I regret it.

Whoo, I don't blame you. I was almost too old for Sassy, but I loved it. Their DIY fashion articles were always great.

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

OH GOD. I THOUGHT THEY WENT TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD LOVE THEM.

I have no idea what happened to my copies of Sassy. I am so impressed with Rookie, though.

Because books.

Sue, Sue, Sue. ::shakes head sadly::

I'm sure I threw mine out in a fit of compulsive cleaning. Because I suck.

Rookie does look great, though.

Allyson, I live with the belief that she picked them up and they are safe and happy with her.

I had to put on jeans and a fleece to walk to the pool. And even that was chilly. Going from a high in the high to mid 80s to 65 in 24 hours is a bit much.

I was cold all day and everything hurt. Bleah.

$700 to fix my car. FML.

I had him inspect it all, too, to make sure everything was cool. He says it is. I'm waiting for the steering wheel to turn to dust in my hands.

I've still got several issues of Sassy and the even more rare Dirt.

Tavi Gevinson's Rookie went live today. Jane Pratt is official godmother.

Plus, our very own Rio

Oh, Allyson, that sucks!

My friend M, who is 37, has thinning hair, especially along her part. She has always hd very thing hair, and her mother and grandmother have/had less and less hair as they aged. She has been tested by her doctor for vitamin deficiencies, thyroid, etc. She is considering Rogaine "for women". Does anyone know anyone with experience with this product?

Allyson, that sucks.

Sophia, my hair has thinned a bit, and my mom's side had some female baldness, so I kind of freaked out when it started happening. I talked to my hairdresser about it and she said that rogaine (though she was talking about the non-brand name stuff) works to prevent further hair loss, but does nothing to bring back the hair that's fallen out. I haven't tried it myself...it hasn't gotten so bad that my vanity has trumped by laziness.
