This. I think the interest of the child and giving a child a stable home should trump familial relations. If her relatives were so great, why wasn’t she placed with them from the beginning? I also think there should be a limit to how long is given to birth parents to get their shit together. If a kid has been in the…

The girl is 6 and this is the only family she’s known since she was a year old. Her bio dad is clearly not equipped to take care of her (and lost another child to CPS) and I’m sorry but politics should be set aside and the child’s happiness and welfare should be what the decision is based on, period. This has been her…

Perfume is one of those things where it's perfectly OK to be a snob. No apologies.

Bel Respiro. It’s fucking amazing and very clean but still complex.

Actually not so exclusive anymore, as you can now buy it online from Chanel as well, you don’t have to physically go to a Chanel boutique. It’s one of the Les Exclusifs line - re-issues of old Chanel perfumes by Ernest Beaux, Coco’s original perfumer.

Not gonna knock expensive perfumes. I wear a ridiculously overpriced Chanel scent that is only available in their boutiques. It’s smaller and pricier than regular Chanel perfumes but it smells divine on my skin, gets me compliments from friends and strangers alike, and I also love that no one knows what it is.

Not necessarily. My mom’s a twin and she had twins.

Almost the fact same weight my brother and sister (twins) were. I don’t even know how my mom was able to move at all during those last 3 months.

It is. My brother and sister (twins) were over 8lbs and almost 8lbs respectively. And my mom carried them to term. She is a pregnancy superheroine.

Phew. I feel so relieved. I’ll leave you and your 5 year-old’s palate to it then.

I feel sad for you. I guess you should stick to grilled cheese and chicken fingers.

What sounds awful? The food? God, I feel sorry for you if you can’t appreciate the food in Peru, it’s probably some of the best in the world.

But I thought we were ‘supposed’ to hate Tarantino, per the Jezebel Diktat?

Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, I don’t want kids but parenting seems a lot less awful if you have cash for a big house, nannies, boarding schools and really expensive wine for when you do have to spend time with your kidlets.

I don’t like Nadal’s game. I think it’s bruteish and not graceful at all. I didn’t know it was mandatory to like a player’s tennis? I never said he wasn’t effective and doesn’t win. I said it’s not a game that I enjoy watching, unlike Federer’s, which is much more elegant.

It’s not just me (though, if it helps, I lived in South America and have been to Peru many times). Do a little research, sweetie.

In my experience, former fat kids who grow up hot either are more kind because of that experience, or huge jerks. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. At least that’s been my experience.

Exactly. Having known several ‘former fat kids’ who then grew up to be hot, it can go one of two ways: the experience either makes you more empathetic and kind, or it does the total opposite and turns you into a total jerk.

It’s fusion cuisine though. Both Nikkei and Chifa are examples of that.

I was wondering about that too and the only explanation I can think of is that if most of what he did took place in England where the age of consent is lower than 18, then maybe it wasn’t considered child pornography?
