with the weird gendered constraints on [mostly-genetic] traits in Hollywood, you'd think they were breeding thumb-sized women and thyroid-freak giant men in vats
But they don't want big men. They keep casting for mini men too.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy Birthday Lori!
Happy Anniversary, Plei and Paul!
Knightley is quoted as saying: "Weight is a big issue in Hollywood because I'm twice the size - height and everything else - of most of the girls who are going in to see the director for a part.
Are Dakota Fanning and Abigail Breslin auditioning for every role in Hollywood these days?

I think that is a conspiracy of elevator-shoe companies.

Small with big heads! I think that's the ideal for either gender. Hollywood-wise.
Happy birthday, lori!!! And happy anniversary Plei & Paul!!!

I have not yet sneezed today. It's possible I may indeed make it through a Buffista dinner tonight without a horrible sneeztacular incident.

Trust my rage
I wasn't going to post this (trying not to be too 12), but there's a dude in my office right now who's name is Cocklong Fong. The best part, and this is what made me convinced I had to share, is that he works at Fong's Cream.
I know, it's so stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Part of why Tim Gunn does well on TV.

That's not stupid, it's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
