You know, all these "Lower taxes! Cut social programs for poor people! Personal responsibility!" people should be behind free birth control for everyone. You know what cuts spending in school lunch programs, medicaid, etc? Access to birth control so people don't have to raise children they can't afford. You know what reeks of personal responsibility? Taking birth control so you don't have kids you can't afford.
And for all those "I don't want to pay for some whore's slut pills!" assholes - You know how group insurance plans work, right? If you have insurance through your employer, you're already contributing $ toward your fellow employees health needs.
Fucking EXACTLY. I need to get the fuck out of this country before my bank account gets frozen and I'm turned into an Econowife.
yes! My husband & I were just saying this. (it's the accent)
Oh my God. She is my new hair idol. Need!!!!
Are you on the west coast, too?
You're not. I don't cry when I hear this song. In fact, I was surprised to find out to hear it has such a reputation as a tearjerker.
Wait -is the Grammys not being shown live in LA? I have to wait until 8pm PST? BULLSHIT.
This is the first video I ever remember seeing on TV. RIP.
DAMN IMAGES!!! (Gawker, fix your shit).
I wanted to post a pic of Carmen Carerra who is smoking hot. Oh well.
She only wishes she looked as good as actual ladyboys (ladyboys - a word RuPaul uses to describe other drag queens. I'd kill to look half as good as the girls on that show.)
ETA - that's Carmen Carerra, a contestant on last season's RuPaul's Drag Race
Can we talk about her boots for a second? Someone with as much money (and such thin legs!) as her picked CLOTH boots over a nice pair of leather ones?
That baby has so much hair! Adorable.
A video that's nothing but that screencap of doubtful Debra Messing would have been fitting.
I unabashedly admit that I want to be a drag queen. People think I'm nuts and I give zero fucks! If I would walk around looking like they do, I'd be the happiest girl in the world.
Good for you, Willow. I wish I had the balls to shave my head.
So happy this is back! Sharon Needles forever (I LOVED her even in the preshow stuff on Logo) and Jiggly killed it. However, calling it RIGHT NOW - Dida Ritz will win. Yes, she came in with a busted wig but mark my words, she's walking away with it (even though Latrice came in the room last - all the winners of seasons past have been the last to arrive in the workroom).
Whenever I see Ru in drag my heart stops. She's so damn beautiful.
I feel so bad for this cat. Everyone thinks it's funny but this poor thing is scared shitless.
I wish her well. My sister almost died from pneumonia at age 9 and it left her with a case of life-long asthma. Pneumonia is scary stuff.
Summer before junior year of college - I had decided to stay in my small college town for the summer because I was in Love (capital L). So I moved in with a girl I knew from high school who I had randomly reconnected with earlier that year. She was super clingy but it didn't bother me at the beginning since I had so few friends.
She was a nightmare to live with. After we moved in together I started finding razor blades in the bathtub and bloody towels on the floor. She was cutting herself about twice a week and eventually stopped trying to hide it. That's when I started to see blood dripping down the walls of the shower. She stole all my laundry money to buy cigarettes, invited runaway kids to crash on our couch for a few days, allowed people I didn't know to use my computer and sleep in my bed when I wasn't there, and told people I've never met that I was fine with giving them rides at 2am. Plus, she never had any money for groceries so I always had to buy them for us.
One day I came home to find her grinding up her debit card in the garbage disposal. I should have known then that something was wrong, but I was too young and stupid to realize what was about to happen. A few days later I came home to find that she bought about 10 cartons of cigarettes and a pair of leather pants. Then, two days before the semester was supposed to begin, I came home to find out that we were being evicted from our apartment. Turns out her rent checks never cleared. My checks for my half of the rent always cleared, which is why we had been able to stay as long as we did. She asked me to get a $900 dollar advance off my credit card so we could pay the back rent. I told her to ask her parents for money - turns out they had given her rent money, which she had used to buy the cigarettes and leather pants.
Long story short, we got evicted. I forced her to call her parents because I wasn't going to get dragged through court for her ass. They paid her past due rent and I, having nowhere to live, had to drop out of college and move home with my parents. When my parents came to help me move home, her 40-year-old boyfriend got into a fistfight with my dad (boyfriend started it). Years later that same boyfriend was on the news because he killed his neighbor.
And that guy I was in "love" with? Totally unrequited. I had to drop out of college because I was stupid enough to believe that if I hung around all summer he would see how great I was and love me back. Nope!
(To be fair - I was not the greatest person to live with either since I was all "Why won't he love me?" and mopey all the time, but at least I was clean and my checks didn't bounce.)
Who cooks babies anymore? Everyone knows fetuses are where it's at.
