Last year I did a Rosie the Riveter with a mechanics jumpsuit and a bandana from Rosie's Legacy or something. I made a backdrop "We can do it!" sign. Best Halloween costume I've ever done. It was also hella comfortable. and might I add, unintentionally sexy. It's my go-to backup costume now.
They used to be great. Now it's hit or miss. Once Gap took over the quality got a bit sketchy. They were expensive but reasonably worth it, now it's a crapshoot. But props for using people with real actual muscles and definition as models.
Calvin Klein bras are about all I'll buy these days. That last forever and you can choose the amount of padding you want or need. I have some with no padding/lining, some with a bit, and some of the plunging push-up kind. I won't buy any other bras. Usually Marshall's/Loehmann's/Ross has them cheaper than dept. stores.
aaaaaand this is why I can never date that guy. I can sniff them out a mile away and know that never the two shall meet. I stick with boys that have sisters or strong relationships with their mothers and can appreciate a strong confident woman. Dudes like this guy irritate the piss outta me. Suffice it to say, I'm probably not a "good" girl anyway.
Travel solo but always be aware of your surroundings, know your route environment, and know (to the best of your ability) what you're getting into. I've traveled solo frequently, have had similar stories to many of the other commenters, but there's no way in hell, I'm not traveling because of some jackasses.
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I concur! In fact, I've had that same discussion with several of my IRL jezzies. This site has absolutely changed my life and how I look at things. The fact that intelligent discourse happens while people are disagreeing and no one except #scottbaioruinseverything resorts to yelling or name calling is unique on the Interwebs.
I proudly call myself a Jezzie. I don't usually like labels.
I love the last one because it was their WEDDING people. Not the reception. Yes, by definition it's self-involved. And for the most part everyone looked like they had fun. They were celebrating - which, correct me if I'm wrong, they're supposed to be doing.
And on top of that, I positively love the simplicity of their wedding. Instead of spending $X on elaborate outfits and flowers and the like, they had a really great time with people they loved. The ladies could move in their dresses (ha! pun intended) and will most likely wear them again.
I'm going to echo a few comments and say perhaps it wasn't the most responsible thing to say, but I think she's expressing legitimate concerns. And perhaps concerned that she wouldn't be in the form that makes me her happy. Not to mention some people don't get their bodies back. No amount of exercise will return breasts to their previous state if you're genetically predisposed for post pregnancy droop.
Yay for adoption (though I wouldn't call it rescuing as that draws images of saving a baby rabbit in the backyard).
Mostly I was happy for her to acknowledge that she dates men and women. Particularly in a magazine that pretends like there isn't a healthy lesbian/bisexual audience reading it.
@Sabriel: Me too! I'm not renewing my subscription because of the lame revamp. They've really gotten ridiculous. It used to be so good. Kinda like Athleta before the Gap bought them.
I've moved to multiple cities in various states in the past 10 years and it IS incredibly difficult to keep making new friends. I've generally had to pick a hobby or athletic team/sport and have found friends through that. Fortunately in lots of places adult sport leagues are offering dodgeball, kickball, etc. And derby has really picked up. For athletic type things, I guess the surge in stitch n bitch and Etsy type of things have helped too.
It's especially hard if you're the singleton or childless one and your existing friends start to get hitched and have babies. The insta-friend component gets diminished and you have to find some new peeps to hang out with.
It's tough getting old.
I loathe the "shrink it and pink it" phenomenon. I can also generally enjoy pink but I'll take orange over pink any day. And don't assume I don't do tech.
"She could do what she's supposed to – finish up her job, focus on state-level politics, and talk to the press about ethics problems. But that's not what she wants to do."
Ask any teenager, they'll totes agree! Everyone knows this is how you act as an adult with "actual responsibilities".
I'm going to have cookies for dinner for the next month! Because I feel like it and I want to.
What is this "Office Space"? I never like paying my bills either.
