Okay, am I the only one who read that as "people who think I'm Aslan?"
I am now giggling madly, imagining a creature with the body of a lion and the head of ita. Or ita with a mane!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Since she was 40 and they'd been living together for many years, this was especially funny.
Does Italy not announce the ever-amusing state of "concubinage" like they do in France?

I'm looking at a Jamaican marriage certificate at work. Under "Condition" the groom is listed as divorced. The appellation for the bride? "Spinster."
My mom had that! Canada, 1967. She was 26.

I have never been to a French wedding. I see I have missed out.
In the same village, on years they had big field teams of many American college students, they used the primary school as a dorm. The women slept on the second floor, which was of course known as the piano nubile.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
There are rules about what makes a man a man too.
I'm just sad that these rules involve gigantic man-breasts.
Well, and also sad that a whole article about the trend never stops to say, "Oh, by the way, you people who aren't insanely obsessed with the inadequacy of their bodies? Feel free to skip this part."
I mean, even articles about changing one's fat body have the excuse of "obesity is a risk-factor for a zillion illnesses," but AFAIK being slim is a risk-factor only for being able to squeeze into small spaces.

Honey, you realize you were reading the Fashion and Style section of the New York Times?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
It's an epic struggle, but somebody's got to do it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
but AFAIK being slim is a risk-factor only for being able to squeeze into small spaces.
And for being taunted. And for, um, not being able to do the backfloat.

There's also the turning-sideways-and-becoming-invisible factor for extreme slimness.
