See, both my boyfriend and I come from large, close families. If we do family only, without excluding aunts, uncles and first cousins (we are close to our cousins like siblings) that would put at near 150-200 people. I think it would be mega shitty to have no friends at our wedding, but since we've both agreed we will…

Could it be because, not long ago and/or in some people's families, EVERYONE gets an invite? Not sure myself, but I ran into something similar when a friend from grad school had us watch her and her fiance's dog when they went on their respective bachelor(ette) trips. I mentioned it offhand to my mom, who then started…

I'm 26 years old, and my parents STILL get upset if I ever let an f-bomb slip in their presence. Had I pulled this shit as I child — screaming "I want a fucking pie!" — I would have been put in the car and driven straight home, probably had TV privileges revoked and/or put on massive time out. Kinda shocked at all…

So, you also think it's OK that this kid (imaginary or not) was shouting "I want a fucking pie!" while the mom was yammering on the phone? You're all wrapped up in this self-constructed idea of the "poor child" deprived of his pie, and have yet to acknowledge the two key facts that made the Pie Guy decide to buy up…

I think we might be talking about the same brand from Target...because those are my chosen ones, and they're absolutely awesome. They don't lose elasticity, they're fucking comfy, and they look good under tight clothing.

I'm with you on this, too. Maybe it's because I have a big, Kardashian-sized ass, but "regular" underwear and I stopped getting along over a decade ago. I, too, don't buy the comfort claims, and I am pretty OK with not having underwear lines show on everything I wear. The big ass means everything fits tight around my…

I learned a lot about cars, and developed my taste for snobby European imports, by watching my dad work on his Porches and Saabs every Sunday out in the garage.

Poor girl needs to hire an editor who won't fuck up her aspect ratios, though.

My cat did NOT like this video. Not one bit.

Ugh, my vag is like an episode of Game of Thrones right now, and my boyfriend still won't stop trying to initiate. I hate period sex :(

Seriously. No mention of "based on the award-winning musical" or "based on that musical all your theatre nerd friends love"? I think that does a huge disservice to the source material, and to Sondheim. This makes it look like another dumb fairly tale flick. (And I say this as someone who isn't a big fan of "Into the…

Arts reviews. Film, TV, books, music, theatre, fine art — WHATEVER. Review or cover works by female artists and bands.

Yes yes yes to more longform pop culture criticism (and maybe even reviews on female-fronted/created works)! That keeps writers like me from being broke!

If boyfriend and I just invited our immediate families (parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, grandparents and first cousins + relevant spouse) we would automatically also have about 250 people. I get anxiety thinking about telling my mom "We just want our parents and siblings, and the rest of the guests to be friends." I…

My boyfriend and I already live together. Some of our things would definitely need replacing if and when we get married — but we're not picky about things matching and would just rather have a house. Even if we did register for some things I could think of would be nice to upgrade to — everyday dishware, flatware, new…

I've kind of accepted that, as I age, I will become more and more like Candice and Toni and I'm 100% OK with that.

I went to college with her son, who was good friends with the dudes in my friend circle. He looked just like her, cheekbones and all.

Except it's not up to you to determine how or where someone else's identity and personal moments are distributed. If you're OK with strangers being able to find pictures of you on the Internet on your wedding day, cool. The OP, much like myself, is not. I don't care that people can see me in public because I control…

Alone and binge eating? Too depressed to work out? Is this Kim Kardashian or myself I'm supposed to be reading about?

yeah, unpopular opinion, but fan fiction is just very, very weird to me. Channel that desire to write into something that can benefit others, like tutoring for an organization like 826 that teaches writing and storytelling to low income kids.
