Bingo. If it didn't work, no one would care. Supply and demand, etc.

Similarly, I'm a food writer. People expect to see shots of my food. I limit the cat pics, but the food is my (literal) bread and butter.

I <3 my Louis Vuitton Damier bags, but I swear as soon as I bought one, I saw them EVERYWHERE. Ubiquity. Hmpf.

I want a Chanel 2.55 maxi with a passion. It will wait until I get new living room furniture. Sigh. Adulthood.

My theater did this a few months ago and I'm seriously wondering how we didn't make it into Jezebel at this point. Coincidentally, it got tons of play... on that non-basic cable channel in "Cincinnatti" that Jez covers a few articles up. :)

Y'all know WKRC is a local ABC affiliate and not basic cable, right? Bob's a great guy— hilarious emcee, too.

We have other stuff too, promise!

It wasn't difficult for me— no kids, not a ton of assets— except that my ex dragged his feet on lots of things. For my friends with children or lots of assets, it seems to be much harder.

I am so fascinated by this and really want to hear more.

I am a proud Cincinnatian who happens to work in Columbus. If I don't go to Jeni's every time I'm up there (once a month or so) I feel like I wasted a work trip. SO much better than Graeter's (mind you, they're different styles, w/e, but I like Jeni's better). You should check out her cookbook— making her ice cream…

Grape.

That's not a stock photo, which makes it even better. :)

Way to be condescending. I live in a low-income neighborhood, and if kids came to my door (our building is set up weird— we don't get trick-or-treaters :/) I'd probably give out full-size snickers or something equally rad to kids who probably need a little lightness. And I don't mean of the "less weight" variety. …

"vegetable baggies of condescension" is officially the best thing I've heard this morning.

I live in an urban area, and every time I go out I get a comment. On Saturday I got 3 within 100 feet (drunk football fans getting off of a party bus). I am neither ugly nor gorgeous, have a few extra pounds, but I happen to be female.

Aren't ALL Simpson holidays awkward?

ATL > MSP, which isn't linear (E, F, G are one mishmash that makes no sense) and has crappy food. Give me ATL any day.

In that university's defense (I got my M.Ed. there), they also told Romney they wouldn't let HIM speak. I was equally enraged until I found that out.

Oh, totally agree. I think life in prison might be a bit excessive, but I appreciate how serious they're taking it, if that makes sense.

or maybe we should force them to fly in the middle seat in the row near the toilets on US Air in between two gruff businessmen with no concept of personal space for two years straight. That's way worse than 6 months in prison and not being able to fly.
