I look more rad than Lutheranism

I found this which seems to be the end-all of the Curtis topless kerfuffle, and really? People cared? Don't get me wrong--I think she looks majorly hot, but why is that a big deal? There's no scandal there!

Seriously -- if you look that good at 50, show it off!

In other not-topless news: I am home sick with a cold. I have a porcupine in my throat. I feel like my head is stuffed with dirty socks. And I am not topless.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm not topless either! But I do have approximately the same amount of gray in my hair as Jamie Lee Curtis.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am not topless! I am wearing 2 shirts! and a scarf! And since I am at work, this is as it should be.

I have no grey hair.

I do feel hungover, even though I had nothing to drink last night. Interestingly enough, the other day I drank an entire bottle of wine, and felt fine the next day.

Since my hair stayed blonde, I won't know how much gray hair I have until it outnumbers the blonde. Plus it'll probably go white, which would be cool. Or silver, even, which is what my dad's hair did.

My stylist says that I don't have any gray/white/silver yet, and I'm choosing to believe her. God knows I can't see any when I look in the mirror. It'll probably all turn all at once, like overnight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's a video, which I haven't watched.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The idea of Miley having sex bothers me much less than the idea of people making money off her sexual image.

Yes. This. Sexuality is enough to try to figure out as a teenager, without having adults commodifying it.

I've been getting more grey hair lately, which shows up really obviously against my dark brown. Really hate it. Thinking about henna.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fred's drivel on the whole thing --

I haven't seen the Miley Cyrus photos and don't want to. Our niece is a big Hannah Montana fan. I've heard multiple descriptions of the photos. And the controversy feels manufactured by the folks that make their living out of saying that the country is going to the dogs.

If you're 15, you're thinking about sex. And wanting to explore the possibilities. A posed photo shoot for a national magazine raises issues to me that more candid snaps from paparazzi wouldn't -- even if the photos show the same thing. I'm not sure why -- maybe because the posed shoot is intended for public consumption while the paparazzi photos aren't.

Britney Spears was selling sex pretty much from "Baby One More Time." She just did it with a teasing innocent that, for those of us not particularly vulnerable to her charms, came across as extremely calculated and cynical even by the standards of pop culture.

And I'm not the expert because I don't have a daughter, but I'd probably okay a 12-year-old wearing a little makeup for a truly special occasion. A 15-year-old, almost certainly -- again, for special occasions. (Example: If she's in a wedding party, she deserves to look like a young woman.)

Not that this seems to add up to a coherent opinion,.

I didn't really start thinking about sex until I was 16.

Yeah, I think I hit puberty a bit later than most boys....

In other news of the weird: Farmers Wants a Wife? I guess it's only doable to do this as a reality show if the farmer resembles an abercrombie model.

Because books.

And I'm not the expert because I don't have a daughter, but I'd probably okay a 12-year-old wearing a little makeup for a truly special occasion.

Working at the mall, I see a lot of girls in the 12-15 range wearing makeup. Which is the thing with girls that age -- mom may not okay it, but if mom isn't with you, it's a whole different story.
