On Grimes, "Genesis"
I saw her open for Austra at the Echo in LA, and I love love love her. She is weird (I don't use that word lightly) and wonderful.

On Not a Thanksgiving Mix Tape
@Daisy Razor *raises hand* Yup. I laughed out loud because that joke was super relevant to my life.
And then I thought...weird, now I'm old enough that jokes on sites that I like are relevant to my life.

Yes, definitely ask around! If your Russian is good enough to call/visit a salon and ask if any of their staff speaks good English, you'll be SO MUCH HAPPIER. I found a pretty normal, very cheap place with an English-speaking hairdresser when I was there and it went just fine. Wish I remembered the name of the place so I could share the love.

Presumably, the title of her book refers to this experience.

Oh my gosh. I just moved to Echo Park--LIKE JUST THIS PAST SATURDAY. Should I go? Will I be the youngest person there? Will I be able to get past my crippling shyness?

On The Betrayal of Bikini Bottoms, or, Meet the Butt’s Butt
The Hairpin is always relevant to my life - I JUST TODAY received my J.Crew swimsuit bottoms (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/swim/solids/PRDOVR~45273/45273.jsp BUT NOT IN ORANGE) in the mail, and you know what? I am all about my butt's butt. I wear boyshorts absolutely every day, though, so I guess I'm used to it? Also I'm kinda little. But I still hate the back of my thighs just like the ladies upthread. Looord-y.
But the top that goes with the bottoms I got today is on backorder until after the Rapture. UGH.

On I'm a 41
I got a score of 51 and a brief bout of anxiety about my difficulty with monogamy because of question #17.
I agree, some the questions are inane, but I...DO try to pay for friends' meals a lot, even when I don't have the money. So maybe there's something to it.
