This reminds me of the Helen Gurley Brown skit on SNL: "I think we should embrace women of all types - thin women, slender women, tiny women, narrow women, long, lanky women, tall, skinny women, svelte women.. there's room for all of us on God's green earth."

@CurtCole: There's some sort of kinda old-timey abortion where they fill the womb with saline or something? I can't remember exactly what it is, and I think it's more like it triggers a miscarriage. Maybe that's what they did?

Dear London,

She just looked and sounded sooo much like when the Canadians get angry on South Park.

@stacyinbean: Someone email Meg Frost at Cuteoverload. She needs to send an investigative team down.

@nessalicious: I've told this story on Jez before, so apologies for the repetition, but my friend's mother had this wreath of dried flowers that she didn't want anymore so she chucked it in the compost heap. A while later, these lovely flowers started growing out of it, and she like them so much she transplanted them

@EkaterinaBallerina: Ahahaha, this sounds veeerrry familiar. I spent a good amount of time (or possibly a minute, it's hard to tell) totally amused that I was high on flowers.

VIDEO NOW PLEASE.

@swashbuckling: Atlantic City. Which can be dodgy, but I wasn't, like, wandering down the boardwalk by myself at 3am, you know? Or getting away from the tourist-y areas.

She sort of reminds me of a co-worker who totally freaked out when she found out that I a) walked by myself the two blocks from the Convention Center to the hotel, b) walked to the drugstore across the street AFTER DARK OMG, c) went down to the casino and had two beers while I gambled ALONE and d) ordered room service

@CurtCole: I know that I, for one, only feel comfortable while on vacation to The Land of Misfit Toys.

@Hell on Heels: It used to. Not the same, in caliber or content, as Vogue used to have, but they'd have like one or two celebrity or designer profile pieces, an article about something fashion-related, like the fake bag trade or why we wear nail polish, the obligatory diet and nutrition piece and then some science-y

@Trulymadlyme: I also get Tatler, and that seems to be weathering the economic storm quite well. It hasn't lost a ton of pages and is still mostly articles- of course, usually their on the hottest aristocrat of the week, but still interesting. Also, this year is their 300th anniversary, so every month has had a sort

@Trulymadlyme: Vogue has been taking it's own dieting advice. Also, Bazaar was total crap this month. There was one article that was a whopping two pages about ovarian cancer to commemorate the ten year anniversary of a former editor in chief. The rest was little blurbs about clothes. It's a fashion magazine, I

@MissMoneypenny: Exactly. If I had a child born with a cleft palate, I'd be sad- for them. There's going to be a lot of painful surgeries in his or her future, and knowing you kid is going to hurt is terrible for a parent. I mean, I'm speaking about a theoretical child and it's got a knot in my stomach. However,

@Majrhoulihan: Especially when police are firing into crowds of protesters. You, as an adult, can make the choice to risk your life for your cause, but you can't make that choice for your child.

I would probably skip by babies who had something seriously wrong with them too, because it's sad. I'm a big pansy.

@MissMoneypenny: That was fairly popular in the high school I went to in Germany. It's not bad. For some reason it was referred to as "kaltes mushi (mooshi? I only ever heard the word), or "cold pussy". I have no idea why.

@Khrushchev: Also, I don't know if you know, but British sizes are different than American sizes.
