I legit want to know how Ellie Goulding got a hold of my Homecoming dress from 1988.

Oh hey hi from the Marne next door! I actually do hope it snows this week, we haven’t had a proper snow in years.

I can tell you that this has absolutely nothing to do with being a sports related business, because I lived this exact scenario four years ago in a completely different industry in another country. I was hired, promoted, given unclear instructions, and finally quit after nine months of desperately trying to make it…

No thank you, we definitely don’t want them, and plenty of French women have been fighting this bullshit for a while now. I give you: Ni putes ni soumises

Sweet! I didn’t even think about St Patricks, ha! Thank you so much.

Whoa! I’ve never heard of it, but that is perfect! And the exhibition about immigrant women in NY falls right when I’ll be there! Thank you so much! (Sorry about all the exclamation marks, I’m really excited!)

So I have huge, 17 hour layover in NY in a couple of months and was looking for things to do and places I haven’t been before (I’ve hit most of the major attractions over my lifetime). I’d never been to the met before but I literally found out about this yesterday and it completely turned me off. If I can go to the…

I don’t ever watch tv and I hadn’t heard about this movie but my first thought after reading the title was that it was going to a be a Very Special Episode of Plus belle la vie. XD

Counter arguement: I had double bunion surgery at 27 thanks to a mispent youth in heels (and, admittedly, a small portion of that is a bad roll of the dice in the genetics department). FUCK heels. I also happen to be all of 5'2" so flats with a skirt can look infantile on me. Kitten heels are a compromise for heels…

They call him Poutine in French, for the same reason I suppose.

Yeeeeeeesssss !!!!! I love you so much for this! There is no amount of sunscreen I can apply to avoid a sunburn, and believe me, I know from the experience of growing up in Florida. Two years ago I bought a parasol for the beach and foolishly thought that would be enough to protect my fragile skin. Oh how my husband…

Is it really deplorable if they’re still called “things from Vienna?” (viennoiseries)

Gah, TRIGGERED!!!!

Goddammit, my eight year old kid watches his videos sometimes. I can’t even with this douchecanoe.

Oh totally, especially since she comes from a “nice Christian southern family”. But I don’t even know if it would have been on my radar if they had had a “normal” wedding instead of going three states away and only in front of my immediate family, which took me ages to understand (which, to be fair, I was 5 at the…

In the late seventies, my uncle, a divorced high school teacher in his late twenties, got married. The only guests at the wedding were my Dad (his oldest brother), my Mom, my little sister and me. I was in kindergarten at the time. As I grew older, I eventually learned that she was 17, a student in his class, and…

I have to admit that I am not enthusiastic about Mom jeans, as I am an old and my actual Mom wore Mom jeans, but I AM NOT MAD. You rock those Mom jeans!

Maybe they could do Mists of Avalon again, but get it right this time?

As someone somewhere in between your ages (I’ll be 44 next week), this has done a world of good to my conscience. I also totally freaked out after the election and actually suffered a period of depression that took me three months to climb back out of. “Oh, you were giving up.” That got me. Many thanks to you and your…
