By "tried on" I mean "hiked around my knees". They fit even worse than the sausage casings at American Apparell. And I wear a 6 at the Gap. Admittedly, Gap sized may be inflated, but come on, if I can't squish my ass in them what about the rest of America?

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Theatre's Top Honors Go to Guy From Oklahoma, Latino Dude From Uptown]]> @LawAndDisorder: I read an interview in Time Out NY where he says he actually grew up in Inwood not the Heights. I commend his honesty - he's one person who's not faking the funk.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Coach Brand Teaches Students How To Be Dirty Shills]]> Tis was awesome when it was going down at Hunter. I remember the ridiculous posters and the even more ridiculous "Break the Chain" anti-counterfiting festival with handy stickers about how counterfeit Coach bags are made by 4 year olds in China. (Unlike the real ones which are made by 8 year olds in Myanmar.)

My favorite part of the blog:"I feel nauseous. I want to vomit in this horrible, fake fake fake bag. Do you know what fake material smells like? SHIT. Actual shit. It makes me feel like shit just sitting next to it."

While Hunter was doing all this crazyness, one of my favorite scientists down the street at Rockefeller University drew me a flowchart of how to get the best Coach bags on Canal street.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Texas Oddly Expects You To Visit]]> Feh, Houston! All they've got there is steers and schmeers of liver paste on $2 Bahn Mi. A bunch of freakin' degenerates.

If they'd lay of the szzyrup they could finally embrace a proper Bush family aesthetic instead of the bastard unamerican stuff they throw our way in the form of Indian Jewelry and Rua Minx.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on "James And I Have Been Having Unprotected Sex For The Last 2 Months"]]> @ZeldaBlue: I totally agree. But nobody is addressing the real questions here: where can we enroll in Experimental Architecture school? And what kind of grad school did the guy flunk out of? Can one flunk out of an MFA? Has anyone found the myspace page? And was the guy's denim fine Japanese selvage or the usual pedestrian fare?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on How I Conquered My Cystic Acne, In (Just!) 17 Painful Steps]]> @zahava: Dude! Is Tazorac the new Differin? I'm pretty happy with differin but I;m always on the lookout for something cheaper, at least until the patent runs out. Hello generic!

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on How I Conquered My Cystic Acne, In (Just!) 17 Painful Steps]]> I love talking about acne!

I sound like a shill for the stuff by Differin worked like a miracle for me. (And I have the scarring from the old cystic a to prove that it fixed more than just a pre menstrual flare-up.) I've tried Clindomycin, Doxicycline, chinese herbs, the pill, benzoyl peroxide, fancy DDF stuff from Sephora, and bless them it was the retinoids that did finally the trick. I first heard of Differin from a male model friend wih perfect skin, and it really is a wonder drug as far as I'm concerned. Other people have suggested Retin A which is similar, and possibly cheaper. (Or you can just buy it from Canada. Shhh. ) Retinoids are much gentler than peels but are similar in that they prevent acne by exfoliating, so Jasmine, if the glycolic peel was good, you might have similar results with retinoids. They require a prescription, and generally aren't covered by insurance but for me a $100 tube lasts 6-8 months and is so worth it.

I also hear that Accutane can give miraculous results but when my college boyfriend was on it he had to stop taking it because of the roid rage. And as the "no baby" symbol on the packaging indicates it causes major birth defects.

Also, is that Austin, TX?

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on American Apparel Will Make You Look Like A Fat Hooker]]> Amen sisters! Amen to the pervy non-closing white curtain! Amen to clothes that make a size six cry! After a nostalgia trip to some of the weirder finds in Loheman's back room circa 1990 I tried on both the cut out malliot and the suspender malliot thing. I was quickly crying for the communal fitting rooms and flattering cuts of heavily discounted italian resort wear. As someone who's idea of fun in high school was dressing as Frankenhooker in some of New York's finest fitting rooms, I can say I've tried on much better lame pants than the ones at AA.

AA is hurting the pride of high school girls who will never know how cute their bum-bum could have looked in a catsuit in the plush fitting rooms of the downtown Barney's.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Staph Superbug Hits N.Y.U. Dorms]]> Poor hospitals!I heap the blame on them when the kid could have picked up the infection in a much happier place.

Like a locker room full of jocks!

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Staph Superbug Hits N.Y.U. Dorms]]> But where did he catch it? From an errant falaffel?From leaning against the Washington Square arch? Did Max Brenner include a special somthin-somethin' in the chocolate pizza?

My guess is that this was some pre-med go-getter who picked it up at Bellevue (NYU affiliated) or St. Vincents (so close!) hospital where all the hottest new anti-biotic resistant strains go mainstream. I tells ya, infectious diseases haven't been the same since bottle service.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Inside The Bellevue Mental Hygiene Clinic]]> Awww, Dude(ette), stay out of the ER if you can help it. FEGS offers non-emergency outpatient mental health services for the uninsured in a chic Tribeca environment. With fancy magazines! Beat that Bellevue!

Seriously, Bellevue is tops for trauma, so if you get doored on your bike to work they will patch you up in no time. But unless you come in at 7am, urgent care, because it's "non-emergency" is a fun waiting game. Still, it beats the time a friend checked herself into Woodhull. After 5 hours an orderly walked by her gurney, muttered "still alive" and kept on walking.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on Keanu Reeves Not As Dumb As He Looks, Acts]]> I love Keanu. I wish I could find that interview where he was asked a typical question about one of his films and he replied "It's a particle. It's a wave." Perhaps he's pioneering neuroscience with his clinical research in Botulinum toxin. He's working on another plane I tells ya.

<![CDATA[MyrtleWilloughby commented on "Your Vagina Is Your Center. Always Remember That."]]> FYI on washing your hoo-ha with soap.
Soap + Vidge -> Yeast infection
Dirty fingers + Vidge -> Bacterial vaginosis

Both are distinct forms of Rotten-Cooteritis, but the former smells like old beer while the latter smells like fish guts. See also: the Mystery in your panties from gurl.com.
