On The League of Ordinary Ladies: Short Dates
@frigwiggin My boyfriend used to always give fake names at the campus bagel place. He went through the entire Mets lineup, then went on to classical composers. I think he stopped after Wolfgang (spelled "Woofgang" on his order slip).

@Beaker I always trick everyone in two truths and a lie by telling them I was the backup singer in my high school bus driver's Santana cover band. (That's a truth.)

@tea tray in the sky. I am really good at lying but I try to do it only about objective facts of the sort that anyone with access to Google can suss out. (Somebody: "What year did Albert Einstein die?" Me: "1958.") I figure anyone lazy enough to ask me instead of looking it up deserves to get wrong information.

@Allisaurus Creeoy creeps are the worst. They make it so difficult to just be a person in the world, minding one's own business. Because of them I have to assume permanent bitchface whenever I leave the house.
I am so sorry you had to deal with that guy. Did you get his license plate number at least? Dudes like that deserve a ticket. Not that the police would give them one, but still.

@The Lady of Shalott West Elm has a bunch of stuff on super sale right now, including several very good-looking bedding sets.

@Holden Cauliflower My pin pal moved and I don't have her new address! This is super embarrassing because we're in the same city now and could totally hang out, if only I knew how to contact her...

On Beauty Q&A: ID Photos, Gaudy Shoes, and Looking 10 Years Younger
@lesimon I have the same problem. I wear matte foundation at work and should probably wear a neutralish lipstick but I never bother to wear any at all. I also wear glasses at work, which would be a good idea if they were old lady style (metal frames and lenses on the larger side) and not hip youngish looking ones like mine are. I also dress way professional. None of this seems to help, though-- I am frequently mistaken for my coworker's teenage daughter.

@The Lady of Shalott I had to get some passport pictures taken in Istanbul when I applied for my Turkish residence permit, and they PHOTOSHOPPED them. I got blemish removal, overall skin tone evening, the works. In my Turkish residence permit, I look more beautiful than I ever have in real life.
But in my actual passport I look like a student at Patrice Lumumba University (according to my dad), so call it even.

@Saaoirse I have the same problem. I usually just give them Mary, which is what I get half the time if I give them my real name anyway.
