They remind me of the auras I see right before a migraine.

It’s kinda pretty in its tacky way, right? Except what would you wear it for other than to go out dancing? And that is not going to stay in place when its wearer moves.

Hmm.

I worked at a domestic violence shelter for years, and although I will say that there are some excellent police officers out there that handle those situations well, this kind of outcome is unfortunately much more common (not the death necessarily, but the officer leaving). All too often the officers would give the…

It sounds like these cops know or care fuck all about actual Proactive Threat Assessment. Fourteen calls should have triggered an investigation. And seriously, “She was going to be killed by this guy some day, somehow.” FROM THE POLICE CHIEF?!! He should quit, too. If someone made even the vaguest, most veiled threat…

Unfortunately - this situation is all too common. Cops don’t know how to properly deal with domestic violence and protect women in need. Nothing should ever be brushed off!

“Forgive me please, but that’s what you get when you play with people’s emotions.”

I have the world’s largest collection of lipstick for that very reason. I watch a lot of you tube videos of forties inspired looks and there does seem to be a lot of winged eyeliner tutorials that strike me as anachronistic. I think the 1940s continued the trend of the 1930s in regards to eye makeup. (Except that the…

Yeah, that was the head-scratcher for me, too! I thought the whole thing was supposed to be that women are healthier than men, because we only work safe dainty little non-taxing jobs, or some shit? In addition to having the longer lifespan.

Yeah, I mean, obviously brows are something that are not one-size-fits-all, but the crazy super thin line is one of the more unforgiving trends. There are a few people who can pull it off, but brows are like booze: Best enjoyed in moderate amounts until you just sort of lose control and then WHOA what happened here oh…

1960s will be soon! First 1940s/50s (SPOILER ALERT: A lot more pastels were involved than people care to think) and then into the super fun crazy liner and white lipstick and bonkers looks of the 1960s. I’m excited to get further into the later years because there becomes way less of a super general “everyone is…

I never thought about IKEA as a major step in a relationship...until I arrived at IKEA and realized the whole place was laid out exactly like the IKEA where my parents (and my partner’s parents) had taken us both shopping children. Both of us were struggling with Oedipal conflicts before we’d even gotten to the…

WHAT

Hello, I’m John Mayer and welcome to the uncanny valley....

It’s amazing how skillfully John Mayer has deconstructed the pathology of consumerism while simultaneously having not a fucking clue that that is what he’s doing.

My parents are the only two people I’ve ever seen put together Ikea furniture without wanting to cause bodily harm to the other person. I guess that explains why they’ve been married for 41 years.

I don’t know. Did you make sure that one person had a hammer and the other had a pencil behind their ear? Whose fault is it really if you don’t follow all of their instructions properly?

I prefer going to IKEA alone. I prefer all of my shopping to be alone. No dissenting opinions, no losing people, no one demanding your attention. Just run in, get that shitty $3 vase, and run out.

One of the parents of my student’s was complaining that her daughter’s lips were chapped and the super expensive all natural organic lip balm wasn’t helping.
