I found this article that does a pretty good job of explaining it: http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/27/liv….

Not only that, I found out Southern food is called soul food in the North when I moved to the East Coast. Where I'm from, it's everybody food, including baked mac n' cheese, fried chicken and biscuits. My mom grandmother and aunts all cooked Southern food, which this white girl just calls dinner. I do recognize…

Haha I didn't catch that, but you're probably right.

I know, but I'm saying it anyway.

SPOT ON. Jezebel, give NinjaCate a job, please.

She cannot twerk, obviously. She's an awkward dancer in general.

Google 'how to twerk.'

Also 1996 called and wants its hairstyle back.

LOL. This. She took a birth of Venus reference and wrapped it in cornball, which that's her goal, duh. She dressed as a yolk coming out of an eggshell before. Lady Gaga is cornball personified, as she chose to be. These are deliberate aesthetic choices. I'm more meh about the whole thing, because it's not especially…

Wasn't it a direct nod to his music video where they use 'prurient' props? There's enough blame to go around for everyone if we're going to clutch pearls. Personally, I felt the having black women as props was the most egregiously wrong part and Miley's an annoying try hard.

Whoa. That's a crazy rabbit hole I just fell down.

Thanks and likewise :) I think you and I fundamentally agree on her overall. I will say that she is entirely mainstream, and that's kind of her point. Campbell's soup cans were mainstream and boring until they were elevated, so it's kind of the reverse here in that she is taking high art concepts and rather badly…

I guess my point is I got what Gaga was saying, but I don't necessarily agree with her. She's self-possessed and if she wants to live as art — as you say, let it speak for itself. I think the canvas down her throat is a metaphor. If you think of Bieber, Katy Perry, etc, they aren't trying to infuse any high art…

If I may take a stab at this: Warhol elevated pop icons/items and made them high art; what she's saying is she wants to take high art and fuse it with pop (herself.) In a way, the opposite of what he did. She essentially wants to fuse performance art and pop culture using herself as the conduit. That way she is a…

Thank you. It is phenomenal. And it highlights there is always more work to be done to dismantle discrimination.

I wear makeup about 30% of the time, mostly because I don't treasure the ritual. Sometimes I think it's fun, but most of the time I view it as a chore. If I'm not feeling it, I don't wear it. I do have purple circles and pale pink skin, so people ask me if I'm sick when I don't wear concealer and foundation. That…

It's not a Southern thing, but you do you, Texas, you sparkly diamond.

Thank you. No one tied him down and forced him to star in Twilight. /eyeroll at him

I'd check-in to a confession booth (I'm not Catholic,) then Planned Parenthood, a titty bar, and a Burlington Coat Factory for funsies. Maybe a Chipotle for good measure.

LOL +1 as they say on Deadspin.
