@Justine: I remember trying on one of those water bras, remember those from about 10 years ago? Same effect and same feeling—looked great, but I couldn't get past the false advertising.

@Lorin Taylor: I am sure I'm not the only one here who can safely say that even if I was the lowest healthy weight for my height, my body structure would make it impossible for me to fit into a model size. I've got broad shoulders and those, more than my weight, have affected sizes for me all my life.

Wait, I missed the part where lesbians can't be wives and mothers? When did that happen?

Victoria Holt. Sure she wrote a lot of historical fiction that's pretty above-board, but when you hit stuff like On The Night of the Seventh Moon, or India Fan, or Judas Kiss...

What does a green corduroy purse I bought at Target for $14 say about me?

When I first read the headline of the story I thought she was complimenting him.

@BlackFrancine: This is some of the hipster classism. A huge amount of the subculture is based on more or less pretending to be lower-class by spending too much money on flannel shirts and trucker hats, and PBR became part of it—drinking working man's beer etc etc.

For anyone reliving HP addiction, the guy who brought us Mark Reads Twilight is now reading Harry Potter (and he loves it, unlike Twilight!). Just about to start Prisoner of Azkaban if you want to read along!

Hermione is stylin'.

@Breamworthy: Also, your shoe size never changes. You can gain and lose weight, and have ten pairs of jeans in ten different sizes, but a good pair of shoes will always fit!

I've always been a little overweight, and I've always been plain. I've never gotten compliments about being pretty or anything. Never. Weirdly, it didn't really start bothering me until college or so, and I realized: I'd always been a smart kid who got good grades, so people had that to compliment me on. I did a lot

Over here we're hoping Conan picks him up if Oprah doesn't.

Interestingly, I'm thinking back to Venus Williams wearing sexy stuff to play tennis in and afterward saying who cares, she had fun being sexy. Athlete being an athlete, and enjoying being ogled? Why not?

The one nice thing about having small boobs is that you can shop in the junior's department, which works great for the "cute straps" when you need 'em. Don't be scared of checking around there—they're usually cheaper, and band-to-cup ratios tend to be a bit different (i.e., it's easier to find smaller cups with bigger

@femme-bot: Cool, I need a bra with just a right cup.

I switched the GPS to a snooty British guy named "Daniel", and now we just refer to it as "Daniel". The best moments are angering him as he yells "Recalculating..." disapprovingly.

@Niamh Healy: Yeah, you'll have a few sneaky-goof 9 and 10 year olds, who will then sit and go through sex counseling and come away educated and not so goofy feeling. That's the worst that can happen.

@kentuckienne: I do own one AA shirt (bought elsewhere with someone else's design on it, so I was unaware at the time) and it's soft and cuddly and I love it. I haven't bought any others because gross, but if they're on a bankruptcy clearance, I'll be stocking up.
