I was wondering about that, actually. I have not tried to research real twerking, as I suspect I'm too elderly to approve, but I rather thought there was supposed to be more of a knee-bent stance. Mikey's seemed more... porn? As in, the straight legged thing was more for the benefit of grinding against Thicke's groin…

Wowwwww. So a guy who lies to women on the internet advises to "let it go." Be indifferent.

I dunno about sending attachments. We don't know when or where she would open the email, and I, suspect she'd probably like to do it in private rather than at work, for instance. I like my idea (of course I do) of putting everything in a dropbox and sending her the link. That way she gets the bad news without having…

I'm thinking, upload everything you have to the dropbox, all photos, chat logs, videos, etc. All the evidence. Obscure yourself if you want. Then write her a short email, expressing your regret, embarrassment, and desire to do the right thing (I.e. standing by women) with the link, and she can decide what to do.…

It is weird. I know that my dad would rather drink bleach than acknowledge either of his daughters' public sexually-charged performances, if we did such things. I'm sure he still thinks of us as virgins, despite us having three children between us.

You made me spit on my tablet!

Eeeh, the Beasties were on board years ago. I guess they didn't have a whole song about it though.

Try it out before you go, with both of you and your count in the house, so he can see how it works, then ask if he wants to do that while you're away. That way he'll know what to expect.

Yes, sometimes it's easy, fun, and even sublime. Most of it is just takin' care of business, though.

I rather assumed that the Miley-centric focus was that many of the Jezebel writers, uh, "grew up" with her. I know they're older than her, but maybe they watched her shows? I have no idea.

Thank goodness for cool aunts! You have my best, best wishes and appreciation!

Wooow. I hop it's a while before she becomes a great-grandma!

Every kid needs a cool aunt. I'm sure mine kept me from going absolutely suicidal when I was a teen.

Is it that they look significantly different? Or that 3-children families are rare? What?

11? *faints*

Pregnancy anecdata galore! I stayed on Effexor during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because my doctor looked it up in two books and said it was okay. (Yes, I implicitly trust my doc.) I had pre-ecclampsia and HELLP syndrome, so within a 10-day span I received magnesium, epidural stuff, morphine, massive doses of blood…

I had to pour 8 litres down the sink because while my drug-riddled milk was fine for my guy, it wasn't good enough for the bank. I feel your pain.

And the anti-immunisation shit bag whose name escapes me, but I refuse to say anyway.

I hadn't considered intersectional performers (probably because I've never seen any in the local scene) and while I agree that it's a valuable exercise in critiquing/subverting the practise of burlesque... it's still done for the male gaze (and dollars). I don't consider it revolutionary.
