On How Pixie Lott Became A Star

Pixie Lott can't really be considered a star when people still can't tell her apart from Little Boots after three years in the public eye.

On Things That Should Fall Out Of A Piñata At A Cinco De Mayo Party

@daemonsquire ... And then you reach the point in your life/finances when you're excited to get free toothpaste, and this story seems less lame.

Cantata. Frittata. Pro rata. Non grata.

On A Treasury of the World's Worst Online Dating Stories

I logged in to say that Mallarmé was writing in the late nineteenth century. If you're going to be pretentious at least get it right. Ugh.

On Why Can't Dudes Have Sex in the Popular Movies?

No one could have sex in The Change-Up because society hasn't agreed on the protocol for body-swap sex. Is it

a) It's not cheating if you have sex with the wrong body but the mind of the person you're in a relationship with
b) It's not cheating so long as the body is the body of the person you're in a relationship with
c) It is cheating but a body swap is a free pass situation so it doesn't count
d) It is cheating and it is still a total betrayal so no one can have sex ever again, or until the swap ends
e) You can have sex so long as all involved parties knowingly agree to it

In summary, body swap plots are stupid.

On The Fascinating Art On Show At The California State Bar Convention

From a technical point of view, Early Morning Tequila is the better still life because the composition is better, and it demonstrates equally impressive technical skills (at least from the photos).

On Finally, Again, Permanently, Stop Writing "Lede"

Oh, you have no soul. Can't we let print journalism keep this final bit of romance on life support? Didn't we all want to be Woodward or Bernstein, or at least Hildy Johnson or, uh, Tintin, once upon a time?

On Dressing Up My Boyfriend As Marc Anthony In His Terrible Kohl's Clothes

@sophi Two of the dresses that I get the most compliments on came from Kohl's and were $20. They are cut incredibly well (a classic sheath and a classic 50's halter), and the construction is obviously good because I've had them for years.

On Three Rotten Classic Books I Never Want to See Again

@Vulpes What, there was gay subtext in that book? I was a very sheltered child.
