See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

(Formspring hijack, sorry Ms. Taylor) Fellow chet-baker-loving girl: first of all I THOUGHT ONLY LOUNGE LIZARDS KNEW OF CHET BAKER?! there is hope! second, find yourself in San Diego and we will watch AWESOME-vintage concert dvd’s and eat cake, k?

no one has ever called me ms. taylor before. also this formspring missed connection stuff is too funny. given the arsenal of complex social media tools at our disposal, i like that we opt to do it like this.

Ask Taylor anything

if I’m a girl, that likes girly girls, and is strange (i like chet baker and baking cakes and trains and wearing skirt suits to college), and am funny-looking, and shy, do you think someone will love me? I’m not sad, just sometimes I cannot imagine it. :)

i think the chet baker + cake baking angle is great. work that. i am 100% certain the cake baking alone is enough to get you loved/laid.

hi. i need the Dinah situation explained to me please. i’m bought a ticket to club skirts but AS is doing Girl Bar? what does this mean? does this mean i won’t see you guys at all?

Excellent question!

Here’s the deal: Autostraddle is doing Girl Bar, which means we’ll be at Girl Bar’s pool parties and Girl Bar’s dancey situations that make me feel weird and frolicking up and down the hallways of Girl Bar’s host hotels (Hotel Zoso and the Hyatt Regency). Some of the people you know and love from AS will be doing Club Skirts (Miss April Sarah Croce, for examp).

Will you see us at all? I feel like there’s a good chance you will, because it seems like everything happens withing a 3-block radius or something. You will probably see us at the Coffee Bean or anywhere that sells sweet potato fries.

Also guess what! There are a couple of single-event tickets that you can buy in advance, like for Gurlesque on that Saturday night and the comedy show on Thursday!

We’ll have more info and announcements throughout the next three weeks, so bookmark this link:

And if you haven’t already purchased tickets, go do that asap so I’ll have someone to share my fries with.

If you could visit any place from Harry Potter, where would you go? (Excluding Hogwarts, because, duh, everyone says Hogwarts)

it’s been a while since i read the books but i think while harry is staying with the weasleys one summer he has a sort of small upstairs attic bedroom situation? i think that. that sounds like a very nice place to read a book/nap/write long letters to be delivered via owl/build paper airplanes/practice magic spells/eat small snacks. i think that is a place i would like to be.

I’m 21 and have never had a girlfriend. I’ve never even kissed a girl. What can I do to remedy this? I have tried OKC when real life failed; nothing. Like, this means I must be horribly ugly or boring, right?

i really hope that it only *seems* like most of you are severely insecure and hopeless-feeling w/r/t future / present relationships. because COME THE FUCK ON.
when i was 21, i’d never had a girlfriend or kissed a girl. when i was 22, i think, i kissed a super fucking hot girl but i still didn’t have a girlfriend and i wouldn’t for another 4 years. and yet IN SPITE OF THIS APPARENT ATROCITY i’ve somehow managed to persevere.
in fact, even with this weekend’s eyeball plague and severe allergies, i’m still kissing girls. ok? that’s just how awesome it is to be gay and well-read.

the next person who for real comes on here and wants me to tell them they’re not ugly or boring or doomed or that they will yes yes yes one day yes get a girl, is getting a broad tip sharpie to the earhole. GO READ MY FANCY WEBSITE AND STOP FEELING LIKE YOU’RE PATHETIC BECAUSE YOU’RE FUCKING NOT, OK. you’re fucking amazing, so shut the fuck up.
