I think the color underneath is her natural skin color. As one pasty white person looking at another, I think the under-color is matching pasty white for her. Despite that, she has a confidence and glamour that is impressive. She’s lovely. (I, on the other hand, use tinted moisturizers and fake tanners.)

And I love calling my eight year old, ‘my sweet potato pie’.

Rick Perry is my own personal fave. He can make me laugh until I cry. He’s so awful, he’s funny. Especially when he stands there trying to figure out why everyone’s laughing or booing. And I love how he’s rocking the glasses these days. Only an idiot thinks fake glasses make you look smart. Just seeing him in them has…

Darn you, Mark. I thought I’d roll my eyes and maybe watch half of this. But here I am, crying! Tears! Ugh.

Fiorina gives me a headache. I would love to have a woman president, but I’m not willing to vote for someone like her or Palin to have it happen. She took a perfectly fine company like Lucent and ground it down before she jumped ship and proceeded to grind down HP. The hubster, still an employee of HP, was told one…

And that stuff should not be mixed with statins. A good friend of mine watched the show and wanted to order some. We googled it and found there was some causal data of greater muscle breakdown issues with people who take statins and this supplement. Of course, there are no scientific studies on any of these…

Kind of OT, but pertinent to your comment Global Beet. There are conservatives in my life who feel that affirmative action has been and is a waste of time and money. Hearing that makes me insane. There is an entire generation of African-Americans who are now middle class and upper middle class thanks to the doors that…

Would social networking have helped me when I was in HS and my parents’ idea of spring break was to take us to see our great-aunt at her half-empty “camp”. It was filled with dusty cottages, a disgusting pool and old people who wanted to play shuffleboard. I probably wouldn’t have called attention to it even if…

When I was a kid, we’d visit my mom’s family in Ireland. My Irish cousins would imitate us Americans. They made us funnier than we actually were (clever funny) but they also made us sound like the Lina Lamont character in Singing In The Rain. “I caant staand it.” So I was delighted and hurt at the same time. Do they…

The angels have the phonebox.

My family moved into a house with "Dusty Rose" carpeting. I felt so goddamn chic.

That is the best best part of Avon. Tiny lipsticks.

I think the internet helped kill Avon. Hard to put to work a home-salesforce if everyone can point and click then have it shipped from a warehouse.

One of my aunts has that stuff too. I didn’t know it was Avon. Now that I think about it, she’s sold Avon all my life. The glassware is cool and scary all at the same time. I wish you well if you inherit it.

My grandmother was a terrible cook too. She boiled everything. She didn’t care if it was meat, chicken, fish, brussel sprouts, spinach, or potatoes. Once in a blue moon, she’d cook rice but it was over-boiled. The whole house smelled of a gas-leak. It got so bad that my grandfather learned how to cook. (I know, a man…

You could put ice in it? To look like that, I’d try.

Awww. As a woman who just noticed some new crowsfeet (sob), give the woman a break. We all age. Thank god she’s not forcing us to look at her stretched and pulled face like some Bravo housewife.

I agree with you Snafoo Tofu. I don’t want to see royal or famous babies. My kids and your kids are so much more interesting. But (you knew this was coming), this little George kid is beyond cute. I have to force myself to close the tab or turn the page when I see those chubby cheeks. Then I remember I thought his dad…

It is hard for you smarties, especially when the rest of us mouth-breathers catch up to you. Then the cute and impressive things you do are just normal.

I guess she can add sexual predator to her CV.
