I’m completely fascinated with hoarders, but find this show incredibly difficult to watch.
The difference between this show and Clean House is that the people in the latter aren’t true hoarders, most of the time. On Clean House, the messiness is usually easily attributed to something and the person is just overwhelmed. The people on Hoarders are beyond getting an organizer.
PS, I...
Chicago Cab Vomit Fee Would Be First Of Its Kind →
Reblogging bc I want to hear Megan Allison’s thoughts on this as a cab heiress.
tylercoates:
Chicago could become the first major city in the country with a puking ordinance if cab drivers get their way.
Chicago taxi drivers proposed a package of fee and fare hikes Thursday designed to offset their plunging income during the recession. Among the more controversial revenue-boosting ideas...

I've always been a Tarzan dater.
I am the same way now, too. And I used to be far more boy crazy, but now… I just kind of wait for dudes to come into my life, which inevitably, they do. I also have other things to think about. It only worries me because I know a lot of it is just trust issues. But, what are you gonna do, besides try to work through it?

But, I guess part of this job is letting other people know what I’m doing. I barely know who reads this (leave a comment if you like, anonymous is fine, I’m genuinely curious if anyone is reading…

So disgusted by this London Fashion Week tidbit. I’m glad the designer held his ground and kept the size 14 models in (I believe this translates to a smaller US size, but I don’t know) but so much drama because some of the girls needed Spanx?

Okay, maybe just a little bit. I’m not really a contra dancing or contact improv kind of girl.

Is There A Word For
tesslynch:
the feeling you get when you see one of your peers in glossy-paged press (Vanity Fair, New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, The New Yorker)? What’s the word for this? It’s like Schadenfreude for yourself, a mix of self-pity and self-derision for not having the foresight to produce satirical internet videos in the early-aught era, or learned to play the bass guitar, or said...

Boy, I really do love sex. So much. All different ways, too.
Oh man, whoa. This cold medicine is making me feel almost like I’m high.
I’ve had Atlas Shrugged for years but I still haven’t read it.
I’m feeling naughty because I left work two minutes early today.
Watch out world, I had a Venti this morning.

What Do I Get?

I went out with a guy last year who was very blatant in how frequently he would judge me. After he finally revealed his Facebook account like it was some kind of fucking new Apple product that needed to be shrouded in secrecy and finally just...

I appreciate headline writers who try to inject pop culture references into everything.
what is the word
for when one crazy internet person starts adopting the sayings of another crazy internet person? without the two knowing each other?
the word for that is: magic.

I stopped following a bunch of naked-lady blogs that only posted photos of skinny women and actresses. Then, I started following fuckyeahchubbygirls. It helps to see people with bodies that look like yours actually presented in a sexy manner.
That being said, every time I try to write about that annoying celebutante gay dude who just wrote up a huge post about how much he hates fat women and how...
