Dear Rihanna,
Please watch the Designing Women episode: “The Rowdy Girls” in which Charlene Frazier Stillfield helps her cousin Mavis break free from an abusive marriage. Rihanna, if Mavis can get out, so can you. You are a Rowdy Girl. Sincerely, Kristen Bartlett

Dealing With Rejection | G.L.O.C. →
julieklausner:
I’m quoted in this piece, alongside Lennon Parham and Caitlin Bitzegaio! You should read it, it is great.
I wrote this story, and I am so happy to see people responding well to it!
I wish I had the time and wordcount to share all of the brilliant advice that Julie Klausner gave me during our interview. If we could all manage to be even a fraction as talented, hard-working, and...

Last night at Lane Bryant ...
A woman told my husband (@sonicdork) in a really spectacular Willy Wonka-like way, “You’re here for an evening at Lane Bryant!”
Man if I didn’t work in television and if all of my comedic writing aspirations dried up, I would manage the SHIT out of a Lane Bryant. People would love shopping at my store, and I would make them feel welcome, happy and gorgeous. But I would not...

The Letter P
I just found out today that in the nineties, the Hamster Dance was spelled “The Hampster Dance.” It never occurred to me back then that it was spelled wrong.
And the Hamster Dance is still defiantly The Hampster Dance!
http://www.hampsterdance.com/
Why is that? Was it an intentional misspelling? An accident that no one wanted to admit or fix? Were people annoyed about the ...

Why I'm Not Ready to Have Kids
When I was a kid, my mom would go through the Wendy’s drive-thru and order a salad. The salad came with a foil-wrapped garlic breadstick and a packet of croutons.
On the car ride home, I would eat her garlic breadstick and croutons.
I realize now that that was a total jerk move. She never once called me on it.
It would be really strange to love someone so much, you’d let them eat...

Law of Attraction
Don’t start talking to me about the law of attraction until you can explain to me why I didn’t end up marrying a Hanson brother. I don’t believe I’ve ever worked harder to will something into being than when I was 15, and this poster was taped to my ceiling, directly above the area where my head hit the pillow, so I could stare into any one of their dreamy eyes (any one...

AT LEAST YOU HAVE A DAD
Just know this: If you post on Facebook that you’re doing something super fun with your dad, I am using all of the power in my body to keep myself from replying: “It must be nice to still have a dad.” Essentially, I’m probably Eeyore.
Enjoy it while you can, adorable stock photo baby.

TV Land
You know what I can’t stop watching?
That’s right. I am watching “Happily Divorced.” It is so kitschy, and the show dares to look Time in the face and say: “Sorry Time, ’00s NEVER HAPPENED.” It’s multi-camera, taped in front of a live audience, and the laugh lines ARE BIG. The audience laughing at the laugh lines makes me laugh.
I just spent...

Moustache Man
I, for one, feel a lot safer! My biggest worry about riding the subway late at night is that someone standing behind me might try to pull some calligraphy-business.

SHUT UP! That guy looked just like him.
sonicdork:
For the past year or so, my wife has thought many (most) actors look like the older brother on Blossom. His name was Anthony Russo, played by Michael Stoyanov, who actually went on to do some writing post-Blossom for Late Night with Conan O’Brien and a little show you might know called Mr….
