I’m just as certain that there are a lot of white ladies called Mrs Park who have Korean husbands.

I jokingly warned my boyfriend to never surprise me with a ring, and he paid attention: it’s a lot of pressure to pick out something that a person is supposed to wear every day for the rest of her life. After he proposed, we went ring shopping, which was not successful. Then I designed the rings myself and he had a…

In real life I don’t wear much makeup. This was less about paint and foundation, and more about looking kinda normal-drawing on eyebrows, adding the look of healthy colour to sallow skin. Also, as kateperegrinate explains below, it’s not just about wearing makeup: it’s also dealing with the side effects of chemo,…

This is wonderfully well said. Thank you.

I’m with aughra. As a beneficiary of the program, my experience was mixed: I found the focus to be heteronormative and kind of belittling, but this was more about the facilitator than the idea. The swag bag contained a tonne of useful products: makeup (nice stuff, like MAC) and skin care stuff, sunscreen, lots of…

The evidence presented here is tenuous at best, and manipulatively alarmist at worst. For what it’s worth, my Look Good Feel Better experience/swag bag happened during active cancer treatment, long before they put me on Tamoxifen.

I believe it was Judge Judy who commented that a lot of sadness came from unintended pregnancies: it would be better if universal contraception was the norm, and people could then reliably choose when and if to get pregnant. Orwellian implications aside, she has a point.

You’re not gonna get much love for this stance, but I’m with you. Yoko does nothing for me. Negative nothing.

This sounds creepy and intrusive to Western ears, but I’m just not comfortable passing judgment on a culture I’m not part of and know little about.

I once had a well-paying job in my chosen field, and it was a fucking nightmare. (Not wanting to go into much detail, I’ll just say it was production-related in the entertainment industry.) My immediate supervisor refused to communicate with me- which was vital, as we had to work as a tight team- and made my job…

You’re right, she’s usually delightfully wackadoodle in her fashion choices, and she’s got the body to carry it off anyway, but this was a spectacular NOPE even by her out-there standards.

I agree totally with your first point: feeling entitled to sex around without telling your spouse is entirely uncool. But... nope to the second. “Alienation of affections” is grounds for divorce for a reason. Maybe you’re not a very highly sexed person- I don’t know your life, and it’s none of my business- but for…

Totally and completely agree: his sexist remarks are indeed beneath contempt. Should Heidi have ignored him, or made the cute video rebuttal (which I loved)? I can tell you that a friend of mine who’s a flight attendant has had Ms Klum in her plane, and reports that she is luminously beautiful in person AND totally…

She’s still smarting over Trump’s egregious diss, and is determined to prove that she *is so* still a 10. Which she is, but this dress is like something dreamed up if a Fredericks of Hollywood designer from the 60s was tasked with dressing the Sexy Space Babe that catches Shatner’s eye. ie, flashy and not good.

And she’s engaged to Peter Facinelli. That girl’s got it goin’ on.

Any way you like it, as long as it settles you down a tad. I mean, you make some good points about evolution, but so much EMPHASIS and exclamation points!!! that you come across a bit fraught.

Yes, fairly often. My GP takes blood pressure, listens to heart and lung sounds, all that stethoscope stuff.

Have you considered looking into decaff?

And is that couple still together? Control issues like that suggest mayyyybe not.

I’m trying really hard to persuade a friend to comment here, because there’s a lot of epic tales already but his involves a sex-related injury requiring surgical repairs. Both he and his then-partner have evidently won every sex-related bragging contest since.
