I want the Chased Through A Public Park By Three Angry Brazilians add-on service. Read more

I hear you. I lived for a while in Geneva, where the custom is also three kisses (even though in the surrounding part of France, it's two). It's a nice way to greet, though. Read more

I couldn't agree more. Read more

Long may the Kinder reign! Read more

Even leaving the porn aside, it seems like whipping out a cell phone — something you carry around all day, that touches surfaces and hands and all manner of things that are not so clean — would in itself be a huge risk in a room where an open heart surgery is being performed. What, so you scrub up to the elbows — and… Read more

And besides, the size range in which the goods are manufactured doesn't really have anything to do with the intellectual property question. Read more

I'm honored to have helped point you towards an interesting topic :) Read more

Actually, how many kisses you do depends on where you live. Even within France, the spiritual home of the bise, the "correct" number can range from one to five. (Five is admittedly a minority choice — those people must spend all day greeting one another. Just imagine!) I have no doubt the kissing norms are just as…

Wait — that is why you can't get Kinder Surprise eggs in the U.S.? That's fucking ridiculous. Read more

We can't assume that just because they had a different set of words and beliefs about homosexual behavior and identity that people didn't act along the same spectrum that we see now. AND we can't assume that being "straight" is the neutral (which the title of this post implies). Read more

Once you get rid of that clear line, all of a sudden things are going to become gendered - - - hugging and other types of physical affection? That's feminine. And it's not just men who exhibit those behaviors who are "punished" - women who don't exhibit those behaviors are punished in tandem. Read more

That's funny, because HGB always loudly and publicly identified as a feminist (even though some other second-wavers wanted to kick her out of the club). Read more

I read it as referring to Pratt? The "she" is a little vague, but in that paragraph it's Pratt who's speaking: Read more

We are. Studies have been done in which subjects were shown videos of male and female job applicants either accepting a job offer or initiating a salary negotiation. Even though the "applicants" were really actors who read the exact same lines regardless of their gender, evaluators penalized women for negotiating.… Read more

No joke, in my anecdotal experience, if an average, or not-particularly-bright guy says he reads, like 9 times out of 10 his favorite book is "The Road". Read more

I think that depends a lot on one's cultural and ethnic background. Read more

So there was a Belgium's Next Top Model, a Holland's Next Top Model, and a Benelux' Next Top Model (that happened to feature only Dutch and Dutch-speaking Belgian contestants)? All running concurrently? Jeez, Belgium and the Netherlands — leave some modeling reality shows for the rest of the world. Read more

Just playing devil's advocate: you think it's "expanding our cultural understanding of what can be considered beautiful" for a slender, conventionally attractive woman with big breasts and a great ass to be recognized as pretty? That seems like a brand of female beauty that has a longstanding, popular, and highly… Read more

I write about fashion! I stopped listening to music when Radiohead stopped making good albums (2003)! NPR plays on my headphones all day, every day! Where am I, it's cold here! Read more

From Wikipedia: "Benelux' Next Top Model is a Dutch reality television show aired in Flanders and the Netherlands...Despite the reference in the title to the Benelux, no Luxembourger or Walloon contestants are participating, nor is the program being broadcast in Luxembourg or Wallonia." I'm not sure if that counts.… Read more
