Not surprising. Their aesthetic is "old eccentric woman." It's done them well.

The joke doesn't have much punch because the photos aren't that good. Funny idea, not-so-great execution.

Very true! Here's hoping! These new hires are a step in the right direction.

What sucks is that SNL bungled her hiring so much that it may seem like, out of desperation, they hired the first Black woman who walked into the SNL offices. But she is a seasoned comedic performer with many TV credits under her belt. I hope people give her a fair shake despite Lorne Micheal's terrible (read:…

Sasheer is a hilarious comedienne who I've had the pleasure of seeing do stand-up a couple times in NYC. Until bow she was part of 2 improv troupes at Upright's Citizen's Brigade (a breeding ground of SNL talent along with Second City and the Groundlings) performing short and long-form improv at UCB twice a week, and…

The problem is that, quite frankly, her latest books have been quite bad. Not bad because they are "chick lit" or "commercial fiction" or whatever the genre is called. Bad because it's bad writing. And terrible editing. About three weeks ago I read "The Next Best Thing" on a recommendation from a friend because…

I think Mindy Kaling writes the character Mindy Lahiri as a sorta-kinda veiled version of herself (hence them both having the same first name, both growing up in a suburbs of Boston, both going to Ivy League undergrads, etc.). She seems pretty confident in interviews she gives, in her book, and on her Twitter, so I…

Would be a cute dress without the sleeves.

Nope, as someone who follows her on Twitter, I think she's really that confident. In her show (and in life) she's Ivy League-educated, attractive, has a loving family, good friends, is highly successful (on the show as a doctor, IRL as a writer-exec producer-actor-showrunner of a show named after her on a broadcast…

"Curves" have just become a euphemism for "not rail thin." It used to mean a woman with an hourglass shape ("curves" denoting the curves of breasts and hips/ass) but now it just means anyone who's not skinny. As someone who loves language and words, that use irks me. If you mean "not skinny" just say "not…

What part of the phrase "Black Love" is confusing? It pretty clearly means "Black people in love." I don't get the question...

I think this ties in nicely to the "scandal" around Mindy on the cover of Elle. For some reason lots of people jump to the assumption that the big bad fashion empire is trying the sheild our eyes from women like Melissa McCarthy and Mindy, when, it's just as likely that these grown-ass, powerful, amazing women (and…

Who cares?

All the women are gorgeous. Why the need to be so snarky about women's bodies?

The way some people want to make powerful, badass, incredible women like Mindy and Melissa McCarthy victims is upsetting to me. These women are POWERHOUSES, not wilting flowers. They aren't going to let some fashion mag treat them poorly and wait for the internet to "save" them. Come on. Especially since both MM…

A celeb's team gets to approve a group of photos from which a cover shoot may be chosen. A celeb is very, very rarely surprised when it comes to their image. It is highly controlled.

It's hard to get all bent out of shape when she has the most glamorous and striking of all the covers (Amy's is a close second in my book).

If he told me his favorite movie was Titanic I'd make fun of him to my girlfriends as well. And if I were to tell people that Katy Perry is my favorite musician they'd likely have a hearty chuckle. So what?

What is it about someone's kinks that it can't be questioned or teased? Why is a kink so sacrosanct? I am genuinely asking. I would never tease anyone about their weight, height, religion, sexual orientation, or race but that guy who wanted me to call him the N word during sex, I certainly had a chuckle about that…

Says the person with the reading comprehension of a gnat.
