About ten years ago, I was in biology class, super excited about the upcoming awards, and sketching the little statue in the margins of my notebook. When the bio sub, an elderly woman, walked by, she looked shocked and admonished me: "There will be NO drawing of naked men in biology class!!!"
@JennaW: dangnabit! you beat me to it - though I was going to go with nominate a woman director, but once the jokes out there the rest are just copies. #gayleetcheverry
Are clefts more prevalent in India than other countries? I seem to remember other organizations, such as Operation Smile, working a lot in India as well. Or is it more of a stigmatizing social issue in India than it is in other countries? Whatever the case, I admire the volunteers of these organizations so much for providing a new chance at life for these children.
@marshmallory wants to gobble and prance.: It is slightly more prevalent in South Asian countries (some studies say about 1% more than rates in North America). And while advances in prenatal nutrition have lowered numbers in other countries, the prevalence is remaining steady in developing countries.
You know what would make that girl even happier? A sugar-free red bull, bleached hair and extentions, a vintage Juicy swimsuit and a shit ton of eyeliner.
Knowing that there are places in the world that you have to walk three hours to get to a hospital makes me re-think all the bitching I have been doing about not having medical insurance.
@IBleedGlitter: The High Priestess of Tinsel: this is not a bad point, but you shouldn't feel bad about being upset about not having coverage. That is a totally legit thing to bitch about in my book, esp if you live in a developed nation.
@SmallbutMighty: @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: True, it's definitely something worth bitching about, but it's slightly jarring when you think about how many people are in way worse situations. It makes me want to shut up a bit haha. It also make me appreciate people like those in the article who do so much good for those who need it. I sometimes forget that not all people are giant douchenozzles.
@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): Me too, at my desk at work. The 'real-world fairy tale' part was amazing. I will try to watch this. Are we allowed to post the Smile Train site here if people want to donate?
one more thing....why is SJP not on this list? the dress itself was pretty, but was laughably overwhelming on her teeny tiny frame (i've seen her in person and she is an eensy weensy pocket person). not everyone can pull off every design, no matter how skinny. also, she had an unflattering accessory -- her sulking husband.
it's not really fair to judge robin swicord's fashion choices. she doesn't have the $$$, access to the stylists, and she is larger (not a sample size 2) anyway, so she had to fly blind. also, she may not give a rat's ass about fashion, and i kind of admire that in a hollywood professional, a world where a fashion stylist -- the zoe -- has her own reality show.
