You were a much wiser 13 year old than most and should be proud— good for you to have that kind of self-possession in middle school!

My theory is: the scalp is alive and the hair is dead, thus expensive shampoo is an investment, while conditioner is damage control

This is how I feel about most charming hollywood actors who have real life character defects. Lots of people love Tom Cruise movies and think Scientology is terrible. Proceed to enjoy!

No, there’s certainly nothing cut and dry about it, and of course, you wouldn’t be friends with someone in the first place if there weren’t a lot of great, loving, touching, supportive moments. But inconsistency is also a part of abusive behavior. Try to talk to them about what they’ve said or done that has been…

Oh goodness. You’re describing me two years ago. In addition to my very critical family, I had a “best friend” who enjoyed using me as her whipping boy (girl). It reached a breaking point, we got into a fight, I said goodbye. It was so hard to let go because I had been trained by my family to think that being in bad…

leave social media.

Choosing my voluntary social engagements to be with supportive, compassionate people whom I have genuine affection and fondness for. That also means refusing to engage with people who will make me feel like shit, which unfortunately for them, means skipping the weekend phone call with my parents.

BRILLIANT

Yeah! I was wondering that re: danielle brooks, i don’t think its just the hemlines fault, it looks like the angle of the photo that is truncating everyone

What Kholé and I have in common is what I have in common with every other human person on this planet: I, too, love water.

cheek implants? face lift? there is something kind of drastic looking— beyond kontouring— going on there.

Blen is good. Sounds like Blah. Which is what I feel about the narrative of two sad albeit good looking divorcés finding comfort in each other. It makes sense, its just not a very tantalizing. Its Blen.

I ask this is all seriousness, do you write jokes for a living?

WITH JUST A DASH OF TALENTED MR RIPLEY

Thank you for reminding me of 1999, when I too wore braces and plucked my eyebrows clear off my face.

Karl Lagerfield is such a jackass.

Fun facts! Katy Perry, Zooey Deschanel, and Christina Hendricks are natural blondes; it seems what they all have in common is that they (were told that they) looked kinda dull and ordinary (for the pop music/hollywood world) as blondes and when they changed their hair color — bombshells, each and every one.
