As an Old, I managed to remain very good friend with all of my (more serious Ex's). Some for the last 20 or almost 30 years.

Oh thank god, the Milliheleners approve highly arched brows. That's my natural shape, and after 35+ years of conscientious plucking there's no going back to the Marguax / Mariel Hemingway (and later Brooke Shields) look.

Paramour would be a good choice. It's genderless.

This past Christmas I was visiting family and friends in the SF Bay Area. One night we went to a critically-acclaimed, upscale Italian / Mezze / Pizza restaurant. This joint was popular too; there was a long queue at the door before the doors had opened for evening service (I don't think this place takes reservations).

Did he say: "Dewar's with a water 'back'?" That would be water on the side...

Did you just not see the names of NFL players included in the list of celebrities, or are you just unwilling to acknowledge their influence on matters of "healthy eating"?

Yes, this is very similar to my style of packing for a business trip, which I had perfected during my 'Ho On the Go phase.

Like I said above: "Practice makes perfect!".

It only takes a bit of practice to fully and properly equip a "Go Bag". As for toiletries and make-up: I keep two complete sets — one for travel, one for home.

I used to keep a overnight / gym bag in the trunk of my car that my brother referred to as: "The 'Ho On-The-Go Bag." In that Go Bag, I had everything I could possibly need for the morning after the night before. I could roll right out of (that someone's bed) and straight into the office. On those days, I'd be so

I would wear the hell out of this thing...

When I used to wear a fluffy / puffy Freedom 'Fro, I would loosely (french) braid or twist my hair so it would lie closer to my scalp, and wear a headband like this in winter:

Virginia has the cheapest cigarette prices in the DC / MD / VA /PA region: American Spirits are ~$5.50 per pack as opposed to ~$8.00 per pack.

I'm calling Suzanne Somers to win it all.

I remember Pursette tampons and I liked them, as they were easy to tuck in your purse (as the name implies) or a pocket. Pursettes were discontinued in the late '70s (I think). By that time OB Tampons (Super and Ultra) had been introduced — they changed my life. Then came the Toxic Shock Syndrome scare, and my Mother

Back in college in 1980-81, I had a room mate that could drink two cases (or more) of TaB diet soda in a week. TaB had zero calories and 45 mg caffeine per 12 oz. can. It was sweetened with saccharin.

I'm not an organic chemist, but I wonder if this is the same mechanism by which Marinol increases appetite?

If I were still 13 0r 14 years old, I would have had Drake posters pinned up all over my bedroom, and would have spent homeroom scrawling his name on all my school notebooks. I definitely would have had his poster taped up in my school locker.

It's the lip gloss that's killing me.

13 year olds can fuck up your night. Don't give a shit about it. Even if you care, pretend not to. That's gonna make you the joke. That's gonna make you someone they can go back to next Friday when they don't have to go to school in the morning. The best thing you can do, even if you're scared shitless—which,
