Funny, when I first started serving again, I was reading the orientation manual and it said that no visible tattoos or facial piercings allowed as some guests find it "distasteful" and "offensive", and thinking, "wait, restaurants are still allowed to do that?" But yeah, I also got written up the other night because I…

Just bc sexual purity is valued high in another country like India (for ex) does't mean you are not "attuned" on understanding it. No, it's just as gross over there as it is here ad is rooted in the same archaic bullshit that a woman is only valuable when she is pure. And it's okay to say so without being wishy…

Her outfit is everything to me and bringing memories of being 13 and BEGGING my mom to buy me shoes like that and her telling me I was too young, then my grandma buying me a similar pair anyway, and my mom freaking out on her.

Great advice, thanks so much!

Ohh, cool, that stuff looks like it will really help. Thanks!

Oooh, girl, my first class back I had to leave halfway through bc I really was going to faint. There was another girl who followed me a min later in so it wasn't too embarrassing but I learned some lessons I can pass on.

I just got back into hot yoga about a month ago and it's doing wonders. My skin doesn't break out as much and I'm so much more bendy (I need to find a man so I can put this to use, heh). I have both the Jade and the Lululemon mats and honestly, I slip on both of them. Am I not strong enough to stay put? Does it take…

Nah, Ontario.

Ugh so sorry to hear that. After 30 yrs of marriage, my dad did the same to my mom this year and as I type this he's in Vegas whoring it up with some 18 year old girls (at least that's what his FB photos are telling me). He pulled the same "I need to find himself" bs, and it makes me sick to my stomach to see this…

I was explained that the 4% given to the kitchen, hostesses, and bar but both bartenders and cooks tell me they don't see it (I'm assuming the same for the hostesses) and the management pockets it. I live in Canada where we have pretty good regulations for this shit and I'm appalled they've been getting away with…

Uggghhhh Just when I thought I was done for good, I took a serving/bartending job for the extra income. I had my first shift and I'm already over it. I can't believe I put up with this shit for so long. And get this. My tip out is a whopping 4% and we don't have a dishwasher which means we have to pay 1% to do our own…

It means that on paper, in practice there's a lot more political weight (and luggage) that comes with it, and pretending not to see that is foolish. As a fellow feminist, I can absolutely see why women would shy away from that word, when women like me are still being called "subservient" for wearing heels and shaving…

For all the shit Taylor got for not calling herself a feminist, she really seems to be a girl's girl. Not meaning feminine and girly, but being pro-woman and just a really good friend who truly cares about her fans.

I'm stuck on the "structure" part of your comment bc there are plenty of places to get that sans religion. I feel like those who become religious do so more for the sense of purpose, peace, and comfort that believing in a higher power brings them, although, you could also say that you can derive peace and comfort from…

I think you're pretending not to get it so you can be judgmental. I'll tell you this, I have recorded (only on tape, this was when I was a kid) my parents beating the shit out of me, and then I would listen to it back. I did this bc it gave me something tangible to work to wrap my head around and "proof" in case…

Oh, Taylor (46 sec mark), you just keep doing you.

Yeah, it was very Night At the Roxbury-ish.

I suddenly have a craving for candy necklaces (also, I can't wait until demure and classy is back in again).

Actually, it can look pretty close, especially if you want natural looking implants. Doctors have been doing this for a really long time, so I'm not sure why the NYT is acting like it's some new thing. I also think this is what Paris Hilton has been doing to her boobs.

Pretty sure I have a bigger mustache than Justin does #humblebrag #gotitfrommymama
