Modeling and sex work are not the same thing. Women and men have been posing nude for paintings, sculptures, and photography for hundreds of years. Highly-respected models pose nude all of the time. It's art. There are college courses and museums dedicated to it. If a model responds to a call for nude modeling, she is…

Are we seriously going to have this conversation? Really? Because he is incredibly powerful and they want to further their careers. Because their agency sends them there. Because modeling is an incredibly difficult industry and some people don't have the luxury of turning down paid work. Because they haven't heard or…

Hooray! Here's a clip for anyone who cares. Sorry it isn't embedded. https://www.google.com/search?q=jenna…

Am I correct in assuming your username is a 30 Rock reference? That plus your comment would make you my favorite person of the day.

Then why do all his pictures look exactly the same? Why do all of the models' accounts match up with each other? It sounds pretty systematic to me.

I guess that makes sense, but it still just seems so insane to me that the courts are even willing to entertain this ridiculous case. We don't live in a theocracy!

Yeah, no. They actually don't. Cosmo is for teenage girls who know absolutely nothing about sex. Seventeen is for 13-15 year old girls and so on down the line. The last time anyone I know read Cosmo, it was at a high school sleepover, giggling over the sex tips.

Can anyone explain to me how this doesn't go against HIPAA? It seems to me that allowing your employer a say in your healthcare is an extreme violation of privacy, but maybe I just don't understand the law.

This is so, so terrible. I'm sorry this happened to you. My sister began her way out of the church when her awful best friend told all the other Laurels (girls at church) that she was sleeping with her boyfriend. Suddenly no one will sit next to her or talk to her. It's such a betrayal when the people who are supposed…

Am I reading this wrong, or did they just invent an insane conspiracy theory and pull suspects out of thin air?

Ha! Your husband sounds exactly like mine. Sometimes it's kind of an ego boost to think, "Wow, this person hates everyone in the world, except me. Am I really that cool?"

As I white person, I sometimes have trouble understanding where people are coming from when stuff like this arises. This link I am sharing is the best explanation I have ever read on appropriation, and really helped me get it. The post is about a white woman wearing an afro wig, but I still think it applies. The…

My immigrant grandmother got married in a navy blue skirt suit with a pillbox hat. Though I could never wear it because she is a tiny Italian nymph and I am a huge, half-American amazon.

Yes, but David's Bridal is the devil incarnate. Seriously, have you ever bought anything from there? They are a total nightmare factory.

Another Mormon lady over here. I'm not pushing for priesthood ordination, but I do think this current conversation is healthy and necessary. Just chiming in to say I loved your comment and hope that people on both sides of the debate are treating you well. Recently I expressed a very small criticism about that Tad…

Was I really the only one who liked the episode? I've been getting fed up with Scandal lately, but last night I got sucked right back in. I loved the flashbacks for fleshing out what went wrong in Fitz and Mellie's relationship. I loved Olivia's rant at the beginning and how she seems to be seeing how toxic her…

Agreed on both. I loved Winona and was sad when Raylan messed things up yet AGAIN. That means we won't see her anymore! Ava is hard core. I think her total transformation was a bit out of character, but I love it anyway.

They do it in The Mindy Project and Sherlock, so it may not be directly taken from HOC.

I couldn't watch it any longer because it was too ridiculous. After reading your comment I looked up some spoilers, and I am soooooo pissed. No wonder that tweet of hers sounded so bitter.

Only one girl in our studio ever entered, and I suspect it was due to her terrible stage mother who forced her to be in things like the Miss Christian Teen Pageant. The girl was forever faking injuries to get out of things, but the mom wouldn't let up. Once we were in a parade to fundraise for a trip to Washington,…
