Bella's full name is Isabella. Isabella Maria Swan. Yes, I know that.
What she said! I'm a rape survivor as well. I'm wearing glasses, black tights, a vintage pleated skirt and a black sweater. You? Did I not get the sartorial memo?
Seriously, WTF Jez?

This is what annoyed me about the first Twilight book where Edward is all "OMG YOUR BLOOD DRIVES ME CRAZY" and I thought "He just needs to go down on her when she has her goddamn period PROBLEM SOLVED". But no one listens to me.
Hey how long do you have to stand on your head for? We are TTC, I'm 39. Thanks!
Well, as someone who didn't bother to insure their dog who at age 3 needed 9K of knee surgery (TTA) all of a sudden I really wish we had insured him. I think it depends on your income and financial situation. If they eat something that requires surgery, or tear a cruciate ligament, or god forbid get really hurt, a surgery can be 2K. If you can save up a lot that is great, but not everyone can or sometimes an accident/ procedure happens before you save up that amount.
What they should do is allow you to use your flex dollars at the vet!!!!

AHAHAH! Awesome! (I'm vegan, and I approve your comment!) <3
Also: This is a PUBLIC bus run by a contractor paid by city funds. There is no reason for women to sit at the back of the bus regardless of the religion of some of the people who also ride the bus. This is a no-brainer.
You'd be surprised if someone in her class bracket didn't accomplish that much at her age? My husband does SAT tutoring and college essay assistance for upper-middle class as well as flat out rich kids in NYC and Long Island. in the 5 years he's been doing this never has he had ANY students anywhere NEAR as gifted, interested or motivated as Tavi. He actually uses her and her blog as an example to try to encourage students to find things THEY are interested in and to just pursue and develop those interests as opposed to pursuing rote extracurriculars they could give a crap about to pad their resumes for college. Anyone who dismisses her accomplishments as "typical" is either oblivious to the world we live in or a closet hater. Tavi's extraordinary indeed. And her parents are not rich.
Try the municipal animal control in your area. I do rescue in NYC and it is easy to adopt a dog from Animal Care and Control, who kill amazing, "no concern" rated dogs every day. If that doesn't work, try Craigslist. Many people try to rehome their animals through there. But for the love of all that is holy, please do not buy a dog at a pet store. You'll be contributing to tremendous abuse and suffering and paying a ton of money for a dog who is likely to require expensive medical care down the road due to all the inbreeding. I've seen 2 year old Yorkies from mills who needed all their teeth extracted, etc. Where do you live?
@ZiggyStarPuff: I am so sorry! and poor Maple! Jesus, I am sorry. I send all my best wishes for a better 2011.
I prefer D'AULERIO to get those holiday weekend pageviews, KTHXBAI!!
@Jamie Heck: Double thank you! I'm vegan too and I loathe this book for the same reason. (plus the "zomg stop putting poison in your body/ here's a buncha vegan junk food" dissonance. I mean, I love me some vegan junk food, but come on.) I am so grateful to have a fellow vegan write this piece, as opposed to someone who eats meat and wanted to bust out the VEGANISM IS LIKE, AN EATING DISORDER trope (seen on too many other blogs to cite.)
@ameliaheartsu: Thank you!!!!!!
GODDAMMIT! I feel your pain, Dodai! On days 1-2 I can go through one OB Ultra in 45 minutes. 45 MINUTES! For the fuck of shit!!!!
@LarryDavidsalterego: i have had good tailoring done at Gotti Cleaners on Metropolitan Avenue just south of Graham in Williamsburg (right off Graham Ave L.) She's altered a lot of vintage for me. No complaints!
A stylist friend of mine who would get even her T-SHIRTS tailored used to do everything at that tailor on Stanton Street, I think btw Ludlow and Orchard? I don't know if they are there anymore, but it's on the north side of the street and had a big "TAILOR" sign in kind of 70's iron-on font.

@Fry_Bread_Power: EXACTLY. When I worked in staffing, it was for a small agency. I was an account executive and would do many of the initial interviews before the head recruiter would see a candidate. My co-worker and I would also take turns covering for the receptionist on her lunch hour. The receptionist would greet people and give them their paperwork to fill out.
So this recent college grad comes in to interview for a marketing assistant position with one of our clients, and I happen to be sitting at the front desk. She gives me a SHITTON of attitude, is contemptuous and rude, rolls her eyes at being told to fill out forms, keeps saying "I am here to see [Head Recruiter], why do I have to fill out this stuff etc etc. I finally get her to fill her forms out and the receptionist returns from lunch and I return to my office.
the receptionist gave her paperwork to the head recruiter, who said "I'm in the middle of something, have AvantGardenia interview her" and then brought the young woman back to me in my office. And it was no small satisfaction that her face fell like a ton of bricks, and that is when I let her know in no uncertain terms that yes, your interview begins the SECOND you walk through that door.

3) She looks like Gia Carangi in these.

@BiggieShorty: OH MY GOD! With no pain relief? what the hell! I am so so so sorry someone did that to you. What is wrong with people?
