I’m willing to overlook the white booties, uniboob, swimsuits-as-a-bodysuit, and long skirts. The one thing that’s driven me up the wall FOR YEARS now is the jacket draped over the shoulders. I don’t get it. It’s certainly not a statement piece. It has no point. And it makes anyone doing this just look wider. It ranks up there with tying a sweater around your shoulder simply for “the look.”

Also, 2 winters ago I bought a pair of winter white pointed toe, kitten heel leather booties very similar to Taylor. I wore them with skinny jeans usually, put only maybe 5 times in the 2 years. I’ve recently put them in a giveaway pile, partly because I haven’t worn enough to keep storing them and partly because of what I’ve read on here 

I still think they’re kind of cute and they were trendy a couple years ago, but I think it’s dying out too. I don’t see me reaching or them a third winter.

Lastly, does Taylor wear glasses? As someone who is VERY near sided and has needed glasses since I was 9, it kind of bugs me when people use them like a fashion statement.

Boy, I’m in a pissy mood tonight.

I never knew “upside down sports bra” was a ‘thing.’

Just...no.

I’ve always been on the fence with the kid thing, which is actually a terrible place to be. I’d have one if my partner wanted but I’ve never felt this real strong pull to do it either. My husband didn’t want any and I figured I’d rather be with him than with a child I don’t even know.

I’ll be 38 this year and this is it for me as far as an age I’d want to be trying to get pregnant. I have a nice life and I still don’t know if I’d really want one or would feel ready. I don’t regret not having one right now in my life, but I do sometimes worry I’ll regret it further down the road.

Well this took a turn 😳

I’ll say so, yikes.

The one thing I always enjoyed while reading here was that even though we may be discussing petty little “dramas” on a radio show everyone has always been pretty civil and drama free to each other.

Also, were we supposed to be hiding our IPs? That never even crossed my mind. I think I’ve  even stated my location on here once

When Donny says that his mom is adopted 3 children and the first questions TS asks is, “are you jealous?? I would be!”

You’re almost 40 TS come on.

Adoption is wonderful. Way for he4 to put a negative spin on it 
 

I’m kind of with you on this. When Taylor was doing the rotating co hosts on SiriusXM I wasn’t a huge Carly fan either.

If it wasn’t for Emma I wouldn’t listen to SKC or In the Closet. I kind of am lukewarm about Matteo too. If it wasn’t for their interactions with Emma and how the play off of one another, I couldn’t listen to either of them just alone.

Can I have an update on what this smells like? I never heard of it so I looked it up and now I’m curious as well.

I HATED the smell. its smells musky and very peppery. My husband told me I smell like a man. so for me it was money wasted.

My husband told me I smelled like a lesbian LOL he hates it. But I like it enough to use the sample bottle at least. 
 

Thanks for letting me know Nat &OP! Now I don’t have to order a sample. I know perfume can be expensive, but when I saw the price for a whole bottle, I was a little surprised. Too “rich girl” for my blood.

What 36 year old travels for business with her mother?

 
You can pretty much say “what 36 year old...” and finish that with anything she does in her life. She’s mentally regressing, I swear.

I listened to both Lularoe episodes yesterday and oh my god was that insane. I had no idea when basically you’re buying someone’s product to resell at a markup you are expected to report back, uphold a corporate image, and answer to/brown-nose the higher ups? I thought you pretty much just did your own thing.

Obviously though that was the least of the crazy.

I had to look up what an MLM was too,and the rest of the episodes are pretty much things I’ve never heard of, but I think I’ll continue to listen anyway. I like me some good, insane gossip.

I still check in here to get a giggle. I’m glad to get some gossip from time to time. How, oh how, is the Facebook group still like this? How is she still relevant and able to make a living off this podcast? How is she still so immature? How is it she seems like a worse person than 10 years ago?

I have so many of the same questions from long ago and yet it still fascinates and boggles my mind.

Totally unrelated because I don't listen anymore but I would have caught that for sure. Drives me insane.

 
My husband gets on me about my mispronunciation of frustrated as well. I changed the way I say milk and eggs for him, but sometimes the Chicago in me is hard to shake.

My beef would then have to be with people from Indiana, like my husband, who are referred to as “Hoosiers.” Change that, it’s not cute, then you can correct me.

Wait - now I need to know how you said milk and eggs! I don't think of people from Chicago as having an overly pronounced accent.

I really don't have much, but when I went away to college (in central Illinois, mind you) there were people who noticed it.  Now I live outside of Indianapolis and I've had a few people ask me.  It's pretty slight but...

Milk = Melk
Egg = AA-g (long A sound with a "gh") 
Leg = LAA-g (another long A)
Soda = pop

I think my brother has it less becuase he's quite a bit younger than I am and didn't grow up as much around grandparents and older relatives.  However, he says he's been teased as an adult about a few words too.  

While I grew up in the south suburbs, my family is/was all from the South Side of Chicago.  My one set of grandparents had a bonafide "frunch-room."  That's how you'd say "front room" or "living room," if you're not in the know!

I do not say "sausage" weirdly or say "da" instead of "the."  Those people are far and few, that I've ever ran into.

Those are dimly lit terrible photos. Sometimes I sell on eBay and I make sure there’s decent lighting...not that I’m a professional photographer...nor live with someone who is.

Exactly what I thought! And even though she's selling high-end designer items I think they're too expensive. Especially the shoes, which are clearly not in great condition. 💁‍♀️

 
I think it would be more honest to also post a picture of the bottoms. As for the price, it is probably too high, but then again, a ton of people on Poshmark seem to think their used stuff is worth more than it is. You have to weed through a lot of crap to find a level headed sell on there.

I don’t have anything to contribute since I don’t listen any more but I do check in still to hear gossip.

Oh how I have to say though, Karma, I DO wish there was a “like” button at least because I’d be like-ing the shit out of those.

I just got caught up on here about the whole hood rat debate on FB (btw what’s the debate? It’s racist, whether you knew about it or not).

A couple days ago someone who was a Patreon supporter for Emma’s podcast said they were canceling because they don’t want to support anyone connected to TS. I thought that’s really too bad since she can’t control what comes out of TS mouth, but it will be interesting to see if she starts to distance as well.

 
I cancelled my Patreon.  It was me.  I love Emma and I subscribed to a monthly pledge as soon as she started The Inside The Closet Patreon.  I emailed her nicely and explained why I cancelled.  Inside the Closet is hilarious but it is also a safe and helpful resource for LGBTQ young people to have questions answered and to find a voice/ safe place.  All in one show TS pleaded ignorance of her racist comment.  TS made no mention of the fact that aside from being racist it is a deragatory and demeaning term to call someone. In the same moment that she said she wouldn’t say it again she also said (to CCC) “ but you can’t take away Ho or slut”.  I’m paraphrasing so don’t jump my ass.  I see this as a problem.  Would Emma be okay with TS calling someone a carpet munching dyke?  Sorry to be graphic and crude. Just trying to make a point.   I’m not on an anti-Emma crusade. I think she is an amazing talent.  But I also take my financial support seriously.  I cancelled because I’m not okay with Taylor throwing around the terms Ho and Slut just cause she is jealous of people. So I cancelled my TS subscription.  When Emma steps away from TS I’ll reaubscribe.  But you can’t have it both ways.  I won’t support GWNJ.  Other people can do it but I choose not to go there.   People can disagree but it’s my personal choice.  I did email Emma and explain.  I didn’t ask her to step away from TS I just explain d why I personally was leaving Patreon since I
