John Berger has an interesting piece that talks about nakedness/nudity. It's called 'Ways of Seeing". Pretty good, and I'm not even one to enjoy art-related essays. I think there was also a television program with the same name.

Yeah, del means of the in Italian also and since I took Italian for 6.5 years in school if I see a latin-based word that fits for Italian I just assume it is. But, I'm not familiar with it in Italian last names so I shall take your word for it! Plus, it's in your screenname so I can only assume you know what you're…

It's wild that the hairless ones are so damn ugly, the powderpuff cresteds are pretty cute in a simply cute-cute way not an ugly-cute way.

I didn't realize del Ray was Spanish, I always thought it was Italian-ish, especially with her apparent admiration for Nancy Sinatra. Makes sense, though. Many Italian last names end with a full-time vowel, and I know Spanish and Italian share a lot of words/structures so I can see where my confusion was.

I think "Worth It" is kind of like the employee pick shelf. But, I totally agree with your idea for the anniversary.

How did I not know about Le Coil before?! This list is amazing, thank you for putting it out there.

I also love Pierce Brosnan's relationship. She's younger than him by ten years (he's '53 she's '63) but she's a thicker woman (and he's still considered a heart throb). I love seeing them together, I don't know why. I think they're great and make me happy.

Some post that went around tumblr last month or so was talking about how amazing a remix of I'mma read feat Azealia Banks would be. I wish it would happen. The original song is fantastic in and of itself, though.

I don't know why, but everyone being so confused by you calling Chris Brown "Ike Brown" is cracking me up. You've been doing it for a long time, and I think another commenter or two do it as well. It's really not a difficult reference. This is the first time I've seen people be so confused, but maybe it's often other…

Ooh, ha! I thought you saying Sahara was just the way people shortened Tea in Sahara and I was just behind on the times.

A fellow Rhode Islander! (I think I may have known this? There are a few RI born/transplant folks here, I'm trying to keep track). It's Zenobia that's alcohol-free. I still think it's hilarious that the only thing separating Zenobia and Byblos is Ben and Jerrys.

The one that my boyfriend and I own (we split the cost) is a small portable one and cost almost triple the one his roomie got in Lebanon. When we finally get a nice big one it's going to pain me knowing how cheap they can be elsewhere.

I have a hookah and a few of my friends do. My boyfriend's roommate has a beautiful one from Lebanon but there's a huge crack in the vase now. It's cheaper to own a hookah, even if you don't smoke all that often you still save money in the long run. We have a bunch of shisha and some natural coals. It's a nice way to…

I'm surprised there aren't any more comments re: Angelina as Maleficent. I've noticed a lot of people here don't seem to like her. I think she looks awesome in that picture and I think she fits. Her face is so striking. I also thought she'd make an awesome cat woman just because of her bone structure (I don't know,…

That's what Anais said when they brought up Fassbender. That it sucks when a celebrity one likes turns out to be a callous human being.

Ha! I love how they look like they're fighting at first and then one realizes how bouncy the 'ground' is. Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that sentence confused me for a moment.

"When it comes to jumping on the bed, this little sheep named really gives monkeys a run for their money"

Fresh Prince was hardly white-washed. Race and culture was a big theme of the show. Just because the parental figures were wealthy does not mean a show is white-washed.

I have some long Senegalese twists right now, 6 weeks in. Seeing tight braids/twists on anyone makes my own scalp throb. One thing I am excited for when I take these out is to be able to actually scratch my head. I'm wondering if she just got them put in a few days before filming, because her edges do look really…
