I kind of want her to be my best friend.

I definitely noticed a change in the dolls, and this makes me super-sad. I was OBSESSED with these dolls and I still have my Felicity, Kirsten, and Samantha that I've got wrapped in linen and insist on keeping, carting along with me every time I've moved since I was 10 when I got them. I'm 27 now.

Oh my god. I literally (yes, literally) slept with the stupid magazine open to the Felicity page next to me, obsessing until I earned enough money doing chores for my parents to split the cost with me to get her as a Christmas present. I still have that doll too, and I'm 27.

Wow, I honestly had no idea jerry-rigged was a cover for a slur. Not that I use that phrase all the time, but... man. Gotta be careful what one says.

I think the handful of awesome, progressive priests are what keep me from completely turning my back on Catholicism–although nowadays I identify as Catholic more culturally than anything else (and it reminds me of my Gram, whom I was very close to.)

I think a fetus can start having rights when it can survive outside of the host mother's body– i.e. is born.

I 'll say it- I hate frosting. No cupcakes for me.

How timely this is. I need to forward this article to a male friend of mine who timidly asked me what he should use to cover his face that's breaking out. I didn't hesitate to direct him to the nearest MAC counter, told him what to ask the makeup artist for. He texted back excitedly that he was a convert and felt so…

Ah, you must live in Minnesota. Enjoying the frigid tundra as well this lovely spring? :-|

Yep, and finding the right shade is critical regardless of what skin tone one has. Here's hoping that's what this guy meant and not that he's severely ignorant?

Ugh, yes yes yes. As someone recently thrown back into the dating pool, I am just SO not wanting to play all of the games and abide by all the "rules," most of which are extremely backwards and basically boil down to 'let the man initiate everything and withhold sex as long as possible to keep his respect.' Um, FUCK…

Sounds like your grandma was pretty awesome. I don't want kids either but if it's someone like that who's asking, and you know the history like you do, it makes it more bearable because (while annoying) you know that her intentions are good; unlike others who I swear are just part of the misery-loves-company set.

Ha, you sound pretty cool. I wish more women had this attitude. Keep rocking, mom! :)

YES. Excellent idea. I would fund such an operation.

What?! Hats are awesome! Especially fedoras! Imagine how much more boring this world would be in no one ever stepped out in a jaunty bowler or tipped their newsboy? If no one ever rocked a Boy George, or tucked their bob neatly beneath a cloche?? WHERE WOULD THIS COUNTRY BE WITHOUT THE BASEBALL CAP???

So... you may not have meant this, but your argument sounds like it can be summed up as, "Attractive people have easier lives than I do always getting jobs and never struggling which means it's only fair if a hot girl gets knocked down a couple notches like the rest of us." I mean, I would say brain surgery arguably…

This story just breaks my heart. This girl has such a friendly, open, sweet look in her photo, and to think that those horrid little beasts treated her so callously just... sucks. It really sucks. I wish she would have had access to a support group or older female mentor who could've taken her aside and helped her…

Hmm... I don't want to knock all the good, devoted new dads out there (cuz congrats!) but just to be the voice of dissident, seeing a man with a child is a complete turn-off. I don't mean that in an "I hate children" way, but I simply view it as a giant "I'M UNAVAILABLE" sign. Like, "Oh, he's kinda cu–oh. Baby.…

Yep, that's why I like new Z's costume so much; I always liked the character and backstory but HATED her silly costume.

Good point. I actually love Zatanna's costume even if it's a lot of clothes.
