This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How else are people going to express their disgust at the fat people who just can't control their eating and aren't healthy and a drain on society and worse than lepers? Stop persecuting people, Dana. Sheesh.

Which, of course, is to say -- you know better, sillyhead!

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

Clothes women like that men hate.

I dislike most of these clothes myself (no opinions on headbands--the male reasons given for hating them drive me up the wall, and I don't care one way or another about gladiator sandals, and I like tuxes).

At least the article leads with the presumption that it's advice for women trying to impress men with their clothes, not all women.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh! I bet I know what story that is. The cake company?

Cupcake, yeah.

So I was reading a post on Jezebel reminiscing about Reality Bites... and I was trying to remember what early 90s movie resonated with me on a romantic and/or zeitgeist level... and I couldn't think of one. Commenters also brought up Before Sunrise and Singles. Thoughts, suggestions?

Well I hate most of them too. I certainly can't wait for those bug-eye glasses to go away.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Fashion is NOT for most straight guys. I think most straight guys would like to see all women wearing long shiny hair in a pretty sundress or plain jeans and a tank top. Which would make me mad, except most straight women I know like to see all men in a fitted tuxedo or or plain jeans and a tank top.

Love the framing on the article. Clothes women think are fashionable, bless their pretty little hearts. Feh.

Punishingly Intricate

oh. I do not think men belong in tank tops, mostly.

I don't have a problem with the big sunglasses but agree that most of those fashion trends are hideous.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Plain jeans, white tank top, or white t-shirt, or white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up and buttons left open at the neck.

Male or female. What?

ETA relevant prepositions, because it's a choice thing, not a layering thing.
