ooowwwww

I've heard of that, may give it a try. Although admittedly it seems as though I'm bad at keeping things down there as hair-free as other women do; probably because I have very light hair and I never got full into the hair-removal habit (I don't tweeze my eyebrows.)

What. the fuck. ever. I'm calling such major bullshit on this one.

I spring that on my partners sometimes. I like to decompress at home after work, during which time they harass me to chit-chat, and by the time I get around to talky-time it's usually when they've given up and are ready to sleep.

Yep.

LOL Oh man I can't watch sports unless it's on mute because of this. I remember when my dad would take me to softball practice out in bumblefuck we had to rattle along in his pickup truck listening to Skip Caray on AM sports radio and it was just mind-numbing.

Step up your game, troll. That shit works at HuffPost though I hear.

Am I the only woman who's never been waxed down there? My skin is so sensitive I'm afraid it would bleed and/or rip off flesh.

LOVE M.A.C.! I like funky lipstick and they have all the best shades. Also the girls who work there do such a great job helping pick out colors that go well with my coloring; I love that they hire actual makeup artists.

Not that I'm aware of; I'm relatively new to her material but I really love her feminist songs so that's what caught my attention. Rumor has it she's asexual so maybe for her looks aren't as big of a deal as far as sexual attraction goes.

No, I get that. I've always been grateful that I have a talent that I've developed that I made my main source of pride, and I work hard at it, and to have that ridiculed or downplayed or questioned because I'm good-looking is insanely frustrating.

Mom mixed a lot of things ;) But really, I think it's a Florida thing because a lot of her friends drank similar weirdness.

I think you pretty much nailed it in #1, except I don't think she's so much lamenting the fact that being pretty sucks (it's hard to argue with the advantages of being attractive); rather, she's saying women overall tend to be valued based on their looks, like what this article is about. Most of her songs are about…

Um, me too. And then I felt guilty for quickly having to squash all the mean thoughts that popped into my head that are directly at odds with Lindy's argument. Those photos are quite the juxtaposition.

Or, you just wait until your Mom has downed 4 of her nightly boxed white Zin/Sprite coolers while out on the porch talking on the phone and drink as much white Zin as you want because she's so tipsy she'll think she drank it! Heh... *tear*

IT FUCKING SUCKS. That's how I felt about it when I was 20, anyway.

You should look up the lyrics to the Emilie Autumn song "Thank God I'm Pretty." It's a really sarcastic song about the downside to being conventionally attractive and I think part of the appeal for me was that you so rarely hear a woman say "I'm pretty" I was surprised to hear a woman singing it. And for the record,…

I've had that happen, and as long as the guy wasn't interrupting me and quickly went about his day I didn't exactly mind, but I think we're also so suspicious of men who randomly come up to you and their motives that I don't think your compliment would come across as intended. Unfortunately, probably better to just…

Hmm, may have to try this red eye shadow business.

I've never struggled with an eating disorder but I was definitely an awkward child and teen so I can relate to being completely unable to objectively evaluate myself. It always surprises me to hear positive things about my looks.
