I don't know -- I'd almost like there to be a threshhold of sexual partners for those of us with more years and less experience? My aunt had cervical cancer, and is harping on every girl in the family to get this, but my doc won't dish it out because I'm 28. However, having gotten married at 20, my "number" is all of two, and I suspect that I've not been exposed to much.

But I get the skepticism on the FDA -- not so long ago, they decided not to approve OTC Plan B, even though I believe nearly their entire board voted to do so? Something about being GWB's bitches....

Must disagree with grinding and boner advice, tho. Whilst I'm plenty pro-boner in general, notsomuch while dancing in public.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Keira Wears The (Mom) Pants In The Family]]> @tokyomonamour: yes, but popularity does not = not-fug. See: leggings. They're unflattering, and I don't care who's selling em -- I ain't buying. They don't even flatter Keira, who is incredibly thin and gorgeous and with the bone structure and such.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Kim Kardashian Is <i>Keeping Up With</i> Her Cellulite]]> I see no cellulite. Unrelated: I would go temporarily gay for her. I know she's a celebutard and an airhead, but she's undeniably gorgeous.

Now, if the overall beauty aesthetic could move closer to this point, it'd be better for all of us.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Dove has finally issued a]]> @ArmCandy: Yes. Show Unilever what works by giving your money to a socially responsible company that doesn't advertise out of both sides of its mouth. If you want to make a difference, you don't buy from a bad company that does a rare good thing -- you buy from a good company.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on <i>Glamour's</i> '50 Most Glamorous' Does Not Include Cover Model Jessica Simpson]]> Late. Pfft. Get Sliquid Splash to wash your bits with. No nasty ingredients, no scent, and pH-balanced. Amazon has it, among other places. Made by some condom company or other, but it's good stuff. Just don't put soap down there.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Jennifer Hudson Checks Out At Check-In]]> I could not hate leggings more.

However, I love the fact that she has balls enough to wear them, so she is the one person over the age of four that I give a leggings-pass. She is adorable.

However, I am so over this flats craze. They're not cute, they're not attractive, and they tend to be totally lacking in arch support. And they're ugly. Please cease and desist, peeps. So many nice outfits ruined by ug shoes.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Dumb Way To Save The Environment, Part LXV]]> @clevernamehere: Um, they go higher than J. Don't ask me how I know, please.

My question is this: yes, for us gigantically-boobed ladies, bras are an absolute necessity. But how many women in less affluent countries have the luxury of being fat enough to need giant knocker-holder-uppers? I know I'm making a broad, sweeping generalization, but it hasn't been made yet!

I can't see who made the comment about not wanting to donate worn stuff, and I used to do the same thing, until one of the nice ladies told me that they take anything that's just too far gone and sell it to textile-recycling peeps, to shred and use for filling and scrap and whatever.

Also, there's nothing on a bra or in undies that proper laundering won't kill. Germaphobes must chill!

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Chelsea Clinton, And Lessons In Media (Mis) Management]]> Asking her about Monica is incredibly unclassy. Who among us would want to talk about Dad's philandering while we're trying to do a good thing for Mom? You can argue that it's a fair question, but it's also a pretty shitty one.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Reese Witherspoon Adopts A Wide Stance]]> She has thighs. Somewhat normal thighs.

I cannot help but love her for that. Um, go Reese.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Angela Chase: "When You Call Someone's Name, Like, Kind Of Loud And They Don't Hear You, It Makes You Feel Really Lonely."]]> @chouflur: Yeah, that would make my entire life. I related so much more to Daria than to Angela.

Unfortunately, word is that MTV won't release Daria because it's crammed to the gills with copyrighted music, and it would be a bitch to get that sorted out, and they don't want to put the effort into replacing the existing music with cleared music. I offered them my firstborn, and they simply said it was "not feasible at this time."

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Loose Lips]]> @wednesdaywolf: Yeah, I think Kim could bitchslap Paris into Thursday, at least. Sad, fighting amongst equally vapid, equally irrelevant do-nothing wastes of space.

However, it was oddly clever, for Paris. Still, I hate that bitches can't just freaking stick together.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on During That Time Of The Month, Do You Pretend It's <i>Not</i>?]]> @Malou-La-Croix: Yeah, but they're not reusable OR biodegradable. Mooncup FTW! None of this worrying about carrying stuff around, either -- at least not in a sleeve.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on You Wanna Be On Top]]> I have ceased to understand decency standards, or whatever the hell they're called now. "Deadliest Catch" was on Discovery Channel all weekend, and you can apparently say shit and hell and ass and damn, but if you say "Goddamn," you have to bleep out the "God" part. You also can't say "oh my God." WTF?

FWIW, I'm no prude, but that picture seems too racy for network, to me. Sideboob is really pushing it, as is barely-covered ass. If it's any indication of what the video was like, I don't have a huge problem with the weenies and their tizzy. (Though I think their concern is misguided. Peeps need to worry less about what's on the TV, less about abstinence-only, and actually parent their kids.)

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on The Dumbest, Most Pore-Cloggingly Ineffective Ways To Waste Your Money At Sephora]]> @The One: Yeah, but it's certainly why I'll buy something from Walgreens instead of Wal-Mart. Being able to return cosmetics is gold. Unless you haunt MakeupAlley, 90% of the stuff you buy will likely be crap or otherwise unsuitable.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Pam Anderson & Lauren Conrad, White House Correspondents]]> @solidbrassfasteners: Oh, I would KEEL OVER. Of course, I'd be surprised and nearly as disappointed if it were Ellen Page. I get a "hey man, whatever" vibe from her, not a "you all suck."

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Loose Lips]]> The article says she's FORTY-THREE. She is gorgeous, but now even more impressively so. Yikes. She doesn't look much different at all from the sex tape stills, and aren't they quite old?

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Russell Crowe & Wife Are God-Fearing Famous People]]> He looks creepy -- among other things, the long hair doesn't seem to suit him much.

Superficial: what is with every famous or semi-famous woman doing the Jessica-Simpson big-purse-in-crook-of-arm, with-or-without-something-in-that-hand-so-it-looks-slightly-less-silly thing? Embrace the shoulder strap, peeps.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Jessica Alba (Baby) Showers In Style]]> I scrolled quickly by, in Bloglines, because she annoys the snot out of me, and thought she was wearing a graduation gown. Anybody?

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on A woman in Greenville, S.C.]]> @esmecalvert: Yeah, they work, if you don't get a cheap, scratchy (snaggy) one. Finer mesh is better, because the hooks don't get caught in it, and the bags work best with non-superfoam cups that get squished out of shape. I generally put soft cup bras in a bag, in the washer, and handwash underwires.

Girlhood is annoying, at times. Do you see men handwashing shit? No.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Naomi & Liev: Hippie Hoodlums]]> @Rummy_McGin: Yes! Love a daddy who does that. Very Keri Russell, only better.

The nanny has my hair. (And my expression.) Ladies with hopelessly wayward hair, unite!

And that is just sad.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Did Heath Ledger Father A Love Child?]]> @Meg: it IS! And you know, I'm kicking myself for thinking this way, in 2008, but...a guy naming his kid after himself seems all normal and fine, and a chick doing it makes me think she's a wee bit narcissistic. Gah.

@Centaurea: my first thought exactly. I was waiting for the super-traditional, ultra-Italian name, and then we get this...L.A. blah.

When are Ashlee Simpson's fifteen minutes going to be up? What is her purpose, exactly? Can anyone explain this?

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Circuit City Designates Handicapped Parking Spots "Web Order Pickup" Zone]]> @KashmirKong: Yes, screw a law intended to protect the rights of the handicapped so you don't have to walk thirty feet to pick up your junk. Why don't you suck it up and be glad you can walk?

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Loose Lips]]> @DoNotStalk: Yes, giving the baby to Grandma to raise as well as she did Brit and Jamie-Lynn. That poor, poor baby. If I had any money, I'd totally pay J-L not to go through with it. I know it's happened, but I've yet to actually personally know of a sixteen-year-old's shotgun wedding that turned out anything resembling well.

That whole family makes mah head hurt, and I hate that we all know about this crap. Living in a fishbowl is not going to help that girl.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Fat Is a Feminist Issue]]> @Nelle_Yecats: so no "live and let live?" What of women who like pants and less female-gender-specific things? Are they wrong, somehow?

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Drew Barrymore Doesn't Take The Stairs On Way To Workout]]> My hatred of Uggs had faded to indifference until about a week ago. It got warmish here, and apparently there was a meeting of every coed in town, at which it was decided that it would be totally awesome to wear teeny-tiny buttcheek shorts AND UGGS. Together. At the same time. Like, Daisy Dukes and big sheepy boots and nothing in between.

Because if everyone does it, it's magically not stupid, I guess? I don't wanna get all crotchety-old-lady, but kids are morons, and if they wear stupid crap, they deserve to be shamed.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Tall Tales]]> I'm 5'5.75". I have two beefs with this:

1) I'm too short to reach the high shelves, and too tall for "average" pants, even though they supposedly fit 5'4" - 5'7". Why can't we have eleventy-million inseam lengths, like men? Fricking fashion patriarchy!

2) Girls under 5'3" somehow manage to ALWAYS end up with guys who are 6'1" and over. Seriously. Every super-short girl I've ever known has only dated really tall guys. Leave the tall men for the tall girls! Pick someone your own size! Let's all have a shot at wearing pretty shoes and having sex without props (if we want)! If we all stuck to guys 6-8 inches taller than we were, there would be many fewer women of perfectly reasonable height (me) stuck not being able to wear heels for fear of making some moron (my soon-to-be-ex-husband; two ex-boyfriends) insecure.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on <em>Stop-Loss</em> Style Stops Us In Our Tracks]]> Ryan is a douche, totally. But he's so, so pretty. Is it wrong to just look? Men ignore bitchiness and stupidity when it comes with T&A (Jessica Alba??) -- can't we do it every now and then?

Okay, fine. I'll continue the douche boycott. But I have reservations.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Gossip Girl Upstaged By Precious Pup]]> What is it with "starlets" and this played-out habit of acquiring the requisite tiny dog, then never, ever again being seen without it tucked under your arm? Good Lord. I know Hollywood types aren't overly concerned with originality, instead being more into whatever's "hot" at the moment, but...it's so weird. Give me a big, rowdy Lab-or-larger. A MAN dog. I sleep with my dogs, and am a klutz of the highest order, and, frankly, I don't want to have to worry about a misstep or inadvertent rollover killing my po' pup. These thing look so delicate!

Though I bet they have smaller poo. But still. Have never had the urge to costume my dog, which I guess is one of the big pluses of having one of these tiny things?

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Pop Quiz! Are You Smarter Than A Bush Administration Spokespretty?]]> I am inordinately in love with Jon Stewart, but I haaaaaate the way he softballed her. Ridiculous. Grow a pair and torch the wee pretty, like you manage to do with every other half-witted, fairly evil Repub who trucks through your studio. She's not the only pretty girl on the world, and you're married, so do your damned job.

Dana Perino can, to borrow a phrase from Cartman, suck my balls. It's this kind of insidious, girly bullshit that makes the subset of men-who-are-morons feel justified in thinking that anyone with boobs is a dolt.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on How Much Is a Marriage Worth?]]> @cde: Yeah, we agreed, and should have one of the least sucky divorces on record. You're right -- both parties definitely need to agree. Can you get a unilateral no-fault somewhere? In MO, you can't file no-fault until you've been separated for six months, which is helpful, I think, and, AFAIK, both parties must agree.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on How Much Is a Marriage Worth?]]> @desylicious: Yeah, but many divorces really ARE no-fault. Mine, for example. I got married young, to the wrong guy. We weren't well-suited, and grew apart. Nobody's fault.

Spitzer's a tool, though, fer sher.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on How Much Is a Marriage Worth?]]> Heather's damned lucky that she had his kid.

I utterly disagree with the idea of a prenup having anything to do with whether the marriage succeeds or fails. Ignoring a risk or probability doesn't erase it. Over 50% of marriages end in divorce, and to insist that you'll be one of the <50% that succeed, and to refuse to take any precautions is incredibly shortsighted, IMO. Part of feminism, I'd argue, is being responsible for yourself, and I think a prenup falls in pretty well with that.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on Prince William Gives Kate Pole Position]]> @TakeBackWhatYouSaidAboutThor: paparazzi stalking them from arrival to departure, including when they ain't got goggles on. Those peeps, though fortunate financially, are tracked like dogs.

<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on <i>The Return of Jezebel James</i>: Light On the Comedy, Heavy On the Barren Career-Woman]]> @kshenkshen: DO IT. I just did. Maybe for the third or fourth time. But only through season 3, because it went to shit (relatively speaking) after that.

]]>
<![CDATA[shanaynay commented on When Did Baby Weight Become Just Plain Fat?]]> Is it shallow that I have no idea what the story's about, having gone straight from Jillian to John Zimmerman and gotten lost (and pervy) there?

Well, if that's wrong, I don't wanna be right. To borrow a phrase, nom nom nom.
