Based on the 2nd picture (I didn't watch the show)... Constance is looking very DC style; Charleston is definitely NOT.

People do dress more conservatively in DC than NYC or LA. Flats aren't ubiquitous, though. It's a fair mix of heels, flats, and boots. (I live in Northern VA but go into DC at least once a week and like to people watch.)

Dude. I remember reading the "real" Little Mermaid when I was a kid and being somewhat traumatized by the fact that both her AND her pops got turned into freaking seafoam. Not cool, Hans. Not cool.

I never have any problems with USPS. I can't remember the last time something was "lost in the mail." I rarely need to send anything out of state; but w/in my state, even first class packages and letters are usually delivered in 2-3 days.

Yes, I watched Dawson's Creek for the first couple seasons but as soon as Joey/Pacey happened it got too awful for even my angsty teenage self to handle.

I was about to reply and say basically the exact same thing. The DISPATCH is important because it alliterates with DISGRACE.

I was a teenager in the late 90s / early 00s and was all about some industrial rock and trip hop, which are basically the angstiest genres of music... Nine Inch Nails, Stabbing Westward, Portishead, Massive Attack, etc.

My ex had very distinctive long red hair that was completely insidious and managed to weasel its way into the damnedest places, so I constantly had this internal monologue of "Your hair is everywhereeeeeeeeeeeee".

ON IT!

My younger sister and I got dolls in '89 or '90. My sister was a little spoiled bitch, so her Samantha doll was a good personality match. I wasn't into dolls but kinda dug Molly's retro style... and she was totally the gayest of the original girls.

I don't know if it's me or the areas where I've lived or a combination of both... but I've probably only been harassed on the street a few times ever. Where do people live in the US besides NYC and get harassed this relentlessly?

I'm 31 and vote EVERY YEAR. (I live in VA where state elections are on odd years.)

Every state gets two Senators. Representatives are allocated based on population.

Non-discrimination laws in most places in America only cover religion, race, gender, age, and ability. You can be fired for any other reason besides those.

Same in Virginia. ENDA is just an important as marriage (maybe more so). We can't lose sight of that.

There's more to it than that... There is an element of gender non-conformity for a lot of people who aren't trans. I was a serious tomboy from early on. My parents used to joke about how I would never wear dresses or play with dolls when I was a toddler. However, I have never felt like I wasn't in the right kind of…

The one Linda Ellerbee Nick News scene I remember very distinctly was during a special about safe sex or HIV/AIDS or something and she put a condom on over her hand and rolled it all the way down to her elbow to prove that "I'm too big for a condom" was a bullshit excuse.

My friend keeps trying to convince me to move west. But, at 31 years old, I know my lifetime of East Coast Cynicism is just too ingrained in my personality for that to ever work.

On paper, when I got involved with my last ex, I was dating up. She had a slightly better job, graduated with a 4 year degree (I dropped out), and was much more conventionally attractive (I'm not fugly but am pretty fat). Fast forward a couple years and I realize that I'm much more intelligent and intellectually…

Flying internationally with no baggage? Guarantee of a full body cavity search by the TSA, if I ever saw one.
