I thought I hadn't been bleeding…

That was a pretty great commercial. I'm glad they were British chicks because I think it wouldn't have been nearly as cool with American accents.
