    Shayne Lamas, dear - I used to teach an educational program for folks who had been arrested for DUI, and I often heard, "But I only had one drink."

    One five gallon pail sucked down with a straw does NOT meet the guidelines for a legal cocktail. #victoriabeckham

    I clicked the link to the VB article and was pleasantly surprised. Those photos with the kids with Beckham were really lovely. I want very much to be cynical and say that she was merely doing this for some good publicity, but I don't think that is the case. As far as photo ops and charity work go, there are far more glamourous causes these days (hence why every damn celebrity/socialite shills for Operation Smile), and more exotic places to go that Clay County, Kentucky. Her smile seemed really genuine, and even if she was playing it up for the cameras, I highly doubt that those kids were. #victoriabeckham

    @Tchotchke: I really liked the last one where you can barely see her. I think a lot of celebs would have insisted on sitting at the front of that big crowd of kids rather than being jammed way in at the back.

    But as I said in another thread I am an unabashed VB apologist! #victoriabeckham

    Is "I hate doing school scenes and office scenes" the hollywood equivalent of "I never want to have a desk job?" Are offices so terrible that even pretending to work in one is miserable? #victoriabeckham

    @NellMood: But how many films are set in offices? Lots! And how many films show life on a film set? Not many. Secretly, movie stars desperately want to be just like us, working in offices, complaining about air conditioning and eavesdropping on conversations in the next cubicle. #victoriabeckham

    @helladesigner: She has the same smile and upturned, scrunchy mouse nose as my little sister. They really do look similar So I can only be fond of VB as a result! Plus she always seems really funny and self-deprecating in interviews, she's very happy to take the piss out of herself, which I appreciate in a celebrity. #victoriabeckham

    @rah29: Aww, that's really cute! Your sister must be adorable. My younger sister resembles Little J on Gossip Girl, so I get what you're saying :)

    I just think it's so funny how VB's entire face changes when she smiles. It's quite lovely. I've watched a couple of her interviews, and I've found myself smiling when she smiles or laughs. (But I'm also one of those people who cries and laughs when someone else is crying or laughing, I can't help but be emotive.) #victoriabeckham

    Oprah claimed that citizens of Dubai get free water, electricity and health care without paying income tax. While it's true residents are not subject to income tax, there is no support for the other claims.

    Ugh. Besides being wrong, it also fails to account for the fact that the vast majority of the "poor" in the UAE are non-citizens workers who are subjected to some of the most insane, horrid worker conditions for the benefit of rich folks partying and kicking it it.

    UAE is the absolute worst, worst, worst place in terms of the treatment foreign workers and there is a well documented human trafficking and slavery trade. I cannot fucking stand that place and roll my eyes every time someone from NY claims that they love shopping or staying there. #victoriabeckham

    I for one cannot wait for InStyle's much anticipated Smell-O-Vision issue. Breathing in the odor of ostrich-skin satchels and designer fragrances made of genuine virgin tears really gives the realization that you're living in abject destitution that extra pop. #victoriabeckham

    I confess I actually broke down and bought this issue four days before my wedding. I had sworn up and down that I wouldn't buy a single stupid bridal magazine, and Christina Hendricks made me break that vow.

    Also, I was having an existential crisis about what to do with my hair.

    I've never understood why those strapless gowns are so popular, especially on larger busted women. You just spend the whole night yanking it up....

    @hamburgerhotdog: Well for wedding gowns at least, this may be the one time you're going to buy a strapless dress well made and well fitting enough that you don't have to do just that.

    @lurkerbynature: I don't know. Every time I go to a wedding and see a bride wearing one, come the reception she's yanking every few minutes and it's not a good look.

    @hamburgerhotdog: They're don't fit any better on smaller chests either. Whereas the well-endowed ladies spend time and tape on the top arch of the cup, smaller ladies spend time and tape below the cup.

    @hamburgerhotdog: Not only that, but I don't think strapless is especially flattering on 95% of the women out there. But then, my wedding gown had a halter style top. I'm biased.

    @hamburgerhotdog: I'm going by my own experience. The kind of work that goes into making a properly structured bodice that fits just right would just be too expensive for a general occasion. It needs to fit just right. I was shopping for a halter-neck, but ended up with a strapless dress. All day long, I never had to adjust it once. Also, I was maid of honor recently, and the bride never had to adjust her dress, while my bridesmaid's dress kept slipping down so that a quarter inch of my bra was visible on the right side.
