  You just can’t make this stuff up. The Ladies Against Feminism (for real) co-sponsored a “baby conference”where Michelle Duggar of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting received the “Mother of the Year Award.”

As Amanda tweeted, “I fail to see how being physically capable of non-stop pregnancy is the same thing as being the world’s best mother…That’s like saying the guy who can eat 50 hot dogs in a minute is the world’s greatest gourmand.” Why is ultimate motherhood simply about having as many babies as possible? And when oh when is the Christian Right going to stop promoting the notion that women’s ultimate purpose is incubating?

I also think it’s worth noting that the founder of Ladies Against Feminism, Jennifer Chancey thinks women shouldn’t vote or hold office. So apparently being a dope mother is also about teaching your children that women don’t deserve or need equal rights.

Nwk friend Kathryn Joyce wrote a very nice piece for us a few years ago (and a nicer book) about the Quiverfull movement that is behind things like this.

Breaking out a good pick up line is an art. When you come across a good one, like a really good one, then it's pretty spectacular.

Some of the ones in this Mad Men montage are kinda corny. But if they were delivered that smoothly and confidently, then yeah. I'd bite.

I’m 15.

I run a successful fashion blog (almost 10,000 strong!).

I’m coming out with an online magazine in August with some pretty nice names featured in it. 

I’ve made over $400 on the internet so far.

I’ve been fucked over, lied to, and shot down.

I never gave up.

And I’ll keep going until you see a WeTheUrban store in your mall! I wanted to share this with you all to show that ANYONE can do anything if they put there mind to it. Entrepreneurs are the new rockstars! The Youth Is Starting To Change.

It takes a special kind of narcissism to celebrate ignorance by comparing one’s self to genius.

I don’t like the way daycares smell.  And sometimes, when people have children, their houses end up smelling like a daycare.  And sometimes those people end up smelling like a daycare.  Like the people that just left our conference room.  They smelled like a daycare.  And now our conference room smells like a daycare.  It smells like gross little children.  Sticky messes, play-doh, stupid plastic-y toy things, diapers, glue and construction paper.  I don’t like it.  Just like I don’t like children.

 Yes, yes, yes, yes. A thousand times, yes.

Today is one of those "never having kids" days...

OMFG!

So, someone saw Eclipse and DIED! Just died in the cinema. The cleaners found him the next day.

This leaeds to a few thoughts:

Which cinema?

Which chair?

It was in the front row? I am never sitting in the front row.

OMG did I know him?

Twilight movies cause death

If I see this film, I might die

Shit. I should stop washing my sugar down with whiskey
