I was 15. My abuser was 24. For years I called him my ‘ex-boyfriend’. He was groomed me, but he will say it was ok because he waited till I was 16 before we had sex.

It really, really wasn’t.

Because women like Amber can ‘pass’, perhaps. I agree with you. Amber is a WoC. How this is difficult for people to understand is beyond me.

I can only speak for myself, and for me...the honest answer is that I don’t. Not really. I’m much better than I was (thanks to therapy), but there is still a part of me that is waiting for it to happen again. I’m ok with very close friends and family, but with other people I am definitely very aware that they could…

Happened to me too.

Something will turn up, and you will have an epically awesome day that is YOURS and you will eat all the delicious food until you feel happily bloated and a little bit guilty about the last sliver of cake you nommed.

I promise.

First thought is don’t tell them it’s for a wedding. Just don’t. Prices PLUMMET.

Did Taylor Swift piss in Gawker Media’s cornflakes or something?

How does someone get thrown in jail for a routine traffic stop? Apart from (#drivingwhilstblack of course)

She’s right, it’s HARD.

It doesn't matter what she was doing, she hit him in the rear. In English law, she's automatically at fault regardless.

Yup, it can be. It’s practically a toiletry for many drag queens ;)

That is what ‘Goo Gone’ is really for. Trust me.

I have acrylic nails, and I do ALL of these things (well, apart from fighting off attackers...but you know, if I had to I could). I’m in the UK where workers are protected anyway, and I go to a Chinese-run salon, and they are lovely guys who do a good job. It’s not expensive, it’s a way of winding down on a saturday…

Two words for you.

JAFFA. CAKE.

That is all.

But then this happened, and all is well now.

If you open your mouth, it stops you blinking so much. That’s why we do it. True facts.

I’ve got red, orange, yellow and pink in my hair (and some black that I am slowly bleaching/growing out), but I steer clear of blue/green colours because THIS happened when I tried to get rid of it...

No, but the industry thinks it is.

Oh she doesn’t think he is the perfect man. How could he have been? HE DIDN’T EVEN LIKE CHEESE.

In all seriousness, she knows he is a twat. He pushed the relationship forward, pushed past her own issues regarding commitment, told her he loved her, reassured her that he was in it for the long haul...and then when she…

My best friend still pines for a wanker who dumped her five years ago. They dated for less than six months, but it damn near killed her. He was the perfect bloke until he decided couldn’t commit himself to her or anyone as he had to travel a lot with work.

I did everything by the book. Told my ex before I told our son, and didn’t sugar the pill. My ex is a control freak and hated the fact that it was me that ended things. At that point, any attempt to be nice meant that I must want him back, so it was easier to be matter-of-fact.
