ION, my boss is amazed that 'squeegee' has four Es.
I'm not sure if he's had his coffee yet....
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

she just doesn't look all Hollywood-ified and polished
I haven't seen the pictures you're talking about, so I may be totally off base here, but to my eyes, sometimes looking all Hollywood-ified - as you so nicely called it - doesn't mean looking better.

I always have to count all the doubling of the letters in "committee".

widow's peak and heart-shapedness of Marilyn's face is always so startling
If I remember correctly, MM shaved/plucked her hairline to achieve that widow's peak. Look at some of the cheesecake shots of her when she was still going by Norma Jean, you can see the difference. I know Susan Hayward did the same thing and there are probably others, but those two I know for sure. One of the less obnoxious things a person can do to "beautify" themselves. My daughter does it occasionally, too and even convinced me to do it once. No widow's peak, but to raise the hairline a little and make the forehead look taller (which for someone like me with a short, squat forehead it can open my face up considerably.)

“Not dead yet!”
If I remember correctly, MM shaved/plucked her hairline to achieve that widow's peak.
I think it was Rita Hayworth who had an early version of electrolysis in order to eliminate her widow's peak and give her a higher forehead.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
If I remember correctly, MM shaved/plucked her hairline to achieve that widow's peak.
This threw me for a second. I was all "No, it just recedes by itself, why would I want to help it?"

Definitely. I thought Sarah Chalke looked much nicer about 5 years ago before her Scrubs character was glamourized and she started wearing heavy eyeshadow and frosting her hair. The natural look (even if achieved with a fair amount of makeup) suited her a lot better.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I just pray the fashion for women to shave the first inch of their hairlines off doesn't come back, EVER.

That's who I was thinking of! Thanks, Barb.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ick. I was up too late writing and am now racing around my apartment like a madwoman trying to get my shit together to get to work.
I feel so much better today. Six more weeks of writing, and then Sam gets sent to my agent. Six weeks. then new book in hands! Well. New manuscript. I keep hoping and hoping. And hoping.
Hope with me!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Crazy Polish Roommate and her Mother frequently complimented me on my large forehead. And in Peru people stopped me in the street to compliment me on my nose (one even needed to find a translator).
Pretty is weird.
