right? i wish i'd known about these magical things ten years ago when i was just starting my semi-professional career and working downtown WHERE THE WIND WHIPS BETWEEN BUILDINGS and blows even seemingly immune skirts up past my ass.

as i stated, all of the competitions do not need to take place IN beijing, so it's kind of a moot point.

that doesn't really matter. it actually DOES snow there more frequently than you implied, and even if it didn't, it doesn't snow in Sochi either. you don't have to hold all of the competitions in beijing proper.

are you serious? if you are a Christian, it's not that it's hard, it's that you can't because you don't follow/believe Muslim teachings. sure, she can lie, but she'd probably suffer the same fate because she's a fucking woman in Sudan.

girl, yes. i just cannot get behind the physical fascination with this man AT ALL.

amanda seyfried would be perfect.

amanda seyfried.

i'm gonna go ahead and say hell no to scarlett and hell yes to amanda seyfried.

omg, those all sound amazing! especially the cicada. i'd love to see some pictures if you have access to any!

rebecca, i think it's really cute that you no longer allow my comments on your articles simply because i asked you a question that somehow managed to REALLY piss you off. and it was related to tooth tattoos, no less! that's hilarious that you let it get you that upset. perhaps you're in the wrong profession...?

i think that story IS a lie. they were probably huffing nitrous and passed out.

it was a game of ether/nitrous oxide. i'd put money on it.

that's YOUR experience, not all experiences. i went to high school in a rural area of tennessee, about 30 minutes outside of nashville. we had gay couples - male and female - who were accepted and included just as heterosexual couples were. there was rarely any fights or violence, and many different…

good God, woman! giving Elizabeth Taylor a run for her money, eh?

pfffft. my daughter is going to a sleepaway camp about 4 hours away and it's $350. they feed them well and do all kinds of activities with them, and she loves it. these rich people are just too TOO.
