It isn't appropriative. Africa has a strong claim to Muslim culture.

I will never understand why anyone would risk going to jail for an orgasm. Even if you're into something weird, you can just conjure up filthy imagery in your head and jerk off. Do they not know this?

I love SJP but her hair is too dark, her thick eyeliner makes her look like she is squinting and the cut of the dress does nothing for her adorable body. Not her best look.

For anyone rolling their eyes at the idea of cooling your beer in a squishy rotten pumpkin, these uses presume that your pumpkin was probably previously uncarved... y'know, as a decorative gourd rather than a jackolantern. Just sayin'.

It doesn't matter if anyone is really going to rape her. The threat of raping someone is fucked up either way.

LOVE IS DEAD is the shittiest news of the week. So very much entertainment value gone forever.

Saying that fat people need to "put down the cookies, stop complaining about a lack of plus sizes and go outside" isn't good advice, it's being an asshole.

Ok, let me break down your post for you, because I was so confused that I had to break it down for myself in an attempt to understand its purpose:

And they may not be the sexiest beasts out there, but I love anything Pyrex

Le Creuset. If you can save up (or get them as extra-special presents), they are totally worth every penny. I've got a large braiser and a 7 qt french oven, and they are my favourite things ever. Plus, they're so pretty, and last forever!

Yeah, you lost me at "amazingly talented Bret Easton Ellis..."

I'm a little bit confused about what I'm supposed to take away from this article.

I think that's kind of simplistic when a lot of Hoodoo is very much based in Vodun tradition. Hoodoo is more syncretic (very similar to, say, Santeria) b/c it includes traditions from not only Vodun, but from Native American and European religions, but to call it "folk magic" does it a disservice. If anything, that…

Hmm. I'm not quite sure, but it sounds like there is a bit of confusion between Voodoo (or Vodun) and Hoodo, which seems to be the issue here. Vodun is a religious system that emphasizes the spirituality and mystical nature of the world. What most people think of when they think of Voodoo - the dolls, the…

The Blonds are George Michael and Madonna from her Sex book. ETA: God Bless Heidi Klum and her awesome costumes.

This is what I always say, and the next reply is always ALLEGEDLY. SHE DROPPED THE CHARGES AND SHE WAS ALSO CRAZY! Fair enough, but many more go unpunished than go falsely accused so y'all can keep your Fassbender; I wouldn't risk it.
