Re: Women's torture device of choice.
I’m pro-dowhateverthehellyouwant but I honestly don’t see any upside to heels other than upping one’s ‘attractiveness’. Shoes can be breathtaking, beautiful or awesome and it is fun to dress up, but many other “superficial” activities fulfill those impulses just as well. At least make-up does not mess with my anatomy or stop me from walking whenever and...

Don't Date a Girl Who Reads  →
“Date a girl who doesn’t read. Find her in the weary squalor of a Midwestern bar. Find her in the smoke, drunken sweat, and varicolored light of an upscale nightclub. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers when the people that are talking to her look away. Engage her with unsentimental trivialities. Use pick-up lines and laugh inwardly. Take her outside when the...

hermionejg: Second—to respond to those whose argument is that Lawrence doesn’t look authentically “hungry” enough for the role (rather than those, like Wells, whose argument is purely aesthetic)—not everyone who starves him- or herself looks like a supermodel. If that were the case, everyone on a calorie-restricted diet would be skinny; genetics prevent most humans from achieving that look....

It really is horrifying
stfusexists: cyruspotnoodle: ginger—gal: vuhnessah: that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable. White Woman Tears (TM) are a powerful thing. And Janet Jackson hasn’t been invited back to the Grammys...

To be clear!!!
fishingboatproceeds: I have not read a single post on tumblr with an accurate spoiler. So don’t feel like the book has been spoiled for you or whatever. But the IDEA that people are intentionally trying to shape other people’s reading experiences really bothers me. Why would you do that? How does it help you? What purpose does it serve? In what way is it entertaining? The whole affair strikes...

Why I like this cover
absolumentmoderne: Hi folks, I thought I’d take a minute to let you know why I think the cover design for John’s new book The Fault in our Stars is brilliant. I am almost as dismayed by the negative responses to the cover as I was impressed by the amazingly wonderful designs submitted by many of you earlier this year. While I respect that aesthetic judgments are highly subjective, there are...
