chickelit म्हणाले...: Axillism; २०/१/१४, १२:१७ PM
Bob R म्हणाले...: Shouldn't you insist on "armpit vulvae?"(I don't know latin. Had to look up the plural.); २०/१/१४, १२:२० PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: No. Don't insist, not if you're a man correcting a woman.

Say "I love your metonymy" and move on.; २०/१/१४, १२:२५ PM
pm317 म्हणाले...: In the interest of pubic service:

rhhardin म्हणाले...: It's a cry for breast attention.; २०/१/१४, १२:३७ PM
pm317 म्हणाले...: Althouse is keeping a breast of it all.; २०/१/१४, १२:३८ PM
David म्हणाले...: The beautiful can get away with so much more than the proles.; २०/१/१४, १२:४१ PM
Tank म्हणाले...: Lawrence has some of the same mannerisms on camera as Althouse.

That's a compliment (in case there's any ambiguity).; २०/१/१४, १२:४७ PM
Rose म्हणाले...: Sorry, but those two are a waste of air.; २०/१/१४, १२:४८ PM
curmudgeoninchief म्हणाले...: I think Ms. Lawrence is following in the footsteps of Cameron Diaz, who also likes to do wacky things in public, on camera, on any carpet that even remotely looks red. This is a career move for her; shows she can do comedy, as well as shooting arrows at people in action movies.; २०/१/१४, १२:४९ PM

SGT Ted म्हणाले...: "there is going to be some hair on it"

"or not. I can't keep up with the fashions anymore."; २०/१/१४, १२:५७ PM
Krumhorn म्हणाले...: Jennifer can do no wrong in my opinion. She is endlessly entertaining and disarmingly charming for such a youngster. Her comments backstage after having tripped at the Oscars were a publicist's dream. You can't coach that.

As for talent, Katniss is as far as you can get from a Long Island housewife.

William म्हणाले...: I knew James Bond was a crock, but Sean Connery made it credible. Ditto with Jennifer Lawrence and Hunger Games.; २०/१/१४, १:२९ PM
jacksonjay म्हणाले...: Two sticks talkin "arm-pit fat" and "arm pit vagina"! How very charming, indeed!; २०/१/१४, २:२७ PM
Bob R म्हणाले...: I wrote "you" with the thought that Althouse should be the one doing the insisting, not me. But the "I love your metonymy" tip is a good one.; २०/१/१४, ४:०८ PM
CatherineM म्हणाले...: See, I mentioned this in a post a week or so ago, but I can't remember the subject. Basically, these days if you say vagina, you are cool! It says, hey, I am not stick in the mud! I talk about my vagina!

Hence, Jennifer Lawrence is cool.

If she had a talking vagina, that would be cooler!; २०/१/१४, ४:२१ PM
Blob म्हणाले...: No mention yet of Alien Nation? Disappointed.; २०/१/१४, ४:२१ PM
The Godfather म्हणाले...: Can someone explain to me how fat armpits (which she doesn't seem to have, but maybe the picture isn't good enough -- pass that) become armpit vagina? I have seen many armpits and several vaginas, and I don't make the connection.; २०/१/१४, ४:३९ PM
DrSquid म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; २०/१/१४, ४:५० PM
DrSquid म्हणाले...: Reminds me of the old joke:

"Have you gotten any on the side lately?"

"No, I haven't gotten any in so long I didn't know they'd moved it!"

Yeah, wasn't funny then either.; २०/१/१४, ४:५० PM
Al Johnson म्हणाले...: Bless you, Ann, for using a word that's been part of my vocabulary for decades-- in which time I don't believe I've ever seen it in print. An arcane term that deserves to become more popular--; २०/१/१४, ५:०३ PM
Biff म्हणाले...: I remember when everything wasn't either a vagina or a penis. Then I took a college lit class. I fell asleep there, too.; २०/१/१४, ७:०३ PM
kristinintexas म्हणाले...: I like Jennifer Lawrence, but I'm disappointed that when someone asks about her gorgeous dress all she can do is draw attention to her non-existent armpit fat. I didn't expect that from her.; २०/१/१४, ९:३३ PM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: I wonder when the charm will run out.; २१/१/१४, ९:४१ AM
