In the past Nordstrom has put plus sized models in with everybody else. You'll turn a page and see four models wearing sweaters, and one will be plus sized (for example). New creative director for the catalog, maybe? I always liked that Nordstrom didn't isolate the plus sized clothes and models. What a shame.

My alma mater (Hampshire College) allowed opposite-sex roommates, however about 90% of the rooms on campus were single-occupancy. I only knew one person who took advantage of the policy and lived with his lesbian best friend. They even shared the bed. Honestly, the whole concept was never an issue, and it seems…

@Sev: For serious. I'm getting a yeast infection just looking at those shorts.

@Plz2kthx: 2nded!

@eloiseonahill: She's on No-Pants Island, where gender doesn't exist.

@Konstantin Bothari: LOL!

@hughman: I vaguely recall that it was a bit of a box office failure when it opened, and didn't become popular until years later, in revival houses. Perhaps people were disappointed that it didn't hew closely enough to the books.

@PlanetClaire: And the look on Ben's face when the losties are happily reuniting just broke. my. heart. Sad puppy!

@Holly Green: *headslap*

To the reporter who bugged Travolta about his dead son: stay classy, dude.

@Her Grace: Nerdfighter!: Oh, I'd love to see that figure.

@GGobsessed: While children today do receive more shots, the actual volume of vaccine has gone way, way down since the 1970's (when I was vaccinated). IIRC, current vaccines have only about a 10th (or less) of the organism or antigen content of earlier vaccines.

@Raederle: Oh, that bit about the plastic lining is grim. I totally feel for your poor, pocked, pubescent butt.

I used to wear boys' briefs as my period undies. Sooooooo thick and comfy. Too bad they look terrible under anything form-fitting.

@luxylux: I was just going to bring that interview up. Made me weep. And, also, totally fall in love with Tucci.

@PaintedTrollop: Yeah, she was tugging at the scarf, I don't think she was terribly comfortable.

@jenrobe: Do you suppose constipation porn and laxative porn go hand-in-hand? Like, does the dude get off on the constipated lady finally taking a giant poo?

@pantsless economist...access RESTORED: I saw about 80 pairs of jeggings at Nordstrom Rack yesterday. I think maybe they're circling the drain.

@HappyHydrozoan is positive disintegration: I like that the skinny jeans trend has led to more straight-leg options, because I can tuck them into my rainboots without looking like a doofus, but looking around at the world it seems that most people do *not* look good in the super-skinny jeans. You're one of the lucky…

@LaFemme: I think "shootie" is the generally-accepted term.
