I think it’s relevant for some situations and not other, and depending on where you live, almost cultural. I grew up in places where it was taught that you were a reflection of your man, so your husband expected you to prettify up for him. It’s not to deny your situation, but it can be as likely true a controlling,…

This is how I make many decisions that involve a sig other’s input. I usually skip the first step though...creating 5 options of something, even as low-stakes as food can be work in and of itself.

like, why? Why Nick Cannon? This marketing angle isn’t so weird. But why Nick Cannon? His inclusion makes the industry seem laughably out of touch. Even if the real reason Millenials (which spellcheck is telling me isn’t even a word) aren’t buying diamonds is because they are in debt up to their eyeballs. And why they…

Preeetty sure most people have stopped pretending she’s cute and a trailblazing feminist. Bitch is universally acknowledged to be childish, rude, insensitive, and shameless. Plus that weird svengali thing she has going in in her life...not an ideal

Mmmm no weirder than the rest of their relationship. There is historical precedent for daughters/nieces to fill the role...granted usually when the Prez. was a bachelor or widower. But as you said if Melania is not having it, its kind of a natural thing.

Thanks! I hadn’t realized that TV metrics and response were so nuanced as compared to movies, though it follows for sure. I think you bring up an interesting point regarding the expectations that execs have for a show. It makes me realize that I think we forget that they are looking at a whole line-up and trying to…

There is still this perception-counter to most evidence-that if it doesn’t play with the male demographic of the same age it is a money loser, because those are the peeps who are primary consumers, spend the most on entertainment—-they think. This is a problem in movie industry too.

Not necessarily . This particular Southern Shade has been widely exported but what some don’t understand is that the reason it works so well is that it is just as often used sincerely.

Eloisa James is my own balliwick. I’m always recommending to people. Especially her Duchess series. Her fairytales is more uneven, but When Beauty tamed the Beast, widely noted as a kind of play on the tv show House.

Meet on a melted cheese sandwich makes it a ‘melt’ zoologically. Related but a different species altogether.

This post is going to be a top commented hot button issue, but count me and scores on your side.

Suspiciously close to French toast, friend.

It’s like turkey bacon. When I want *that* it’s fine. It’s its own thing. But holy hell don’t try to give it to me when I want BACON. It’s like that with grilled cheese sandies.

Easy peasier is just to use soft butter and spread it on both sides before you plop it into the pan. Both methods are far superior to the plop butter in a pan method.

Confession: I love to add a very thin layer of mayo to my quesadillas.

Likely, the majority of Obama’s dinners as a type of state function would be prepared by a professional chef. However, when the president and/or their family is eating a meal that has no relation to governance, they actually would have to pay the White House chef. It’s kind of fascinating. I think I read a piece that…

Somehow I get the impression that the game new for rich kids most particularly have the problems with abuse? Something like the line is a lot thinner when you are relegating responsibility of raising your kid into a stiff upper lipper to a group of stodgy people more concerned about their reputations than when you are…

I have absolutely no perspective because I am a douchey phone user too but when someone...so I was in a mall once, texting on my phone going with traffic and a crew of out-of-towners were walking three abreast on the “wrong” side come toward me. Much as I am texting, I am maintaining spacial awareness so I step to the…

yeah these are the major plot holes that I think we just have to shrug and go along with. Seemingly anyone with a familiarity with how technology works (and I don’t know much at all) has to squint to accept some of the plot.

Don’t know about your particular background but when people are talking about Rory’s situation, they point to how girl has had every advantage and when she encounters tough times seems to just give up. Don’t feel bad though; I think people biggest issue, especially with this Netflix special, is hat she seems to just…
