Well, they do look terrible together, but as individual pieces I think they are pretty! Read more
Hey, that's what I'd be doing. Read more
Yeah, I think they've debunked the pubic hair story. But it's just such a GREAT rumor. Read more
Oh my God, so THAT'S where I know him from! Read more
loooool whoops Read more
Uh oh be careful or you'll summon the Victorianists to come tell us all about Ruskin Read more
I would never, ever take my cat outside in New York City in anything other than a carrier. I am getting anxiety just looking at these pictures. Read more
Well, the point is that it's one of those bold failures. Read more
Well, for context, the term was really born in a very fat activist community that was all about destigmatizing the term, under the principle that it's just an adjective and shouldn't carry a value judgement. Read more
Modcloth, Nordstrom, Eloquii (I know a lot of people hate nu-Eloquii but their basic-ish stuff is good — got some great jeans and a midi skirt I really love), Old Navy for basics like t-shirts.

I think faithful vs. less faithful adaptation debates are fascinating because I love the books that I love, but sometimes I think if you love something you gotta let it free. For instance, unpopular opinion BUT I prefer the Kiera Knightley Pride and Prejudice. Read more
Tricky Dick, I had no idea you had such strong feelings about Olive Garden! Read more
