I think the specific message is that they work just as hard as everybody else but are getting paid less because of age/gender.

Check out the Onion News Network—they spoof the obsession brilliantly.

For some reason, mine always ends up under a pile of my sweater bodies. Try looking there.

Yep, giant clenched fist calves—no tall boots for me either and most skinnies don't fit because I can't get them over my calves. 4 Pairs of jeggings—two corduroy and two denim. Love.

Hugh Jackman preparing to transform again to Huge Ackman? Oh happy day!

I'm going to start donating to his U.S. Senate campaign right now.

@Kit Cloudkicker: Lover her, love her t-shirt, love the kitteh at the end snoozing in a protestor's arms.

Which branch of Islam do these ladies represent?

@SorciaMacnasty: At the height of my sew-iness, I actually had no idea what my commercial size was. I've dusted off the Elna and plan to start up again this weekend.

@Wigwag: I've been humming that tune for a week now in the same context!

Holy crap! I'm three times her age and don't have half her poise.

@cocobanal: I used Breathe Right strips during the NYC marathon (they were included in the swag). Took one off about half way through, suddenly couldn't breathe, stopped and put another one on. Had trouble during this past weekend's race too without them. Maybe it will work for you too.

@Breamworthy: we could be optimistic and assume it means good for her for scoring courtside seats (maybe?)

I have to admit, I do love Special K Chocolately Delight, but I also recognize it for what it is—a bowl of candy, not a meal replacement.

Just a little tweaking in photoshop and this poster would look like they were getting ready to snap Decker in half like a wishbone.

@Dysphoria: Yeah, I was really outgoing when I was younger, but when I realized that I could clear a six foot perimeter at even the most croweded functions I realized that I might be confusing "outgoing" with "asshole". I am much more hesitant to attend social functions nowadays.
