Because my mind hasn’t aged past the age of 12, I have to share the ad the appeared just below this blog - for your demon-fucking-and-pulling-out needs:

I worked there in college and ended up in a training video of sorts because my store won a sales challenge. I got a pittance of a gift card for doing it but at least I was clocked in for a couple of days and got hella drunk with the production staff after filming. Not bad for when you’re 21. Read more

Thanks to having watched the Blues Brothers around half a dozen times, I can never not hear the words “Pier 1 Imports” in Dan Aykroyd’s nasal monotone.

OR ... Pier 1 was overpriced af with an outdated aesthetic. Last time I was in one, many moons ago, the few items I looked at gave me sticker shock.

Pier 1 was where you went when you graduated college and officially became an adult. It was affordable and somewhat luxurious for early 20-somethings. Remember those beautiful hand-blown thick glassware with the cobalt blue tops? I probably spent the better part of my 20s in Pier 1. Read more

I’m in my thirties now, but as a very cool fifth grader I bought all of my crinkly maxi-skirts and jingle-bell anklets at Pier 1.  Read more

Admittedly, I did not read full article above, but I have seen plenty articles in a similar vein. Under US trademark law (note this is not patent law for the arm chair warriors out there), common law rights are acknowledged and a valid enforceable right (not the best type of enforcement), but yet are enforceable based Read more

If Lady Antebellum was their before-we-knew-it-was-bad name, wouldn’t the obvious new name be Lady Reconstruction? Read more

I love Debutants Pavillion, if they don’t hear your cry i may need to start a country band and use it. Read more

Come on it should be, nay has to be... Lady Karen. Read more

Someone on Twitter suggested Bitch Plantation. Read more

I am not counting them as fully repentant unless the change their name to Lady Abolitionist, and their creative direction to match. Read more

LOL I thought I was the only one. I peruse my iPhone’s newsfeed in the morning while I’m drinking coffee, and when I’m done getting angry at all the f’d up stuff happening in this country, I invariably end up clicking one of their links, only to be disappointed yet again by the offerings in those lists...

I hate the superlatives — the best, the only, the chicest. Their editors buy (oh really?) ridiculously expensive merchandise for themselves, I wonder what their salaries are (or how much gets gifted). Who What Wear has a line at Target. The price point is low and so are the designs. But yet, I’m drawn to the Read more

In March, I broke out a basic apron sewing pattern, used some old demin fabric and sewed my own; Its been my companion ever since. That and my bra. Read more

I mean, sure there’s some societal messaging but let’s be real, way less of it now than even 10 or 20 years ago. When you look at models and most actresses, they tend to be on the small side. And famous women with big breasts are relegated to the ‘sexy’ category and/or not taken seriously, unless they downplay their Read more

Tip for any small/medium sized ladies who like a bra but don’t need a ton of support. My breasts are not particularly notable in size - thirdlove calls me b and a half, so somewhere between a large b and not quite a c by traditional sizing. Even without large breasts, I don’t like the feeling of being without some Read more
