Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am trying to figure out if the pink sparkly guitar is a better option that the regular kind:

or

I do think the thinner body/narrow neck will be better for my hands/reach. THIS IS SO EXCITING! And intimidating.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go for it, Allyson! My DH took up guitar at age 44, and it makes him SO HAPPY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think the pink sparkly one works, Allyson. Isn't it designed for girls, who aren't musicians, QED and shit?

You're going to need to strap those breasts down, stuff a cucumber in your pants, and buy a black guitar with red flames on it.

I vote pink and sparkly! (Of course I do!)

So cool! I keep thinking I want to learn to play bass, but I know I don't have the free time or money for another hobby.

I read the Rookie article on how to buy a guitar and thought, "I always wanted to learn how to play...um, I can still do that. It's not like I'm trying to learn to be an olympic gymnast, I just want to learn a few chords."

I have a coworker who is a guitar teacher, so I've got lessons lined up, and a friend who's a pro musician taking me to guitar center to help me make the purchase.

I had a bass when I was a kid, Jilli. I learned a little, but thought if I couldn't just pick it up and play like a pro then I didn't have any talent and it wasn't worth it. Because I was 12 and weird. So yeah, learning new skills is hard and requires practice. Who knew?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like you've got everything lined up, Allyson. Awesome!

Rolling Stone just printed its list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time, and there are only two women on it: Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell.

I guess internet guy was right!

I knew it was demonstrandum! I just knew it!

Unrelatedly, I thought I wanted this, but apparently it doesn't really hurt, so I'm less interested now.

You guys, A&E is crazy. I accidentally got sucked into a Storage Wars marathon, about people buying abandoned storage units for their thrift stores, and half of the ads are for "Lady Hoggers," which is apparently about actual hogs, and I'm not sure why.
