I just can't let it go. Read more

It doesn't count as washing, but I like to think it counts as "keeping them clean." In which case, I use quite a bit of Febreeze to keep my bras "clean" (and actually wash them...not enough). Read more

Aw, shucks. Thanks! Read more

Interesting theory; I completely agree that campus safety etc are particularly tough on the Greek system, though I'm not sure I buy them actually bullying a bunch of kids in an emergency room to say "butt chugging." That's a pretty specific, weird-ass (no pun intended) activity for authorities to randomly accuse… Read more

I think "recovered" is a tricky word when we talk about ED. Is a person recovered if she's stopped throwing up? Or is she only recovered if she's stopped purging and no longer thinks about it or wants to? Because if it's the latter — recovery defined as the end of disordered behavior and thinking — then I wonder how… Read more

HA. When I was watching her ask that, I couldn't help but note that every person on that stage was a solid one-percenter. Read more

I really like your point about gray areas — one woman's eating disorder is made of a (sometimes dizzying) array of emotions and behaviors, and I think that's what we're seeing with Gaga. Like Katie said, the whole mess is playing out for us. And I don't think she has any responsibility to explain the complex emotions… Read more

I wonder if Mariska is even remotely aware of how much her performance means to us. Read more

This is fantastic. Read more

I'm 100% with you — Taboo is good when it just does the overviews, but it's great when it gets into the psychological analysis etc. Read more

If anyone can illustrate or map out how 500 piercings on the ladybits might work or look, by all means — I'm genuinely curious. Can't even imagine. Read more

Everything that happens in this race that has remotely pertained to what we, as a women's website, care about, we have covered. Mitt Romney's offshore accounts? What does that have to do with the stuff we obsess about on Jezebel? We're not the Times, we simply cannot cover every single thing that happens in the… Read more

Fair point but, as someone in this thread pointed out, much of the scheduling of posts on this blog is a matter of what gets finished when — particularly in the morning. We're pumping out content from the second we're awake. As you can imagine, some stuff takes a little longer than others and, because the second… Read more

Ha. Read more

I hope you noted that a more substantial piece about Michelle — and not about nails — went up just a few moments after this one. It's splashed across the homepage. Check it out. Read more

I do too! In fact, I actually pulled it out of my stash on Monday night to use later this week. FLOTUS MIND MELD. Read more

My money's on Essie Chinchilly. Read more

How can one forget? Read more

That's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, actually — the survivors. Not just how individuals feel about a video like this, but wondering what it's like to be surrounded — inundated — with the rape politics/discussions happening right now. What does that feel like? Like shit, I suspect, but the specifics… Read more

S'ok, apology accepted. :) Read more
