portable closet organizer with drawers?

January 6th, 2012
KS asked:


I want to have a good size portable plastic organizer. I rent and so the whole setup should be portable and dissassembled easily. Assembly should also not be very difficult.
I am not looking at some closets, but very fancy closets, with lot of space and bigger drawers to be able to dump everything into it… my 3 year kid is keeping me on toes…

This solution should support even putting all my kids toys mostly cars… from 3 inch cars to a feet long cars he got!

We have a President’s Day, why not a Civil Rights Day?

January 2nd, 2012
Jack Reacher asked:


I choose to celebrate “Civil Rights Day,” because I believe there are a ton of people out there more deserving of their own holiday than MLK Jr. The man was a great organizer and leader during a turbulent time, but the PC brigade has just about buried all the skeletons he had riding in his closet, polishing up his image to a mirror sheen. A flawed man, indeed, despite some of the good he has done, and his ability to speak well.

The Civil Rights Movement, as pertains to “Blacks,” or “African-Americans” or whatever PC phrase we’re using nowadays to segregate them, began as an idividual struggle amongst thousands of individuals, long before one boy’s father changed his name to Martin Luther King. In fact, long before that boy was ever born. He was a swell on a crashing wave that had built up for many, many years. He wasn’t the end-all-be-all personnae of the civil rights movement, just as Jesse Jackson isn’t the “Emperor of Black People” as he seems to think.

That being said, I believe we should have a Martin Luther Day, after the protestant reformationist.

When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in 1517, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but… 400 years later, thanks to him, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas. I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry’s and hold my head up high, and say in a loud steady voice: ‘Harry I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today I think I’ll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.’

That’s what being a protestant is all about, and that’s why it’s the church for me. And that’s why I think Martin Luther himself should have his very own day.

What are you putting on your Christmas List? What should I put?

December 16th, 2011
banana asked:


I’m 14 and I’ve started my list, but I think I need a few more… Sorry it’s so long! Haha

I found this awesome website called gifts.com, but I still feel like I need more on the list. It’s not that I’m a snob (well, maybe I am, but that has nothing to do with my Christmas list! haha); I take my Christmas List like a dressing room: you go in with 7, walk out with one. Plus, this is going out to at least 7 relatives.

Right now, I have…
a new flat iron (I have a Revlon that I’ve had for the past 3 years and its losing heat! haha).
Daisy or Lola by Marc Jacobs
A Bare Essentials Makeup Palette
A Poppy by Coach wristlet
A Dress Form

I’ve wanted a dress form for the past 5 years and I keep forgetting to put it on my Christmas List, but I remembered this year! Haha. My mom helped me come up with this much, so they arent unreasonable. I have a few pairs of Uggs and I live in SoCal, so I dont wear them too often. I don’t want to put clothes on the list because I’m asking for gift cards and when I do ask, I end up with some pretty outrageous stuff. Haha.

From my gifts.com list, I have
A robe from VS Pink
The Book of Naturally (Its like a spa pack)
A Roxy Handbag
A Betsey Johnson Barrel Bag
A PB Teen Makeup/ Desk Organizer
VS Pack of Travel Bags (I travel a lottttt… haha)
The Modern Girl’s Guide to Life (a book)
Gossip Girl Never Have I Ever Board Game (LOVE GG, but already have all the TV seasons on DVD and the books)
and Cargo Botanic Lipstick from Sephora

Like I said, I know it seems like a lot, but I don’t feel like it is. For those of you who don’t know what gifts.com is, I HIGHLY suggest you check it out whether you’re creating your own wishlist or trying to figure out what to get someone else. Go to http://www.gifts.com/finder.

Oh, and btw, please don’t say something like “Give some of that away” or “Christmas is time spent with your family, not a time for gifts” or “Give, dont receive” because a) Every year after Christmas (and after after-Christmas-shopping), I go through my closet and get rid of almost everything and give it away to different charities, b) I ALWAYS spend Christmas with my family. They ASK me to make a list!, and c) I give every year. All of my friends get gifts, all of my family get gifts, all of my pets get gifts, etc. I would never be selfish when it comes to Christmas. I am extremely religious and find it wayyy too offensive when someone says I’m selfish on Christmas.

Thanksssss!!!!!!!!!!

Closet organizer or Bureau?

December 16th, 2011
Mike asked:


I want to add more room to my bedroom and my bureau is currently a piece of crap… like literally falling apart… anyway, i’ve been told by different people different things; some people say that closet organizers are good because, well, it’s organized (duh!) and you can see all of your clothes in front of you, etc. but some people say they don’t like it and a bureau is better. i dont know!! which do you prefer (if you’ve had both/one). another thing, my closet is wide and tall, about as tall as a door (no i haven’t taken measurements.) but not very large in depth, is that alright? and where do you buy such things? thanks everyone!!!!!!
