@athenaswisdom: Try handwashing in cold water with a very, very little bit of soap. Then rinse and hang to dry.
Failing that, hang them outside over night (if you can). Sometimes just airing them out makes a huge difference.

@LaMorenita: Agreed. I can do scarves in maybe two ways, and that's it. And, as we all know, men love scarves...
(Not that that's a reason to learn how to wear them.)

Cardigans. I buy so many of them because they're perfect for the office during the summer and then transition nicely to the cooler days of autumn. Doing double-duty also makes them easier to justify when I'm on a budget (which, let's be honest, is always).
I can almost get behind the dress, but Nanette Lepore shoes are just awful. With a dress with that much going on, a simple shoe would have sufficed.
@MollyGrue: Exactly. Give me regular indulgence over just one big one.
The World Cup is going to be awesome! Not only will I get to watch talented footballers from all over the world, but the delightful Mr. will be thrilled to pieces for a whole month. Great athletics plus good moods all around mean no vibrator necessary at my house.
I not so into reading the book, but this poster could get me to the theatre. I mean, Julia is lovely and, from what I understand, this is a story about a woman finding herself before man-hunting. Cinematically, I can get behind that message.
@paperispatient: In fairness real gelato (from Italy, I mean) is so rich and expensive little cups are usually enough. Besides, if it were any bigger, we'd be all 'as if she actually eats that much dessert,' etc.
Small-portion indulgence is sometimes enough for people.

I have to assume they were trying to do a semi-remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and just failed horribly. That film, despite being filled with a disturbing amount of spousal abuse from both sides, was awesome. It was so over-the-top and it was sexy and Mrs. Smith was kick-ass (no two-finger gun holding there).
The fact that this is what that movie (and other similar films) has degenerated into makes me very sad indeed.

@Amygdalala: It's right up there with "impact" as a verb. Seriously, Wired may have gotten in right in there "the Internet is messing with our brains" article this month.
@rixatrix: Agreed. I think of myself as pretty Internet savvy, but I have never once seen that used. I guess I only frequent polite sites. (Maybe?)
@Sabriel: @Hundred Dollar Baby: Clearly, it was a good month!
May 1986 was when I was born, so I am especially pleased to know that women were so positively represented then. Now, though? Not so much.
@bookling: I know! I had no idea. No idea at all and now I feel so betrayed. Oh man. What a let down.
Mel Gibson was a huge disappointment. There was a period in my life where Braveheart was my favourite movie and after the anti-semitism I haven't been able to watch it. I feel so betrayed, and a little sick. I am so not attracted to him any more. Ugh. Just ugh.
And this is why any conscientious test centre makes students remove all labels from their bottled drinks before entering the exam room.
@jewel64: Christianity and bracketed disclaimers.
@NefariousCAT: I really miss those days. And really, which the success of those movies (and later, Mean Girls) I'm surprised it's taken this long for a a worthy-looking successor to come along.
Suddenly something Twilight-related I don't don't hate.
Totes.
@AuntBeast: Oh yeah. It comes out to play any time there is junk food in the general vicinity. Junk food or sweatpants, or children.
