So, full disclosure: My mother is one of the tributes in Catching Fire. She and the other tributes (because they actually still keep in contact, mostly via Twitter) have been dying to see the trailer (and especially to see if they're in it, but she doubts it). During filming, they all banded together and were thinking…

My favorite movie of all time is Moulin Rouge. I've seen every one of his movies (not that there's that many, ha). I once met Baz Luhrmann. It was glorious. I got really fangirly on him (I was 12). I can't wait for this movie!

I switched off between doubles and twins when I was a kid (due to use of antique family furniture and getting my own set of bunk beds) and I bought a full after graduation from college. The bf and I will be getting a king size bed when we move in together, but ONLY because he's too tall to fit on a queen size (which…

I agree with wanting a brunette Barbie. Not Midge or whatever, but Barbie. Skipper, back when she was first introduced, was a brunette and my mom has the doll—but have you seen that original Skipper? Totally flat-chested, obviously a child. I wanted a cool, grown-up Barbie to identify with!

When I hear recordings of my voice, I'm surprised that anyone would want to be friends with me because I think I sound like a stuck-up bitch. It's awful.

She won't be royalty; she'll be nobility. Also, according to your article, she'll be a viscountess when she marries Ceawlin. She won't be a marchioness until this "notorious" Marquess of Bath dies and Ceawlin inherits. And it's not "Viscount of Weymouth," it's "Viscount Weymouth." Okay, my nitpicking rant is over.

I work at a TV production company in NYC and we start getting benefits (including health insurance! Paid sick leave! Paid vacation! Paid holidays! Other things!) after three months. My company offers freelancers the same package as staff.

I love Felicity so much. She's my favorite of all the dolls!

I work in television, albeit the corporate side, but truthfully, when I was looking for my first job post-college in 2011, I applied to about 150 ads. I realized how futile it was to include a cover letter and how very time consuming it was—nobody seemed to be looking at it anyway, so what was the point? I got called…

We call them LoVe.

I drove about an hour to a farm in western NJ to go apple picking because I'd never done it before. The price was good. I thought—hey, we're at a farm, I bet they have good prices on other things that are in-season! And they make it here, so they don't have to pay shipping/distribution fees! I found that other fruits…

This was actually painful to watch for me. It's obvious the puppies don't like the booties, and I wanted to reach through the screen to take them off their feet :(

YEAH D-SPAR!!!! Fun fact, when I graduated from Barnard, Sheryl Sandberg was my class speaker. AWESOME.

My mother is the youngest of four, with three older brothers, all born in the 40's and 50's. After each child, her mother had greater and greater bouts of PPD. After she had my mother, it became so bad that she killed herself. It took certain members of my mother's family a long time to stop blaming my mother—an…

I consider myself a feminist, and I can't wait to become a stay-at-home-wife (and someday mother). Why? Because I choose to (and not for traditional gender roles!). I dislike my job, my boyfriend loves his, and I really want to do things I love instead of working a desk job every day (whereas my bf LOVES his job,…

tl;dr: People are the worst. There is no hope for humanity.

True. I'm originally from Georgia, and they definitely do that.

Oh goodness no. I was seriously just making fun of Stephenie Meyer. It's DEFINITELY not feminist literature. Yuck. Now if you want to read a proto-feminist book, I would highly recommend La Cite des Dames by Christine de Pizan. It's only proto-feminist because it came around centuries before the idea of feminism even…

So I'm trying to look at Twilight as a feminist text in order to justify Stephenie Meyer's use of that epithet, and here's what I came up with: Meyer's commentary on a world wholly run by men leads to a world where women feel the need to meek and dependent rather than establish their own selves. Bella is the…
