Well, I only say that because I had a nightmare last night where you got big. It was awful. Oh, honey, come on I love you, stop.
I'm just saying, if you had a dream that a building was collapsing and a guy was about to walk into it, wouldn't you say "stop"? Well, then we agree.

Woman: Oh, I say 10. What do you think, mom?
Older woman: Er, 11.
Man: How about you, Fred*?
Older man, not very interested: 5, I guess.
Man: 9 comes up a lot. I take this train all the time and it's almost always 9. I'll give you 2 to 1 odds on 5, though. 2 to 1, Fred*.
(older man ignores him)
Man: Come on 9! Damn it, now that guy's standing right in front of it. Do you believe that? Down in front! Go 9!

Redhead: He's only, like, three years older than her.
Blonde: Oh, that uncle? That's not so bad then. I'd fuck him if he was my uncle.

[Photo: WENN]I mean, it's not an outfit that revolutionizes my approach to life, or anything, but she looks good -- or at least, not stupid, like when she wears t-shirts with her face or her name on them. Sigh. It doesn't seem fair, does it? She's pretty much the Prom Queen of gross and tacky
famewhores, so by all rights she should be guzzling too much spiked punch and then puking all over her dress and down Kim Kardashian's cleavage right in front of the principal, while Brody Jenner and his bros point and laugh and dump another mickey of rum into a bowl of Hi-C orange. Double sigh. Credit where credit is due, I guess. Does this mean I'm growing up? I hope not. | |

[Photo: WENN]
If you, like Shamika Cotton here, are not ACTUALLY an American Teen, leave the tie-dyed t-shirt dresses at Gap Kids where they belong. She is seriously about ten seconds away from being asked to slow-dance to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by a 13-year old kid who bet his friends $5 that he'd "accidentally" graze her ass with his hand.

| http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/go_fug_yourself/2008/07/fug_beach.html I know that tee shirt dresses are very on trend for the summer -- I read it in Who What Wear just recently -- but I think Kristin "Remember, I was the interesting one on Laguna Beach?" Cavallari is very kindly demonstrating the issues that can come along with them:   [Photo: Splash News]
Namely, that if they're too short, you're going to be spending the whole evening wondering if people can see your butt, and that -- when half-heartedly belted -- you just kind of look like you half-heartedly belted a tee shirt and called it a day.

| http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/go_fug_yourself/2008/07/fugman_the_dark_fug.html I know Batman is a caped crusader with a secret identity, and that the
film probes the concept of dual natures pretty overtly, but I don't
think Maggie Gyllenhaal needed to underscore that by attending the Barcelona premiere in costume as a split personality.  This is what happens when a dressmaker can't make up his or her mind about what to do, flips a coin, and then loses it in the couch cushions: You get one gown with what might be a very lovely fabric, and a bizarre overlay whose own busy pattern fights the original design. It looks like her dress is wearing a coat. This is either a madcap stroke of financial genius, sure to make us all go broke when we realize we can't possibly leave the house in polite society until our shirt is wearing its own shrug, or completely freaking insane. I really wanted to like this, too, after The Great Baggy Jumpsuit Catastrophe of 2008. But it also further demonstrates Maggie's brazen, ruthless disinterest in the dangers of gravity. Behold it from a different angle:
 [Photo: WENN]
Between this and the thing she wore on The Daily Show the other night, I am more confident than ever in our decision to nominate Maggie for The Sag Award in our book. And listen, let me be clear, I am not judging what boobs do of their own God-given volition. We've all been there. What I can't figure out is why she wouldn't give her goods a boost. Every girl in the world mocks the pencil test until the day she fails it, prompting her to binge on Doritos and investigate whether a boob lift is prohibitively expensive. But you know what helps? UNDERWIRE. It makes cleavage smile. So why let nature take its course without even TRYING one of the many helpful detours? Hell, I'm about two seconds away from putting on a second bra just to balance out the universe a bit. For God's sake, FEAR GRAVITY, girl, because it does not fear you. Aw, see, now she's gone and worked me up into an all-caps frenzy on an otherwise fine Friday morning. I should be sneaking schnapps into my morning cocoa while Intern George watches The View, not working a callous onto my pinky finger from pounding my Shift key. Sigh. Clearly I need to self-medicate with a screening of Ocean's Eleven. | |

Operator, with Irish brogue: What's up?
Thug: 11 C, man. (thug looks at the new guy)
Thug: You new man? Yo, I gotta ask you a question, do you drink beer?
New guy: Yup.
Thug: You drink Guinness?
New guy: Yeah, sometimes.
Thug: Alright, I gotta know, is the Guinness here different from the Guinness back home?
New guy: I am a Long Island Jew.
Thug: Shit, for real? I thought everybody who worked here was from Ireland.
(thug gets off the elevator to make delivery)
Operator: You should've asked him if it's different buying food in a supermarket instead of having to chase and kill it with a spear.

| Why is it that EVERYTIME I get a relaxer, regardless of if I do it at home or in a salon, within 3 weeks, my "kitchen"/ edges all around my head is already messed up and I look like I'm in desperate need of a touch up? And it's not because I'm washing it a lot/getting it wet either; I wash my hair once a week, and usually the first time I wash after a relaxer is 2 weeks. I relax at MOST every 6 weeks, (usually every 8-10) because I don't want to damage my hair more, but my "fading" relaxers is really making me want to switch to every 4 weeks or something.
& my natural hair is type 4C if that matters. if 4D exists, it's 4D lol
I have no pics right now, but trust me it's not a pretty sight | |
