I don't really expect Fran Drescher to have better taste than to wear that sheer leotard. The real question, as far as I'm concerned, is what is going on with Lynn Collins' shoes? Are they sandals? Boots? Leggings? I need answers!

I'm confused. Was this a dressy occasion or not? Because the mix of Abbie's beautiful gown and the.....things that #10 and #11 are wearing do not go together. At all.

Rest assured, I saw Bright Star the other night, and in this Jezzie's opinion, it was 100% awesome.
It blew me away.

I dig both looks in #6. But, maybe not to a movie premier? I don't know. I am sick and feel like my head is stuck in a yogurt cup. Blerg.

@lilbobbytables is a la-di-da feminist: I....I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but your description...well. It hits home, I suppose. I once rescued a panicked squirrel who had a yogurt cup stuck on his head. And had I asked him how he felt at the time, I imagine he'd have said, Blerg. So. Just thought I'd share. Hope you feel better soon:)

I was once shunned from the lunch table in middle school for wearing the same outfit Sofia is wearing. I'm not sure what to do with that.

Fran, the bodysuit is not Frantastic.

@Chamalla, now gainfully employed: That's what always bugs me about hipster-ish clothes. They're only "cool" if the person themselves is supposedly cool. Otherwise, they are viewed as ugly.

Well played Victoria Beckham, taking your kids to Medival Times. My grandma took my sister and I there once when we were kids, and it pretty much made my year. That place is awesome when you're young.

God I love David Cross. If anyone likes him and hasn't heard "Shut Up You Fucking Baby", go download that NOW. It may be the funniest thing you've ever heard.

Also, he's one of the few comedians, IMO, who was able to make jokes about 9/11 that were hilarious without being crass. But then again, I have a twisted sense of humor.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Seriously, cook normal foods and don't act like it's a big deal and children will eat them. They won't realize that vegetables are *supposed* to be icky if you don't feed them only chicken nuggets and easy mac. Grumblegrumble.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I should maybe clarify. I think it promotes unhealthy eating habits. It is not introducing kids to a variety of foods, it re-enforces the idea that there is "kid food," and if you are feeding them typically unhealthy foods with veggies thrown in (many times without their knowledge), you are creating a habit of eating unhealthy foods. I know kids are picky. I was an extremely picky eater, but my parents kept introducing me to a variety of foods and eventually I became less and less picky. I don't think I would be as adventurous with my food choices if my parents cooked like Jessica Seinfeld.

This blogger says it better than I can:

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Exactly. And really, if you blend up vegetables and sneak them into desserts, how much dessert are you going to end up eating to get one serving of vegetables?

Also, children can acquire tastes for anything if you just keep presenting it any stop making it a big deal. My mother used to work with preschoolers, and apparently their parents would come to her all the time and say, "my child will only eat waffles! what do I do?" and she would stare blankly at them and say, "stop. buying them. waffles." I mean, they don't do their own grocery shopping. They'll get over it.

Sorry, off topic, but this whole cookbook feud really frustrates me.

@ytuhermanotambien: My parents never fed me different foods than they ate for dinner. I had to try the food to say whether I liked it or not. If I tried it and didn't like it, I didn't have to eat it. I think my parents treating food as normal and including veggies and lots of different flavors made me not a picky eater.

@Red-headed bookworm: Yes, me too! I was forced to eat a single bite, but if I didn't like it, I didn't have to eat it and then they'd try again later, in the hopes that I'd eventually acquire a taste for it.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Have you read the book? I've never used it, but I have flipped through it a few times it and it very specifically states that parents should continue to have actual, visible vegetables on the plate and encourage their kids to try them. The point of the cookbook isn't to "hide" all vegetables, it's to make sure that kids are getting the vitamins and nutrients from vegetables even though they refuse to eat them.

It's a fact of life that kids get into picky phases. Mine has stages where she'll eat anything and everything, and then times where she won't even eat pizza b/c it has too much tomato sauce. And when they don't want to eat what you're serving, they will very happily not eat for days at a time. It's very frustrating, and if making cauliflower look like a chicken nugget get a parent through the picky times, I don't think that's too terrible.

@fulanita: exactly! i don't think any previous posters have had to deal with a picky 2 year old, lol. we always offer vegetables, but my daughter will not eat anything brown or green. we keep offering, she keeps not eating them. so what am i supposed to do in the mean time while i wait for her picky phase to be over with?

i have tried some sneaky chef recipes. putting spinach in eggs, carrots in macaroni and cheese, sweet potato puree and wheat germ into cookies. we still offer her a variety of foods and encourage her to try different things. but kids will be picky or try to exert control by way of meal time.

and as a parent, you just do what you have to. (:

@fulanita: I'm guessing most of these people have not read it, nor are they parents. The book does not reinforce a dislike of vegetables. Anyway, it's something parents have been doing forever on their own. I find it ridiculous that Lapine would think she invented it.
