Everyone is beautiful, including Gabourey Sidibe

Fat is a feminist issue. If you don’t understand that, you can’t call yourself a feminist. Because I say so. Yes, I do so, too, have that power. I love it that People Magazine included Gabourey Sidibe in its list of the “100 Most Beautiful People of 2010.” I don’t believe they are holding her …

The Bloggess wins the first Supreme Writing Award from A Conservative Lesbian

I am still working my way through the technical difficulties that developed over the weekend when I was trying to figure out how to add some awesome new features to my blog. However, some outrages must not be allowed to stand. I see today that my dear friend, The Bloggess, was in the running for …

Advice on sex tapes for Rielle Hunter

The Bloggess has advice on making sex tapes — “Don’t!” — but since the sex DVD of Rielle Hunter and John Edwards has just come to public awareness and I hear tell you only can recognize John Edwards, I think it’s only common decency to bring items seven through 10 on re-dubbing the sound track …

What The Bloggess brought to her daughter's school to celebrate Multi-Cultural Day

All right, first of all, I’ll wait for all the heads to finish exploding over a Texas school celebrating “Multi-Cultural Day.” OK, then. Next, I will remind you that Jenny, The Bloggess, is my dear friend and that I invented the acronym PFNFNDHTIN (pee first, no food, no drinks, have tissues and inhaler nearby) to …

'Nobody's gonna rain on my blog tirade'

I love The Bloggess and had no idea she has such a lovely singing voice! I’m going to have to start watching “Glee.” And going to bed on time — by coincidence, it was exactly 1:26 am here when The Bloggess said she was up at 1:26 am. Update, 12/13/09, Sunday: See another side of …

Gone to lynch

Huzzah, Jenny, The Bloggess, whom I love pure and chaste from afar, is back from Japan. Before watching this video, I have to caution you that there is a reason I made up a new Internet acronym for her: PFNFNDHITN (Pee First, No Food, No Drinks, Have Inhaler and Tissues Nearby): Thank you, my dear …

'I'm your social media guru'

H/T Katherine Mangu-Ward at Reason magazine’s Hit-and-Run blog. In August The Bloggess, whom I love pure and chaste from afar, wrote “How not to get fired for using social networking” — speaking of which, while you’re in the neighborhood, I also recommend her post, “Get my husband off Facebook” — I adore her husband, Victor, …

The magic spell that will save your marriage

I adore The Bloggess and she has been the subject of laudatory posts I’ve written here and here. Yesterday she wrote about a fight she had with her husband, who sounds like a wonderful man if you follow her blog, and I could not resist giving her the following advice in the comments: OK, here …

The blow job equivalency

Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, is one of my favorite writers and I got sucked into the comment vortex on her most recent post for a totally innocent reason — yesterday, I vowed, come hell or high water, I would find out why CommentLuv was showing links to the blogs of other commenters at her …
