This reminds me of the “real women” episodes of Project Runway that always led to the designers acting like monsters and a model (usually a friend or family member of another contestant) crying. I mean, you really must lack in skill and creativity if it is beyond your ability to create a dress for someone above a size…

It’s bitterly amusing that they are using the fact that they make clothes for only one body type as their defense.

This is pretty much why my child will never be allowed to play in a house that has guns in it.

My dream Elphaba is Kelly Clarkson.

Well put.

Go across the world and see how Western music has been “appropriated” (used as a ridiculous term by narrow-minded people) often extremely badly to a Western ear- by thousands upon thousands of artists. Are Asians, Africans, Middle Easterners, Eastern European etc. etc. being ethnically “mediocre”?

That stream’s not so pure either. If you look back to the oldest country artists - Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Bill Monroe - they were all hugely influenced by Delta blues and and other musical styles that were traditionally black. Music, more than most art forms, seems to be one where different streams are drawn…

People like you are the reason why she likely spent most of the last 500 days blaming herself for what happened to her, just like other rape victims do. Feeling angry towards herself, instead of towards her abuser. “I shouldn’t have worn such revealing clothing.” “I shouldn’t have gotten drunk.” “I should have asked…

Well, unfortunately, legally and to protect my career, I can’t really say anything that would constitute intellectual property of a production company on a public website. Let me just say that there should have been a child advocate on set the whole time but then of course none of the drama would have been allowed to…

Kelly was kind of an idiot. Brooke turned a hard thirteen and was super uninterested in literally everything including dance so she became hard to work with. A bunch of us always pitched the idea of getting rid of Cathy, which was just depressing, and having Kelly and Christi open up a competing dance studio since…

I have half a mind to dismiss your Scranton bullshit.

YASSSSSSSS.

“If you weren’t in love with me, I’m just not sure why you made love with me?”

There’s no scientific data showing that alcohol alone can cause cleft palate. See e.g. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi…, http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/gu…, http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthde….

Cleft palate and lip palate clefts are not diagnostic of fetal alcohol syndrome. Try again.

So what you’re saying is you had friends who drank occasionally while pregnant, who had children with birth defects, and you immediately blamed your friends for drinking, not considering for a moment the possibility of a genetic or other environmental cause.

No. Instead these subjects come up because almost every pregnant woman is immediately judged and pressured and given a plethora of “helpful advice” about everything they’re doing “wrong.” Most things carry risk and most pregnant women have healthy babies despite inherent risk. It’s impossible to not change your…

You are not educated on this topic. Educate yourself and try harder next time rather than baselessly talking shit about other women.

Nonsense. Show me the studies that prove that a glass a week causes serious birth defects. Take your time, I’ll wait.

The whole “there’s no (proven) safe amount” line ignores that there are also amounts that are not proven dangerous, that almost certainly result in no harm to the fetus, but that existing guidelines forbid because nobody fucking knows any better.
