The article describes a mannequin modeled after Twiggy as being one of the first celebrity look-alikes. I remember one of my first attempts at articulating a feminist opinion back when I was about 9 years old (1969 on 1970) - I wrote "DOWN WITH TWIGGY" on my notebook. I didn't know about body-shaming thin people back…

Meanwhile, my body seems determined to keep me in the reproductive zone, even though I am over 50. Just got my period. Again. FUUUUUUCK. When will this crap be over?

Most perfumes give me huge headaches, too, but essential oils don't. I found a woman on Etsy, Roxana, of Illuminated Perfumes, that makes gorgeous scents from real essential oils. My favorites are Lyra, Page 47, and Cimbalom, but everything she has sent me have been just beautiful.

Me. It's brutal. I drag myself through the dark months. This winter has been a little better - I have the light box, take 5000 IU of Vitamin D, 4000 mg of fish oil, and, the latest thing, St. John's Wort twice a day (three times was too much for me). The St. John's Wort even made it so I was happy the other day for no…

Jane Fonda springs to mind. She's like a woman made of wood. So awful and awkward.

Texas freaks me out. Everything I hear about it is awful, except for people raving about how great Austin is, but then it seems like about 40% of my favorite people online are from Texas (another 40% are from Canada). Why do so many cool people occupy Texas?

Maybe that's because of the files of graded papers and test answers they keep...or is that not done anymore?

Zofran is your friend, Kelly.

I think the most hilarious slang term for vulva is "lady garden" so you know where my imagination is going.

It was so convoluted I can't remember. I do remember some of the more flagrant lies: she was so sensitive to sound she could hear a fingernail scratch on wood 2 rooms away; she had been a victim of a violent crime, so some charitable organization sent her back to school at age 33 to study to be a ballerina...

Well, thanks to right-wingers, I couldn't get a legal abortion of Christmas, so I had to resort to illegal means, and now both Christmas and I are in serious medical trouble.

I had a housemate who was like the Bobby Fischer of lying. She not only lied, she anticipated the questions you might ask and had answers ready. She then had answers to the answers. It was only when another housemate and I began to triangulate her lies that we could catch her.

Hey, there's a Lithuanian saying that means basically the same thing. Don't know spelling, but it's pronounced something like "Snookus pleetya prouschow" and means "A puss begging for a brick." Nice to know that the Northern peoples are all on the same page as far as face bashing.

Have you read the Jezebel tag line? "Celebrity, sex, fashion for women."

Dance, monkey-girl, dance!

And if you have a Spanish style bungalow and you don't use the big old multicolored lights? You need to go live in a HOA gated community as your punishment.

I just heard a recording of Nixon this morning, claiming some trade deal would preserve textile workers' jobs in the US while allowing for more opportunity overseas. What a lying sack of shit. Textile work in US: decimated. Thanks, Dick.

It's a giant sinkhole that just opened up in a neighborhood. One of the things that haunts my dreams, much like Republicans.

Nope. "The Girl Scouts value diversity and inclusiveness and, therefore, do not discriminate on any basis. However, we do not permit the advocacy or promotion of a personal lifestyle or sexual orientation, nor do we recruit accordingly. Indeed, we have firm standards relating to appropriate conduct on the part of all…
