I’ve tried a few tanning lotions and gave up because I couldn’t handle the smell. The smell doesn’t go away when you wash your hands…which freaks me out!

My thighs never touched until about a year ago when they started to slightly. I don’t know if they have gotten chubbier, or perhaps I’ve hit an age where gravity has started to show. Whatever it is I want a thigh master!

OK, I’m not in Liverpool as you know, but I’m sure you’ve seen that I’ve checked in on your blog, I don’t know, A BAZILLION TIMES????, in the last day or so to see if anyone’s added anything to the What Have You Read Lately post. I’m a book stalker is what I am. And proud of it!

My thighs have touched each other since birth. I’m not proud of it, nor am I fat, but I have “the family thighs,” which is what all the females in my family call them — every woman in my family has touching thighs. If I get REALLY thin — and I mean RREEEEAAAAALLLLLYYYYYY thin, to the point where I even think that I may be too thin — then they don’t touch each other. I think I had a week or two of that in my life.

Let me know if you DO end up finding a self tanning lotion with a tolerable smell. I have yet to find one myself and have resigned myself to being forever pale!

No, my thighs do not touch thanks to my crazy triathlon training, though I am self conscious of them in shorts (no matter the length) and not at all in a bathing suit. I was contemplating the oddity of that at the pool just this morning!

My thighs Do Not Touch. But, I have Nasty Vericose Veins!! I don’t like them. When is that question??

I actually find myself Enjoying The Smell of The Self Tanner. It reminds me of Summer. I like The Jergens Brand most of all. Because it smells like Feet!

Project Runway wasn’t too bad last night however the preview for the season looked sort of meh. I do think they got an interesting group and I particularly like the girl with the Betty Page haircut.

As for your question the answer would be, nope.

Yes, they touch no matter how much I lecture them about good touching (none, ever) and bad touching (what they’ve done every single freaking day in my memory). & happy 29th b’day!

I just left this exact comment on Project Rungay, but I LOVED last nights episode, LOVED the cast and think I am already in love with this season.

I enjoyed PR last night. The guy who got booted–when they previewed him at the beginning and showed his store, I thought his stuff looked great. (Although, I thought, “Just like Christian–all in black.”) AND, when he said his theme for the challenge was “April showers brings May flowers,” I expected that he’d be USING FLOWERS on his dress somehow. I’m really not sure how that theme was supposed to translate. And what was with the yellow dishwashing gloves?!

Very much enjoyed “Who Killed the Electric Car.” Scary, scary world we live in…

Like Dawn, all the women in my family have “the thighs.” Like no matter how athletic we are or what we eat, we’re always gonna have those tree trunks. And yeah, they touch…

hi,
i just found your blog not too long ago and am hooked.

a good self-tanning lotion is the jergens one. the regular one works slowly and is a little runny, but the new express one works in like 3 days. the fragrance doesn’t bother me…

Oh Hilary I am SO happy you are watching Tori’s show. I have been obsessed with her for about a year now, I read her book. It’s a really sad story about her and her mom’s relationship stemming from her mom’s jealously of Tori’s dad infatuation with her from birth. Her dad had no concept of money, even tho he was a multi-millionaire. A week before he did he gave her $20 as he had done for her entire life. The guy she dated during 90210 gambled away all of her savings and she never recovered it. Her first wedding was her mom’s wedding, she had no say about any details, let alone the location. Her family never communicated and discussed anything EVER. If you want to read the book you can. I fell in love with her, she is a hard working girl just like her dad, it’s just the homewrecker part….

Ok, enough about that. I think I my thighs will touch until the day I die. I was born with my little belly, and thighs touching. However, our mom has the skinniest legs in the world!!! And I got my dad’s legs, ugh.

I think I like Kenley on PR. But there are too many people and not enough screen time to get to know them.

Mom got a self tanner foam that she seemed to like and it smells like mangoes. I happen to hate the smell of mangoes, but maybe you do.

As for your bday, you better like my present, if not i can use it!!

I told you about WHO KILLED years ago…GM sucks. Peter still hates them and will never forget when they “took away his baby”

I watch Tori’s show too and I go back and forth between loving her and thinking she is really spoiled. I think she has a good heart but understandably thinks she should have what she grew up with (she’s used to it and not used to having millions) and it seems like she resents her husband a little bit for not being able to give it to her. Just my opinion. Like when she took him to that house that was millions of dollars out of their price range and sulked when he said they couldn’t afford it. That said she is likable and funny.

I can’t believe I have this much to say about that show.

I’m embarrassed to admit that all these Tori Spelling comments have made me want to read her book. (Thanks Bethany!!!!)

I’d watch her show but I think my husband would have a fit. I could watch it another room, I suppose…

You should look at the series So noTorious, it was a spoof Tori Spelling did a few years ago, I thought it was hilarious, and I know it’s on DVD.

Yes my thighs touch, as they should, in my opinion.

When you see Jesus Camp, look for all of the closeted gay people (in addition to Ted Haggard). That to me was the most telling part of this movie, the abundance of gays in the right wing Christian world.

Dawn- check it out…it’s a good read. I will give you one more bit of gossip. Tori grew up with a nanny, and most nights she would sneak into her nanny’s bedroom and sleep on the trundle bed next to her nanny, instead of going to her parents room.

Bethany — how sad is that!?!? I’m feeling very bad for her (in some ways — I imagine she had it good in some other ways).

It’s already on my library list, but they’re all checked out already. I guess a bunch of people in CT are curious about her. I read the prologue and some of the first chapter on Amazon. I’m hooked!

Must be a guy thing, but I’ve never actually wondered about my thighs in that way…

I had no idea that was true about the taxis. I mean, I knew LA was weird, but it’s always entertaining when I find out about yet another weirdness.

Small world - I just sent back “Who Killed the Electric Car” to Netflix Monday. I liked the information in the film, though I thought the film itself was somewhat unbalanced (hence why I hold Frontline in high regard: they give both sides equal chances to state their case). I think you’ll enjoy “Jesus Camp”. Fascinating… and a mite bit scary…

now you’ve got the c-word on your blog you are going to get much more interesting search hits!

Well, I won’t comment on thighs (mine or my wife’s).

Concerning the electric cars, I’ll have to agree with GeekHiker. So ask yourself this question: Would you really have bought or leased one of those things?

Remember also that GM was not the only company trying to market the electric cars, but all companies that did try at the time failed. The technology and functionality just weren’t there, sorry.

My thighs have always touched. I didn’t even realize that some people’s dont until a friend was bitching about hers touching. I’m not at all overweight, and no matter how skinny I get they will just always touch.

Right now my thighs don’t just touch but they push by each other fighting for the same space. I hate it. Ten pounds less and they whisper past each other.

Grrrrr. Stupid cupcakes.

I am not going near the thigh touching question since I am almost 6 months pregnant

I really like the Mole and I think Mark is “the” mole. I really like him, too, and hope he wins a ton of money. On the episode where he broke down about how he and his wife have always had to work 2 jobs each to support their family and he just wants her to be able to stay home with their kids broke my heart! I’m maybe a bit hormonal?

Also, I am reading “The Way The Crow Flies” by Anne-Marie MacDonald and I LOVE IT! I’m only about 1/2 way through and it’s a large paperback, but it’s gret so far. I also breezed through the first three books in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer and am a little embarrased to admit that I am going to be picking up my copy of the next book in the series at midnight when it was released…I feel like a groupie!

Forgot to mention that I enjoyed JESUS CAMP a lot…let me know what you think. I found it very disturbing how such young children had such strong opinions about God and what Churches were “good” and “evil.” Scary.

Wait! Women’s thighs aren’t supposed to touch? Some days I think my are melded together.

I am enjoying The Mole. I am glad they got back to the “non-celebrity” format. It’s too bad there aren’t more women left. I don’t really care for Nicole, but if she is the mole, she is doing a terrible job of keeping it a secret. I think it is Clay.

I watched Jesus Camp on Netflix Instant Watch. It was disturbing to me. Although one of the creepiest things was the kid with the rat tail hair-do.

I like Jergens lotion…it smells nice too
and about my thighs..hmm…yeah…

My thighs have always touched even when I was a size 6. I weigh more now and it’s worse!!

1. Scrabulous causes me no end of frustration with the words that are not considered words that I KNOW really are words. UGH!

2. Starting my pre-HHD reads so I’m working on a book by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. S-l-o-o-o-o-w going…

3. Just can’t bring myself to talk about my thighs…sorry…just can’t.

Ok readers….here is the real deal. My mother, born 1909, always told me that perfect legs have 3 diamonds when they are together. 1st diamond at the thighs, second diamond between the knees and calves and last diamond between the calves and ankles. They show when you put your feet together!!! Diamonds represent diamond-shaped space. When I was very much younger I had 3. I am down to 2. Not bad for an old lady. Unfortunately for Hilary and Bethany, they got their dad’s legs and, for a guy, he has substantial thighs. Not fat…just there!!! Sorry girls…..it is in the genes!!!!!!!!!!

Love you

MOM

I use the Jergens lotion. Seems to be unanimous here. But are you seriously asking about THIGHS?!

Yeah, mine have always touched. I didn’t figure out until P.E. class in high school that not everyone else’s thighs touched.

Lately, I try to think how lucky I am to have all my limbs. And that my legs, no matter what shape they are, get me where I need to go! If I start comparing to other people, I really don’t feel good about myself.

So . . . YAY, legs! Get me where I need to be!

We’ve just started the first AUssie PR. Its not as shitty as out ANTM, but still, it lacks the budget and spark of the original. And it lacks the “AuF Wiedersehn”.

If i were there for your bday, id make you peach cobbler.

PS, gave the chelsea handler book to my bestie, who loves it. Working thru Bourdain’s Nasty Bits.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer– Read it… then watch the movie! The soundtrack is good too (Eddie Vedder).

Oh and good news everyone - CCL DOES read this blog, so make sure you keep saying hi to her.

She’s LOVING taking the personal (ie in my personal name not posting as a business/competitor) posts i put here on this non-baking related blog, and splashing their content all over her flickr account, accusing my business of conducting a smear campaign against her.

So if youre bored at work this week, feel free to dangle a hook and bait her - she loves to read this blog looking for a bite now that noone talks about her on flickr anymore!
