Really nicely put. Those suits do fit - that's how their bodies look. It's not the suit re-shaping the body. And it's beautiful to see women being so generous with their images, and the positive effect it can have on other women.

Me too! I do the tankini with surf shorts, and I always feel like I'm swimming in my street clothes. But a couple months ago I got in a hot tub with some friends - one of whom is the same size and height as me - and by gum, she wore a bikini and looked fabulous! Now I totally want one.

Agreed. "But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood." Clearly maintaining hotness should be a woman's most important goal.

Ugh. Loathing them right now...

It's shitty regardless of how many companies do it. And considering that the domain in questions wasn't even the same as their magazine name, it was completely unjustified. If they were taking action against someone who was domain squatting that would be different to me, but the domain was being legitimately used at…

Back in the early 90's there was a women's group that put up a website to encourage women to get involved with the Internet. The URL of the website was wire.com. At that time Wired Magazine which was barely using their own domain on the Internet, sent the women's organization a letter stating that the name was too…

I wonder if it's not so much when your 8 hours of eating begins, but that you have a significant fasting time - at least that's what I was thinking when I read the post. Sounds like something similar is working for you?

I don't think there's any culture where people put strangers in a headlock to kiss them. As for the double-take before the hit, when I was in Europe a few years ago a guy grabbed at my boob as he walked past, so I turned around and punched him in the back. He stumbled but kept walking away. I stood watching for a…

I think it's just about hormones making us horny. Otherwise our relationships with "bad boys" would last 5-7 days. I wonder what information these dating profiles had that made it clear someone was a bad boy anyway. We've all seen too many examples of douchebags who think they're good. Maybe the women were just better…

I just wanted to see the Elgin Marbles, pillaged though they are. I did get a good English breakfast with bangers later that morning after taking the train into town (that guy lived in a place called "Hatfield" I think), and some warm (!) beer at a traditional pub on my other visit. I'll file away your suggestions for…

I've been to London twice and didn't have a good time, but I'm not ready to write it off yet. The first time I went the people I was meeting arrived a few days before me and spent that time going to every landmark they could, and by the time I arrived they were wore out and I ended up spending a bunch of time hanging…

Sadly, it wore off.

You're so right. The question was, "Describe your thoughts on the 4 million lazy, ineffectual, humorless people living in Los Angeles, and in your response include at least one derogatory non sequitur."

OMG - how horrible is the giant phantom schlong thing? Those guys not only ruin airplanes but also any form of public transportation. Whenever I see a guy getting ready to sit next to me I automatically widen my stance in a pre-emptive strike just in case....

I think if you're used to living in a city like London, LA, NYC, etc - places with personality - it kind mutates your personality. I spent a few days in NYC and could feel myself turning into Rosalind Russell by the minute. I love visiting other cities and soaking in the culture. I've never understood why some people…

Talk about extremely irresponsible statements, what about the made-up statistics that you pulled out of your ass - size equates to health in 99% of cases? I'd like to see you quote a source on that. In reality there is plenty of evidence to show that many obese people (30 or higher BMI) are as healthy as people with…

Ditto what the others said. I'd appreciate it if you explained how it is that fat people inconvenience you. You say it as if it's self-explanatory. But, I'm not a fat person, and your reasoning is a complete mystery to me.

I wonder what the studies will show for the post 2008 era - after the recession began. Will people regret being parents because of financial problems, or will their children fill a void left when their dreams of career advancement stalled.

I'm I the only one who thinks they look like they could be fraternal twins?

People who engage in risky activities should be aware that regardless of how much care and planning they put into something there is always the chance of disaster. It's that risk that attracts many of them in the first place. Hiking near the boarder of a hostile country that is notorious for a harsh justice system…
