i remember the news coverage. it was a media circus and i remember being angry that anyone thought to keep a son from his father based on political ideology. at that time i remembered another case where a muslim child was placed with a christian family (don’t remember the particulars) but there was an emphasis that…

I think you are refering to the case in Argentina (as per this account) when the military junta killed members of the left wing opposition and gave their small children to wealthy right winger supporters for ‘adoption’. And didn’t tell people. The group called in English Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo are dedicated to…

I’m pretty sure we inherited siestas from the Spanish, so I am absolutely okay with travelling to places with siesta culture. It’d be the best thing.

The bottomline is that she is wise as hell, fun, hip and a pretty empowered woman who didn’t take crap from people to get where she is. She is a role model and I am definitely going to be as active of her when I am her age and throughout my whole life if I can help it. Your assumptions of what is fun and hip and who…

I love how Jezebel commenters are like

So, main point aside, I don’t understand the logic behind, “I’m not a part of group X, so I’m unqualified to make any observations about them.” statement.

I mean, if this was taken to it’s logical conclusion, then we could protect every religious, political and bigoted group there is by simply stating that you don’t…

Blackface never meant “having a black face”, anyway. It means, “performing a gross racial caricature of black people”. Is she doing that? No. Is there any indication whatsoever that this was some kind of racist caricature? No. The manufactured outrage is fucking inane. Furthermore, getting het up about irrelevant shit…

Does going off the grid include apologizing to the woman he assaulted?

I’m an SLC alum, in the same cohort as Nev. Last weekend I got together with some fellow SLC peeps I haven’t seen in a while, and of course talked at length about how bizarre it is that of all people, Nev has “made it” and the whole scandal thing (a few of us were actually at the party in question; fun times). And…

Sephora kind of is upscale retail, though???

They are primarily a makeup store. I am confused, what are you upset about?

There was actually discussion in the comments about male customers at Sephora. And is it really that shocking that the discussion about a makeup store on a women's website is mostly focused on women? Really. I don't imagine the Spehora employees miss you terribly much.

So you're assuming only women wear makeup? Well now.

Yes! Sephora ladies recommended Sephora's line of stain's yesterday, and the peony color is my new favorite favorite lip item. I'm yellow pale with light coloring, and it looks so amazing.

I love it, but formulas do not perform uniformly on different people. Tons of people love Diorshow, for instance, but I hate it and can never get it to work for me. A lot of make up is trial and error, honestly.

I realize it doesn't really matter ultimately to the quality of the show... but I live in Hollywood, and that's not really what it looks like. Maybe more like Pembroke Pines. Still, funny show.

They don't call it Hollyweird for nothing. A French-Candian outpost in a state of Spanish and English speakers, locals still do the Hustle dance (to whatever music happens to be playing) in front of the bandshell dozens of times a day. Truly one of the most odd spots I have ever visited.

I'm sure someone will come tell me otherwise, but I've long said that anti-semitism and vague racism against Asians are the remaining socially acceptable forms of racism in liberal American circles.

It seems as though rape isn't taken as seriously as racism

I ask these questions extremely cautiously.
