Besides I think JLH looks like a gerbil. But I don't suppose that's the suffering you meant...but she's just another one of those actresses that makes me think "Who decided she was pretty? Nobody asked me."

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.
Though I pity the woman that has to portray one of the most beautiful women of the decade.
Actually, Karen Gillan can probably pull it off:
(ETA: she's already been cast).
Actually, Karen Gillan can probably pull it off:
She's pretty, no doubt, but she's not Jean Shrimpton pretty.
"The Shrimp" is a legend even today amongst high fashion and model mavens for the perfection of her features. Photographers talk about her the same way cinematographers talked about Garbo - no bad angles.
An interview with Dan Savage: [link]
I liked this bit:
Q: You and I had a fun radio debate a year ago about sex addiction. We disagreed on whether sex addiction is real (I think it is, you don’t), but we both agreed that we as a culture have way too much shame around sex. In one sentence, why are we so fucked up about sex?
A: Because Australia got the convicts, Canada got the French, and we got the Puritans.

Go The F**k to Sleep, A Children’s Bedtime Story
Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach, with illustrations by Ricardo Cortés. is a children’s book with a simple, enduring message: sometimes Mommy and Daddy want their little buckets of joy to just go the f**k to sleep already. Despite not being available until June 14, the book is number two on the Amazon bestseller list thanks to buzz generated by the unauthorized circulation of a pre-release PDF copy.
Go the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach’s verses perfectly capture the familiar–and unspoken–tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity.
Wow, the woman who gave her 8 y.o. daughter botox injections to compete in kiddie beauty pageants lost custody of her daughter.
I don't think Sherilyn Fenn gave up that much ground in comparison to Elizabeth Taylor looks-wise. In acting talent, maybe, and choice of projects definitely.
I read about it someplace...Facebook? I liked the Savage interview too...I'm a big Savage fan. I gave him a shoutout this morning in something I wrote actually. I wrote him a letter once, but decided not to send it due to the eleven million Buffistas who'd send me the link to myself all "You and this chick should totally go bowling," But sometimes I think he'd be a good friend to have, because you could tell him anything, right?
Sherilyn's gorgeous but nobody ever said she was the most beautiful woman in the world for ten years running.
I didn't realize how freakishly beautiful Karen Gillan is until I saw a picture of her with a friend of mine I consider very attractive -- and the friend, who is all of 19, receded into the background like wallpaper next her luminosity.
