I agree with you re the perception, but I consider it my bounden duty to offer the correction anyway, because even with Kadooment itself, there’s always been a thing to at least try to make it somewhat distinctive by intentionally not calling it a carnival, you know? Even if it was just Kadooment, Kadooment still…

Oh, you’re in/from Guyana! That’s where I live now. Every year I cuss myself that I didn’t make the trip home for Kadooment. I promise myself that next year it won’t catch me in Georgetown again.

I want to go next year too! Jezzie Kadooment meet-up?

I don’t know that it’s considered Carnival. I mean, obviously it shares a lot of characteristics with Carnival celebrations, but as a Bajan I’ve never considered it a Carnival, and our cultural authorities and players have been quite careful over the years to avoid branding Crop Over as a Carnival, but rather as a…

The Crop Over Festival is absolutely not “aka Carnival”. Other Caribbean countries (most famously Trinidad and Tobago) have Carnival. Barbados does not have Carnival. Crop Over is a season of celebration that lasts about 10 weeks and culminates with the Kadooment Day parade, which is what is pictured here. None of it…

If by blow-out you means weave, yeah. It is a gorgeous colour, though; as is yours, I’m sure.

Did you actually watch the video? It looks stupid because it’s supposed to. That’s the point; the video was poking fun at the whole strobing look/phenomenon. That’s why it’s my favourite.

Oh, does it?

Strobing, that’s the new thing now. Strobing. Here’s my favourite strobing video.

Yup. Christy Turlington is one of my favourite models, although the resemblance didn’t come to mind until I saw the thread here, which was a while after I’d seen the photo elsewhere. I think there were a few things about her that stood out to me on this cover: one was her hair, obvs. The other was that she doesn’t…

Lineisy (on the right) is my favourite. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so entranced by a model’s face. And she’s on the cover of Teen Vogue with her darling little afro. Oh, I love that. Came across this article from the Guardian about her causing a stir on the runways in Milan and Paris with that afro: http:…

Ah, maybe that’s part of why she’s my favourite face on this cover (that and her lovely teeny weeny afro)! Christy is one of my very fave supermodel looks-wise. Lineisy Montero also has the Christy thing where a smile transforms her face from unearthly beautiful to down-to-earth cute (see photographic evidence). She…

Well, helloooooo gentlemen! (Not you, Young Baller, you sit down.)

I believe that humormous is a portmanteau word: huge + enormous = humormous.

I flipped through a couple of pages of this in a book store a couple of months ago. It is really quite precious, but what I liked about it, based on that quick first impression, was that it wasn’t necessarily just about organisational tips and what kind of storage tubs to buy from the Container Store, it was about…

I much prefer "whited sepulchres" too, and the KJV was the version I learned in school. But I decided on the one with simpler (but less striking) language for ease of understanding.

This seems apt:

OMG, I wanted to post about that, but was worried that I would come off as pervy and weird, but yes! I love her body in general in this video and the way it's clearly different post-baby, but still gorgeous, and the jiggle just... It's like, yeah, this is a real body and it shakes and it jiggles and it's awesome and…

I don't know that it's the hair that's making her look like an alien in that pic, though. Her face just looks... weird. And those eyelashes! The whole photo is uncomfortable for me to look at, yet I can't stop scrolling back up to look at it.

I remember reading an interview with John Mayer (I think it was from Rolling Stone, but earlier than the one quoted in the article) where he talked about wanting a wife who would be understanding about his life on the road and would make hot dogs to take to their kids' Little League games or some shit like that... It…
