Many people freeze or comply out of shock when undergoing trauma, especially when there is a power dynamic. Being alone with him in his apartment with his crazy assistant probably doesn't help matters.

Why not get a signed consent beforehand of what a model will and won't do? Why, because this process is what gets him off I'd guess!! Because stunning someone suddenly and coercing a less experienced model (which seems to be the pattern) is probably part of what he likes to do and is "exciting" for him.

As someone mentioned further downthread, that is bullshit. I used to be a therapist at a drug/alcohol treatment center and I can assure you that "making amends," if it would be considered harmful to someone else, can simply be writing them a letter then burning it, or writing it down and giving it to your sponsor. The…

Do people these days send death threats to just about anyone? Because, what? I mean, it is never ok, but I could understand the vitriol and rage if she was like doing this to her daughter or something but she's a grown ass woman.

I don't know, guys. I don't hate some of these mags. Glamour, after the first half which is all centered on fashion (which I like) and "beauty" (Get skinny and look the way the industry tells you you should look! which I don't like), does usually have articles and columns that profile a lot of empowering women and…

UMMMM and I read he is like 39 now. And I was like, wat. I did the math and that Buffy aired 15 YEARS AGO. Which is still insane but come on!! He is ridiculous and I love him.

Dude. For real. ::spoilers obv::: Plus Lord of Light nonsense? Any point to that? Tyrion doing anything beside being drunk? Lady Stoneheart? The wild wolves in the forest (the Starky ones)? Bran and his damn tree? Oh I could go on.

Yeah the wandering around bit has made me super frustrated. There is so little in the way of answers or resolution of ANYTHING, just more questions and plots with loose threads. I totally think it lost its focus. So many extraneous characters and plotlines and as readers, how the F are we supposed to keep being…

Lindy. I need you to do more ASOIAF articles/recaps/whatever. Your thoughts on the books/show are my fave. I read Game of Boners recaps on here and they are good, but every piece you write on it is my exact heart and brain feels.

Oh I so feel your pain!! My hubby travels a lot and I have 2 little ones. I have been there. The crock-pot is such a friend. If there is ever a time during the day when they are napping/occupied and I can sneak into the kitchen, it's nice to just find a couple recipes you like, keep that stuff in the house, then you…

Amen!! Same here. I've had 2 little ones and the thought of babies being brought unwanted into households, especially if there are few resources for them or even a higher chance of them being mistreated is horrendous to me, especially now. The amount of work, sacrifice, and expense it takes to raise children is…

Yes but the shame route at least seems to be a good start...sounds like the prez and government are feeling the heat and trying more desperately to cover it up. Then n

This is one of the more positive things that I feel the internet does for us nowadays. There is somewhat more of a transparency in the world that is makes these kinds of atrocities harder to hide. I love that online pressure and publicity is at least finally validating the kidnapping and showing the abject failure of…

How beautiful and genuine. She is amazing. I am so fascinated by how some people remain so resilient in such difficult circumstances (her anecdotes about being younger). It is very inspiring. Not that people who do not react that way are flawed in any way. But she is such a survivor.

totally! Fellow Cuban . My mom said her aunt used to feed her until she vomited, then would continue feeding her. Deep cultural thing (though that is obviously extreme). There is definitely a mentality in a lot of Latin America that to be healthy, babies and kids need to eat, eat, eat!! I have known people (not even…

For sure it was a possibility but before putting a psychological diagnosis on something you should always, always rule out medical issues. It is considered unethical not to. If you assume chest pain is anxiety and your client has serious heat condition, that is a problem. People like dr drew just want to sound smart…

You can also claim "religious exemption" by literally just writing a letter and taking it to the courthouse or something. I have had acquaintances who didn't want to vaccinate their children do this. The daycare/school can't do anything about it, gotta accept the kids. It is criminal. At least that is the case here in…

Yes. Also I LOVE YOUR SCREEN NAME.

Melikes your theory on Tyrion and Dany! That would be badass. And ::::SPOILER::::: (you sounds like a book-reader, so hope that is ok) at the end of book 5, they are somewhat not in Westeros together, no? OK, maybe a little far from each other, but I really really want it to happen!!!

LINDY I love your GOT coverage and I am very pleased about this. I was hella disappointed when I did not see a play-by-play analysis of the trailers like last year but this more than makes up for it. THANK YOU!!
