Craniofacial growth patterns in mouse models for Apert syndrome. Apert syndrome is caused by two neighboring mutations on Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). Multimodal imaging and segmentation was used to visualize and quantitate overall morphology of soft tissues (gray), skull (yellow), inner ear (purple), nasopharynx (pink) and globe of the eye (green) in Fgfr2+/S252W Apert syndrome mice and Fgfr2+/P253R Apert syndrome mice at embryonic day 17.5 (E17.5) (left) and on the day of birth (P0) (right) (Fgfr2+/S252W mice are shown).

I got to thinking about this after listening to Lizzo’s Good as Hell on repeat for 2,467 hours. In it she says, “I do my hair toss, check my nails, baby how you feeling? Feeling good as hell.” Oh, yeah. When my hair is done, and my nails are nice, I definitely feel more together. 😊 Other things that help me feel like I have some control over life: plucked brows and a waxed ‘stash, wearing ironed clothes/clothing that isn’t wrinkled, tamed cowlicks, and curled lashes coated with mascara!

And for more heat-less hair styles for the dog days of summer, check out… Day 1: The Woven Wonder Peep these summery wavy-waves, kitty cat! — that is, if you can get past that luscious lip.

Unlike the waves at Waikiki Beach, where, I kid you not, it takes me 15 minutes to paddle out to the surf lineup with my noodle arms on a massive...

You know what? I like my job. The last thing I want to do is disappoint my boss (you may have heard of him — Tabs the cat, world-renowned kitty supermodel), but he’s going to be woefully disappointed when he finds out that, if I were given the chance to be a queen supreme, as in the name of the new MAC Girls Palette, Qween Supreme (yes, it’s spelled that way), but the job required me to wear a crown, I would not be able to rock that thing 24/7. Sorry, Tabs! I mean, I’d wear it to take pics...

You sometimes (translated = ALL THE TIME) find yourself going to the bathroom with the door open, and you have absolutely no qualms about relieving yourself in front of anyone anymore. You can carry on three simultaneous conversations while washing dishes, making dinner and planning out the next few steps on your conquest/world domination plan. You sneak in a cat nap during every single movie you go to, even the ones with your kid (or kids). It doesn’t even matter if it’s the most stressful, intense movie that’s ever been made, either. If you’re in a dark room in the...
