Unfortunately, in Latin American communities (esp. poorer Latin communities), overweight kids are pretty common. It has a lot to do with Hispanic cultural values that encourage kids to eat as much as they can to "grow strong" — that's why my dad was a grossly overweight kid growing up in Cuba. (I know a lot of…

My school's proms were date mandatory. The week before senior prom, a lot of my friends were starting to guilt trip me about not going with them — so, I decided to ask a junior I knew from jazz band to come with me for fun. (By this time, all the senior guys I knew already had dates.)

My high schools' proms were date mandatory. I don't regret not being able to go, but man — that's a pretty shitty position for a high school to take.

My alma mater is on this list, and the past year has really seen a growth/increase in the amount of students involved with on-campus feminist organizations and male rape education/prevention groups. These issues coming to light have only made students more vocal and more concerned about how women are treated on…

As someone who went to a school on this list, I would never, ever dissuade a female student from attending my alma mater in favor of a female-only college. The publicity my school has received for its mishandling of a rape case has only made our feminist groups on campus more vocal, more active and more committed to…

Lucky Peach is the best thing to happen to magazines in a long time. Also, Roy Choi rules. (And while Choe is a douche, I didn't think that LA episode of 'Parts Unknown' sucked because it was very, very emblematic of Koreatown and that segment of LA culture. I thought it was the first time Bourdain didn't shit on LA…

My aunt used to work at a small local museum, and when I was a teenager, they had a vintage wedding dress exhibit and fashion show. Since I am super short — and was super skinny when I was 17/18 — she needed me to model some of the dresses that were smaller than modern sizes. My favorite was a 30s dress that looked…

Yeah, that has some of the info I've seen everywhere. I still have no idea what she "does" or how she met Sterling.

I'm 25 (26 in two weeks) and this is exactly my daily makeup routine. Haters gonna hate. I love my winged eyeliner and bright lipstick.

I've worn black eyeliner (in different styles) almost daily since I was in high school. My current incarnation of eyeliner-wearing is a subdued cat eye made with liquid liner.

I use it to document cool MCM interior design (since our house is mostly filled with MCM furnishings and we're slowly adding to the collection), neat ways to display houseplants, and to collect pictures of California Craftsman homes from the teens and 20s. I never look at anything anyone else posts, and I think that…

Off topic and not like it matters at all (I'm just confused and curious): Has anyone been able to pinpoint who V. Stiviano actually is, how she and Sterling met in the first place, and how old she actually is? Everything I've read gives all these different "legal" names for her. LA Times says she's 31, something else…

Why does the tense shift so much in his "story"? Not only is this man a sexist bigoted asshole, looks like he's lost all of his marbles, too.

Nope. I've been told many, many times by SJW's here that being biracial just means I'm "white."

I actually just bought a 2012 Volvo last month, and I'm super super thankful that it's built like a tank and has Bluetooth calling. I now permanently keep my cell phone in my bag on the car floor where it belongs.

What the fuck is a jezebel never heard of that shit before this like?
They grown ass women harassing teenagers with kleptomania who steal from walmart to get by when they starving and they mom cant pay rent

I took my two nieces to Disneyland this weekend, and the wait to "meet" the characters from this movie was over TWO HOURS LONG. I seriously don't get it.

I was always that kid, too! It goes way, way back to late elementary/early middle school when I refused to do a book report on fucking Hatchet.

They both have insanely annoying, shrill voices.

Mayor McCheese wore it first, clown.
