Describing Timeless Trends as good quality is somewhat misleading... as cheap corsets go, they're not the worst. However, you should always remember that you get what you pay for, and you're not actually saving money by buying something cheap that will only last for a very short time. If you're interested in an…

Why would you go to a Renaissance faire for Victorian pantalettes? You're talking about a 400 year gap there. Also, new evidence from Lengberg Castle notwithstanding, "underwear" during the renaissance is still up for debate.

Are you me? Because we're almost twins! I'm slightly shorter (5'2"), also swam in high school, my weight at that time was around 130 and I always thought I would have to starve myself to get to 110 lbs! (Which is considered a healthy weight for my height.) Maybe if I lost all my muscle and had my breasts removed I…

Perhaps, what you should work on then is stress management? I'm certainly not an expert, and I'm sure it's crossed your mind, but if his libido is noticeably higher when you're away from the everyday stresses, that's where I would try to make adjustments. I hope you can work it out, it's hard to be in a sexually…

This came up in one of my art history classes in college when we were looking at a painting by Rembrandt (I don't remember the name of it, but google Rembrandt nudes, you'll get the idea). The professor asked us for our thoughts and reactions to seeing a nude painting of a fuller figured woman, and several people in…

I'm a natural blonde (fairly light) with slightly darker eyebrows, and every time I go to the nail salon, the ladies there want to wax my eyebrows! They're not even that full! And NO! My mother has naturally very sparse eyebrows and I'm scared that mine will disappear as I get older. (Aside from the eyebrow thing,…

So glad someone posted Jennifer Connelly...

I have longish legs for my height... but I'm 5'2", so they're not that damn long... Dresses, all the way. Plus, I'm busty, so anything that defines a waist is my friend. 50s dresses are pretty freaking fabulous.

Also, have you ever handled a cast iron frying pan? They make EXCELLENT weapons.

So, I don't use actual chopsticks in my hair (they're too long), but hairsticks are a great way to secure a bun. And I wear my hair up a LOT, because it is long.

Let me say upfront, that clearly, this is a horrible, offensive, tasteless idea. However, I have to admit that I think the artwork on the flier is really pretty.

Thank you for this. Using the much smaller (but ickier) close ancestor example actually made it a lot clearer and easier to wrap my brain around conceptually.

First of all, why does it have to be Angelina Jolie?! She's so insufferable. Secondly, Maleficent does not have horns (except when she's a dragon), she's wearing a medieval headdress called a henin.

It's an incredibly stupid argument. But saying that the VS catalog is not for men to "fap to" is a little disingenuous. Not saying that's it's only purpose, but come on. The sexy faces are not entirely aimed at women.

The first thing I said when the ipad came out was, "aren't there any women who work there?" It still sounds like a sanitary product to me and I've had however many years now to get used to it...

So much this.

Don't get me wrong either, I really love to sew, and wish I could do it full time instead of working! But it's not an inexpensive solution anymore. :(

Can we all just agree that women who are confident look confident and sexy and hair length has nothing to do with it? I happen to have long hair (halfway down my ass) and I love it for me, but I know people who totally rock a pixie. It's your head, wear it how you like it, and how it makes you feel good and that…

I'm completely on board and supportive of Mr. Wen's plans to pursue a career in plus size fashion, but this "There is a lack of history in this field," is simply not true. There's a near complete lack of recent, modern history, but a few hundred years ago, fashion was all about the curves.
