Seriously. Whatever inspires your art need not be something other people approve of. Lots of artists are self-involved assholes. But the product can still be something incredible.

I agree. Lots of artists a) make art inspired by people they have relationships with and b) are douchebags. Sometimes cool looking things happen anyway.

Yeah, it's weird that he added all those shitty stories, but honestly, the shoes are kinda cool. I don't see why a stupid story would ruin anyone's appreciation for the show.

I think it's a lot more interesting, even with the poorly written backstory, than a ton of stuff that gets passed off as Contemporary Art.

yeah because she had so many hits this year...

Exactly. For every excited ring photo or baby photo I see about 25 snarky bitchfests about how lame everyone who posts an excited ring photo or baby photo is.

You know what's lamer than the small percentage of people on my wall who are sharing their happy life milestones with their friends and families? The vastly…

This is something that kills me about Facebook - the people who rant "OMG I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY BABY." Then don't fucking follow me on Facebook, JFC. I don't see the appeal in people posting photos of their cats (amusingly, there's a good overlap between those people and the ones crying about too many baby…

I think you're totally write to say that "skimpy clothing can exist in a sexist context and also enjoy wearing skimpy clothing. Those things are not mutually exclusive." However, I think we need to be careful when we call any preference or taste "personal." We are born into cultures, webs of meaning that we did not…

Right. So, let me get this straight. This girl is cool, we're going to project coolness on her, because she's being photographed as surly with friends who are celebrating engagements. Let's project all kinds of COOL onto this girl while we simultaneously project all kinds of assumptions about these engaged girls.

Not at all. In fact, I specifically said I don't know her, I know people like her. Reading comprehension FTW and all.

Meh. She's "fun" right up til you get engaged and without even saying anything get a screed about how you're betraying feminism and your single friends and you might as well stop talking to anyone single because you will once you get married anyhow so just get it out of the way. Often followed by a nice dose of "why…

Every girl I knew when I was a preteen seemed to be a pathological liar. It was like a phase most of my friends seemed to go through. Best of includes.....
Having a friend who was in jail, whom she would go to see on a regular basis. Yet, her parents have never heard of him.
Having a twin who lives with her real Dad who…

No wonder she's barfing so much.

I went to school with a girl who hadn't gotten into her dream college. Instead of telling her friends and boyfriend that she wasn't accepted, she told everyone she got in to said dream school but that she couldn't go because she had a brain tumor. Meanwhile she was taking classes at my college on the sly and telling…

My sister's first husband (dated in high school and married shortly thereafter) told all kinds of crazy stories over the years about his classes and clinicals (psychology major). He had lots of great stories about work, too. Then we found out that he didn't actually attend college nor had he been working at ANY job…

Well, as a Texan, I am first going to tell you: Bless your heart, it’s so refreshing to have a conversation with someone who doesn't feel the need to prove they are smart.

A family friend married a woman, whom we refer to as the POD or Princess of Darkness. She told us she was married before but her husband and daughter died in a car accident. Years later we found out that her first husband divorced her and she sold- yes SOLD- her child. Suffice to say our friend filed immediately. She…

I had an exboyfriend who told me that he had contacted some of my ex's to discuss why the relationships ended. Needless to say, I was incredibly angry. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I realized that one particular ex he mentioned didn't use his real name on the internet. This raised my suspicions. He…

There is a pathological liar at my work. Before I realized she was lying about everything- her family in another country contacted me via Facebook because she had told them she had been violently mugged and was in the hospital and wanted to know what was going on. I freaked out and called her and several friends and…

My former best friend spun a web of lies around all of his close friends for nearly 5 years. It's way too much to recount here but some of the worst of it involved very shady stuff on the internet, including speaking virtually to hundreds of straight guys while pretending to be various made-up women. The part where…
