Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator - do NOT miss this little gem
Agreed, I love this stuff. It’s all I wear in the summer. There’s a few higher end skin tints I’ve been tempted to try but they’re 6x the price and probably not 6x as good as this one.

low key some of you guys are being fat shame-y about torrid's new clothes
Oh yeah, I’m with you there. I’m 43 now and while booty shorts and miniskirts aren’t my thing anymore, I’m also not ready for granny wear. We desperately need some plus options for those of us in between those two extremes. But even then, each person has a different idea of what that would ideally look like. I personally would love something like a J Crew or Madewell at their peak that is dedicated to plus sizes, but my taste is not everyone’s. It’s tough.

I definitely hear you. The original idea with Torrid was that it was supposed to cater to a younger, more trend-conscious, late teens-20s demographic, as opposed to the Lane Bryants and Catherine’s of the world, which catered more to 30+ folks. I started shopping there in the early 10s and they definitely always carried short shorts/miniskirts and more revealing items than other plus size stores would. I honestly think the complaints have just as much to do with the customer base from the store’s early/peak years aging out of the core demo (including me!) as any change in stylistic direction. As always, the real answer is that we just need more, and more diverse, plus size store options - one brand can’t be everything to everyone.
Anyway, keeping on rocking what you love to wear! I know some of the comments on here can come across as judgy and fat phobic, and it can be hurtful. Just remember other people’s insecurities are about them, not about you. 💜

My most disliked and overused trope in the books
Also isn’t it stated a few times in RoI that Walter has secret unrequited feelings for Faith, and that’s why he’s never considered Una as a potential romantic interest?

Alternatives to the Ruxton that isn't the Prime Rib
Second this. La Barrita is probably my favorite restaurant in the city atm. That beef short rib 🤤

Dior backstage, NARS light reflecting or Haus labs skin tech foundation
I haven’t tried Haus Labs but between the other two I prefer the Dior. Nars Light Reflecting is a really nice formula, but I’m a fair neutral and I find that even their cool shades pull yellow. It also oxidized pretty badly on me. YMMV though.

To anyone that is old enough to remember, how did you feel about the broncos divisional game and how does it compare to how you feel for todays game?
I remember having absolutely no expectations of winning going in. I think the Ravens were like 10 point underdogs. Now, that game is one of my all time favorite memories, but in the moment it was an insanely stressful watch. This game feels a lot more like a toss up to me, which is its own kind of nerve wracking.

Super Bowl Parades
Yes! I was standing in front of the convention center during the 2013 parade and I also remember people running down the street when Ray passed. After that we tried (and failed) to get into the stadium. I remember the Oriole bird mascot hanging out of a window in the Warehouse waving a Ravens flag as everyone ran past. What a crazy day that was.
My husband is a newer Ravens fan, mostly thanks to me 😁. I really, really hope he gets to experience that chaos this year.

Do cities with two teams have like zones of influences?
Yeah this isn’t really true. Generally speaking, Commies fans are concentrated in the two MD counties bordering DC, the counties on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay (what we call “southern Maryland”) and northern Virginia. Far western MD is actually closer to Pittsburgh than it is to either Baltimore or DC, so you see a lot of Steelers fans out there. The rest of the state (central MD and east of the bay) tends to be Ravens fans.

Looking for a great fair-neutral cream/stick bronzer
For a cheaper option, I have the Colourpop Bronze Stix in the shade Laguna Beach and I like it. It’s like $10. I’m pretty fair and neutral and it’s not too dark or overly warm on me.

How many piercings do you have and where?
Left ear - two lobes, two helix, and a conch. Right ear- three lobes, one helix. Considering a rook or daith on that side to even the numbers. Also have one in my right nostril.
