I am at a loss how so many millions of people watch these shows.

It's crap. He's crap. They're crap.

Yikes.

The sisters are rather skinny. Natalie Maines had a baby recently (sometime last year), so I have a hard time believing that is her body. But, then she's been on tour for a while, so who knows?

Regardless, it's a great cover.

I wish someone could Winslet me down. All this eating healthy and working out stuff is beginning to get to me. Wendy's anyone?

You know those movies, like Trading Places and Pretty Woman, where the spunky and funny poor person is thrust into the world of the richies and it all works out in the end bc one of the richies has risen above the superficial thing called class? They call those Fish Out Of Water movies and they are all fairy tales.

Well, Pretty Woman was a fairytale, that's for sure. If you drive down Sunset Blvd., you might find prostitutes that look like they were in the cast of Pretty Woman. The problem is that the cast member is Jason Alexander.

On a serious level, while class matters in this country, gender also matters. At the turn of the century, upper class men kept their privileged status, while upper class women were dependent on catching another upper class man to maintain their status. The problem (for upper class girls) was that an upper class man could find a less demanding prole to marry, so there was a surplus of upper class women. Enter sororities at major universities. Now upper class women have a mechanism designed to pair them up with upper class men and middle class strivers.

The pattern still exists today. People are marrying later, so fraternities and sororities can focus on substance abuse, date rape, and bad reality TV. Meanwhile, after college, reality TV shows pick up the slack. It's not a coincidence that all of the men on the Bachelor look like they were fraternity social chair. It's Sociology 101.

The str8 fiancee knows that I follow a lawyer message board that focuses on fashion and reality TV. She knows because some bits here are so good that I can't help but share them with her. Similarly I steal many of her observations here and pass them off as my own. I think she'd like this board, but she's got a bit of a "too cool for school" feeling about internet groups (the only ones she reads are the wedding ones, in the name of "research"). I don't think she'd be comfortable with the degree to which I lust after c2ed, RT, and GWNC.

By the way, I'm about ready to cut bait and run on the house. Thanks all for your good advice. On the other hand, if they chop $200K off the price . . .

Eddie Murphy once joked about haunted house movies. He said that white folks stick around and try to solve the mystery. Black folks might like the neighborhood, but when they hear a voice saying “Get out” they say “Too bad we can’t stay.”

Dude, the walls are oozing blood and there’s a white light coming out of the hall closet. It’s time to Get Out.

It's reassuring to see that some people are working to uphold and preserve the good old traditional values. Those things that made our country great shouldn't just be cast off on a whim.

I don't know how this escaped comment on the Board this long, but...



She also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live with some sort of new wave hairdo.

Well, it appears she's finally made it out of her fetish film rut. Good on her.

He also does not understand why I thrash about in my sleep, alternately grinding my teeth and calling out "settle down Francis!"

I wonder if those dreams coincide with my morning wood.

I just blew my own mind. [Wow. Is that ever an opening for a good comeback or what?]

I don't think he'd approve of my sending a pic of my pups for breasticle day redux, but like Anne says, a girl's gotta have some secrets.

Well, I've already received 4 shots of one set of new breasts. Excellent pictures. The question is, does anyone else really want to play?

New breasts as in new to her or new to you?

And, no. I also have no real desire to see a shot of your cock for some reason.

It's that perfect attention to detail that makes you so beloved here.

Is anyohe else enjoying these fabulously brutal reviews Ed Burns is gettinf for his performance in Confidence or whatever his new movie is called? NYT said he makes Ben Affleck look like a young Dustin Hoffman. Salon (the parts I could read bc I cant access the day pass- can anyone else? ) was even worse. I wonder if this will kill his newly repaired relationship with Chrity Turlington (like I believe they split bc his relatives wouldnt fly to Italy for their wedding post 9/11- not a dealkilller if you are engaged).

Hee Hee. Its so rare to get such deliciously harsh reviews. Makes me want to be a film critic.
