The function he serves is fun. Enjoyment. Many, many people find him, his stories, his films, his books, his manner delightful. He makes people happy by simply being. If he’s not being himself, he’s being someone I enjoy very much. Authentically.

Jesus.

Had he shown up, no doubt I’d be so conflicted my hair would smolder. It’s the fact that he wasn’t asked. I don’t know much about Wintour, but I do know she radiates a calculating chilliness I can feel through the screen.

So you’re not really asking about his authenticity then, you’ve already got your mind made up that he’s not. Ok, fair enough, different strokes I guess. It does make me wonder who you feel actually is, though.

He was, in one of his books that I believe also cited a sibling. I find your skepticism deeply jaded, but then I have to remember that I didn’t grow up in the Internet era. If you ever saw a bunch of his early films years ago before the net, when they were truly shocking, you wouldn’t doubt. They were already a bit…

If you read anything at all about Waters earliest years you would know that he’s a genuine, dyed in the wool weirdo. As a small child he was obsessed with car crashes, lethal ones, as a means of amusing himself, to the point where he pestered his mother to take him to a car graveyard for him to play in while imagining…

A big dress-up party with a Camp theme and Waters wasn’t  even invited? That’s like a 4th of July party with no fireworks, a Xmas party with no booze, a thanksgiving dinner with no food. I had assumed he just skipped it due to Ms Wintour’s permanently glum condition.

Listening to him is bad enough, but to see his words in print is actually painful. How is it possible to be embarrassed for someone I hate so much?

I met Mr. Arthag at 32 and I don’t really count any of the previous boyfriends as legit for the simple fact that he’s the only one of them I saw a future with. The rest of them were Mr. Rightnows.

And all the terrible, awful, no good stuff that happened as a result of her publisher dumping her, was a result of her trying to get someone reprimanded. For eating lunch. If you’re going to go out of your way to ruin someone’s day for your own satisfaction, don’t do it in public. She’s the one who ruined her…

You’d get zero argument from me. ❤️ 

When I see pictures of this joint, all I can think of is a lottery winner who blew through all the money in less than a decade and filled his big gaudy house with shit like this and ended up living in a storage space with some of it after he was evicted and lost custody of his kids.

Yes, that and the whole sexy thing. Of all her “reinventions” I can’t remember any that weren’t based on hyper-sexuality, (there might be one, did I miss one?) and in part I think that’s what they are referencing when they bring up her age. It’s never overt, as in “can or should a female performer still be flogging…

Sure she does. Bono, Jon Bonjovi, Pat Benatar, Chrissy Hynde, Cindy Lauper, Elvis Costello, all alive. Certainly not as high profile, but contemporaries that are all still active. Madonna may be many things, but she’s not the only living mastodon to roam the earth.

Because they’re older?

Wow. That’s pretty vile.

Certainly plausible. He wasn’t incoherent though, just not funny.

Being an asshole does not automatically qualify one as a liar.

See Chevy Chase.

I’d first like to say that Kattan’s story may very well have merit, and he deserves to be heard as much as anyone else. The posts that imply he’s not hot enough to be harassed/used sexually are ridiculous and exactly the kind of bullshit Jez readers would tear to pieces if the genders were reversed. However, I saw…
