Unless they did a skin graft (which they try to avoid) they probably pulled up from his face that was pretty thin at the time (and didn't have a lot of skin to pull up) and started working from there. Poor bastid ended up with a medically-demanded bad face lift.

But his skin didn't start looking all weird until almost 10 years after the burns, did it? "Bad"-era MJ was obviously surgically enhanced, but he didn't get the freaky-deaky alien look until the '90's.

It's so damn tough to be a parent--you don't want to be limiting and paranoid, but at the same time you don't want to put your kid in harm's way.

This is true, but it's usually not that tough of a call. While there are a lot of people I trust Emmett with, they are all people who I know (and who he knows) well. If you have any doubt, you just say No. Also, there aren't a lot of opportunities for Emmett to be in an unsupervised situation. Actually...none.

I haven't had time to look at this, but here's a site dedicated to poking holes in the case against Michael: [link]

From what little I've looked at, it makes me suspicious of those accusing him (assuming the stuff at this site is true).

eta: Oh yeah, I should mention that this site is highly biased (which doesn't mean it's not true, but....)

I just found a soggy cheerio in my hair.

Ew.

I'm pretty sure he's been hit by exotortionists. I also wouldn't be surprised to know that MJ has a full-time publicist going around stoking suspicions about the motives of his accusers.

When did you last eat cheerios, sarameg?

Is this pre- or post- baby wrangling, sara? Just checking.

Now all the kids are gonna do it.

Post.

I forget how utterly slimey nasty cheerios get. And what a hit they are.

I totally missed that your baby visitage was mid-day. FUN!
