My mom had one of those! It's still sitting in a closet in my parents' house. I remember being totally fascinated by it when I was a kid.

@Kleppy: Most "HDR" photos I see look like crazy pastel paintings, nothing like reality. Perhaps they should call it "MDR" or something, but the idea is true to what HDR should be, an image that captures the details normally lost in under- or over-exposed areas of the image.

@lurkerbynature: There's always give-and-take between the street and the designer, that's just a fact of how ideas and memes move. However, you can say something "filtered down" even if it started as a street style if it wasn't popular in the mass merchandise arena yet. Lagerfeld sees fashion-forward kids on the…

@metaphorsbewithyou: I hope they stay around for a long time, they crack me up.

@franimaljones: Right down to the stank attitude.

@sdenison89: I think they're just counting on Esther's boobs to be the plus sized model all on their own.

@TallyCola: She just doesn't get to wear white gloves.

@tangerines: For the first time in my life I bought pantyliners yesterday. I'm normally an ob girl, but needed some shields. I bought the kotex ones on package design alone. I don't love the fluorescent wrappers, though. Makes them really obvious if they're not squirreled away.

@harriet_the_spy: I never understand why the mother/wife/girlfriend hasn't informed the kid/husband/boyfriend *what brand to buy.* I can't speak for every woman, but I tend to be a little bit particular about what I stick in my vagina.

@emmajem: I would buy that toilet paper.

@raphaela: Sweden appears to be ahead of the rest of the world in that regard:

@polypam: Lucky used to be my main airplane magazine, but over the last few months I've stopped buying it. Too repetitive, to annoying, as you point out above. Maybe new editorship will help.

@pancakes_4_your_face: I thought it was fairly clear from both my phrasing and spelling that I was making a jokey statement not intended to be taken as an honest attempt to question the man's sexuality. I didn't realize Jezebel had been declared a 100% Literal Zone.

@Kitten is an 80s rocker: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Rodger is totes le ghey.

@MakeFetch: Don't forget beer, there should be some beer to go with that track of hair.

@ThePaul: Yeah, I hate when data are summarized like that. A smarter way to put it is "probability of dying during the 20-year study . . ." but it can seem repetitive and kludgy, so nobody does it.

@QuatlooMillionaire: I imagine that any time she wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks she's back in her prison, or anytime she sees someone on the street that might resemble her captor, she takes a look at the photo to reassure herself.

@FreudianNipSlip: Mr. Kerry has had the same problem. He used to fit Banana Republic jeans perfectly, but now they don't make them small enough. It's very frustrating, since I'd love to see his hot little butt in a perfect-fitting pair of pants!

For most traditional catalog brands I'm a 10 or a 12. At Ann Taylor Loft, I am a size 4 or 6, it's insane. I stopped shopping there.

@SpicyCheeto: Mr. Kerry and I have had this argument a few times. I land on the side of "if it doesn't hurt anyone, why not?" and he's on the side of "it's inherently evil and causes damage." I can see where he's coming from, but I think maybe I'm a little less cynical about human nature than he is.
