@KATE!: I was told by the bra lovelies that if you don't wash your bras often enough, the sweat and grime from your body break down the elastic and fabric of the bra so they start losing their elasticity. This is not a good thing as they're hoisting your melons all day and need all the spring they can get. …

@KATE!: For years I wore a size 40 B or C, thinking that was my size. Then I went to see the lovely ladies at my local bra shoppe and discovered I was a 38DD! Blew my mind. My girls have been perky, perky, perky since then! Oh - and during the same visit I was read the riot act about washing my bras - I didn't do…

Every time Jez posts about the pageant kids/moms I skip it. Tonight is the first time I watched the vids and I'm so sorry that I did.

@Treeless: "...I literally feel like contact with him is killing me." I absolutely get that. At the end of the day I decided it's my dad or me, so I chose me. There's part of me that still feels selfish for doing so, but, like you, I feel like bits of me die when I'm around him. I feel melodramatic writing that,…

@lalie (apologetic mess): I would believe your stories. Thanks for responding. #drewbarrymore

My father is an alcoholic w/ NPD and my mother - after 50 years of being married to him - died last November. I truly believe that she would have lived longer had she not just been so damn tired - her spirit was entirely spent after so many years of taking care of him.

@pmarble: You're no sucker. You just have a big heart. #balloonboy

@Katxyz: I know - can you even imagine? Let's hope those same workers can come through this w/ some grace. I think I'd be too enraged to have any forgiveness for them - at least not right now.

@RollsRoyceRevenge: HA! #balloonboy

"We went into body discovery mode, so emotions were running very high..."

@Lolita Hazed: I've posted below to a couple of others, but all those posts were inspired by yours... I think it's fabulous that you're 19 and still a virgin. It may seem old, but it's so not. I was 22 - a grandma compared to my girlfriends who were losing it at 14, 15 years old. At the time they all pointed and…

@TallyCola: Happy is good. I don't know about you, but I have loads of girlfriends who have truly awful "first-time" stories... The back of a station wagon one-night stand in Nova Scotia, head banging against the back door; another who lost it at a party w/ a dude who then didn't speak to her on Monday morning at…

@Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: That's so deeply funny about your BF. Me and my BF made a deal - when we were about 15 - that when either of us lost our virginity we'd call the other and say, in a Lauren Bacall voice, "I'm ruined..." HA! And that's exactly what I did, the day after Mr. Cummings and I first played spin the…

@Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Amen, sister. I was 22, losing my virginity was totally on my terms and it was really, really good. I'm so glad I waited until it was a conscious choice.

@not_zooey: A narcissist wouldn't perceive himself as being an abuser, so the cameras would be welcome. #balloonboybarfs

@girlzilla: I've been teaching for the last fifteen years - primarily women between 20 and 30 - and the majority of those women have big self-esteem issues. Frankly, it seems to me quite simplistic to say that a woman, young or old, should be able to see that "no one can make you feel a certain way unless you LET…

@Ms. Crankypants: Glad you agree. And great handle, by the way! I am a long-time wearer of crankypants and simply won't give them up - they never go out of style.

@sarasasa: First of all, I'm not American - but just b/c I'm not American doesn't mean I don't think that Vogue's spread is offensive.

Cheering/weeping after I read this poem the first time, I read it again and imagined I was one of the celebs who signed the "Free Polanski" petition.

@AvaAdore: I appreciate and respect what you and everyone else have posted about how it might be possible that Vogue genuinely didn't know that blackface is offensive, but I'm not buying it. The photographer is American and it's French Vogue for god sake. I will absolutely assume that at least one person who had…
