Can we stop with the "The Way We Live Now: We Don't Name Our Kids Susan" stories? (That's not directed at Jez; the study goes on to compare 1950s names to today's most popular names.) We don't work the same jobs, we don't live the same way, we don't eat the same foods, we don't have the same family units as we did

You know how people are always saying, "have the wedding you want!" And you think you will, but you end up making certain concessions because they don't really matter to you all that much. I love my wedding dress and it's a nice, appropriate dress. But I really wish I was getting married in what Kristen Davis has

Re the crack whore thing: I just don't believe in calling women "whores," whether they're exchanging their sex for money or drugs. It's not something I hope my children grow up to do for a living, but I didn't think Jezebel was in the business of posting articles that use that term.

I've diagnosed divorce and a lack of Christian morals as being a major contributor to leading the life of a crack whore.

Oh wow. I've totally never seen the struggling-daughter-must-rejoin-dysfunctional-family-due-to-a-marriage/holiday/other-important-life-event plot before. Except in Margot at the Wedding. And Pieces of April. And Rachel Getting Married...

Word. People seem not to know that diamond prices are exponential, not linear. A two carat diamond ≠ two one-carat diamonds.

This guy needed to go to medical school to determine that's not the nose, boobs and lips Camille was born with? I'd think you'd be able to tell that if you were headless.

So...I've only read Benjamin Millepied's name, I've never heard it said. Er, um, ok this is embarrassing. Is it not pronounced like the many-legged creepy crawly?

Oh my God! All these brides are headless! The horror! The humanity!

I think it's because (a) that movie was a huge bomb and (b) she was voiced by Demi Moore.

Thank you for this. I'm really disappointed in Jez for trying to paint this quote in a totally different light than it was originally written.

Right. What should definitely happen is women should stop having choices, because one was brutalized by a mob out of control. I definitely think taking away the rights of the innocent person rather than (a) punishing those responsible and (b) making the world a safer place—though that's a tall order—is the best

Word. Except I'm not totally sure it matters that it's pandering. They might be disingenuous about their message, but the message still gets through.

@Ron_Paul: I had forgotten about that!

@BringerofthePain: Word! I just wish she'd stop making that squint face. She's a beautiful woman and her fashion sense gets better everyday, but the look of slight confusion is just...not working for me.

I love Diane's ensemble, but if you're going to go super-short, you need to make sure your proportions are still working (that's why short shift dresses are so killer). Without lengthening it at all, if the belt was moved up 1.5-2 inches, it'd be an absolute winner.

Bananas! Just when I was feeling so good about the US laws against sodomy being struck down (like 6 years ago), there's this. I don't even understand the logic behind it. It's legal...but you have to wait longer to do it. Why? If it's not wrong, and I gather these states/countries don't think it is because it's

@TheGuvnah: Oooooooh! That would explain a lot.

Sophie Ellis-Baxter's dress's waist is either too low or needs a belt. It has me wanting to tug on it, pull it up, pull it down, put it anywhere but where it is.
