"The ladies repping Lane Bryant couldn't possibly be particularly stout even for 1922." I bet they weren't particularly stout, but stout nonetheless. We underestimate the degree to which we are larger today. We also underestimate the degree to which being slender has been an ideal in many parts of the world (not just…

Meh...I like Kimye. I don't think that Kim is the dumbo that people assume she is, and it irks me that she takes so much heat for having her privacy violated (the Ray J tape). Also, she claims to have been abused in her first marriage, and it sucks that she doesn't receive the same level of empathy - especially from…

I think this depends on a lot of factors, including diet, drinking habits, and who knows what else. The only time I've ever felt like I had to go has been on my longer long runs (e.g., 16 - 20 miles), but normally, I'm able to hit the restroom before hitting the trail.

Good question lea! The issue with all of these disease is they are vector-borne diseases that use an arthropod as an intermediate host and a human as a final host. Yellow fever is a tricky one because you can get a vaccination that can be somewhat effective, but mostly it's better at reducing severity of the disease.…

Can't we just finally conclude that because of years of genetic development soup from all over the globe, bodies look different? I take pole dancing with a lot of different body types (& lots of AA ladies) but they can all lift their ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT up the pole by their arms & then upside down. You ain't gotta be…

The only thing that's yummier than pumpkin pie w/whipped cream is Tom Hiddleston.

If you're meeting with someone who is the foremost expert on something, you better be on time and ready to listen, regardless of how famous you are. That person is usually taking time out of their busy schedule to do you a solid as a tourist to their work, so being late and rude is unacceptable. (Yes, of course, many…

That woman is so full of herself.

Met Hawass a few years ago. Dude takes his position as keeper of Egypt's antiquities very, very seriously. This match was probably doomed from the start, he's more of an academic and not the best guy to chauffer a star around. That said, one probably shouldn't be late when meeting with the world's foremost expert on…

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like "I sold a kidney for this."

I've never understood the rage over "marketing alcoholic beverages to young people." Like maybe young people who were otherwise definitely not going to drink walked into a store and said, "What an intriguing package! I must have this, regardless of contents!" Teenagers who want to drink are going to drink. They…

First read this as "...Living on donuts in Siberian winters" and I was all like "Damn, nobody told me there were donuts! Way to exaggerate hardships, Solzhenitsyn." Blame the theraflu-sudafed cocktail.

My best last minute costume was Frida Kahlo. I drew on the uni-brow, and ran a mascara wand over the (extremely dainty and feminine) hairs of my upper lip. The party I went to happened to be largely attended by lesbians, and so I was the belle of the ball.
(EDIT: Largely attended by lesbians who love Frida Kahlo)

Awww yeahhhhhh TAFT PUNK.

Ehh I'm pretty on board with the kneecapping. Animal abuse is right up there with child and elder abuse and people who do it are just the absolute worst, and I've seen so many animals who were the victims of seemingly random violence that I don't have much faith in the justice system to serve as a deterrent.

IMO the "tricks" to contouring are to remember not to go too dark, to pair it with blush and highlighter, and to blend down the cheek. I'm quite pale with a warm skin tone, so I use a light, slightly gold-flecked bronzer and a peachy blush. After my foundation is on, I use a fluffy blush brush to blend blush from…

OH GOD. It's like Cronenberg designed the back-tit, while Lynch decided to add the incongruous trappings of cosy suburban dwelling. And I don't know who came up with the black vinyl gloves, but it added an uncomfortable air of fetish to the whole sordid procedure.

Problem: they don't make them in see-through, which is my skin color.

Bigger problem: those heels! So high! I don't understaaaaaaand!

I'm not sure why these articles are written in this way, this sounds like a legit research exercise and not "creepy". Also "no fatties"? There's a pretty good reason you need to pass an air force physical to be able to qualify the stress of the trip. Terrible wording all round, unless you were going for funny, in…

This article is too long.
