No she wasn’t invited to lecture — that implies that The Met invited her. According to the article, some dude named Andrew invited her for his own unofficial ‘tour’. Whether he invited her to arrive in full costume isn’t really spelled out. I don’t know where you got the idea that they had prior approval — this…

Tailypo
Yep, same concerns. Especially if he is wearing a garment that makes him four shoulder-widths across like an 18th century gown, regardless of the wearer’s grace. If your dress is a costume and it is four people wide at the hem and you haven’t given prior notice for institutional approval, then you are a nuisance.

I am so glad you got to have that as part of your childhood. It is such a great story. Uno! Ino! Cumptico-Calico! Here! Here! Here!
I think she is on here posing as her‘friend’ — unfortunately I already dismissed the comments but they were full of ‘Oh so this is the white privilege I have heard so much about? Where is my fancy car if white people are so privileged hmmmmmmmm? Really this SJW nonsense has to stop, you sound jealous...’ she sounds…
Oh my lord, I just dismissed a couple of keyed-up, enraged historical cosplayers! Who seem to think that the Appalachian folktale The Tailypo is Japanese? Because they keep calling me a weeaboo? THIS STORY IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING YOU GUYS.
I must wholeheartedly ‘Ugh’ this. It is awfully self-satisfied and entitled to think you can swan around in a garment that makes you take up an enormous amount of room and jeopardize collections and also lead a lot of people to think you work for the space. I think she is just a fancy asshole.
Check your local library to see if they subscribe to Alexander Street Press. If so, download (for free, because library) the collection called ‘Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order.’ And if your local library doesn’t have it, then tell them to wise up and order it, because they will be…
Greenlighted not greenlit? Oh my god you guys verb conjugation is so confusing someone has to help me understand this.
You are good at this game.
My husband used to be exactly like this. I can absolutely imagine the complaints (only in my husband’s voice) “Wait — your gift for me is that you decided we are going to go hiking on some unspecified date in the future? There isn’t even a gift certificate or a hotel reservation — this is just an idea? I bought you a…
John Krasinski should be stored in a box labeled DO NOT OPEN UNLESS FOR OFFICE REBOOT. I find him delightful in The Office and nauseatingly face-puncheable in absolutely everything else.
That is a very fair point.
Invalid — that is not a kitten heel.
Kitten heels are the worst shoes and make everyone look simultaneously matronly and sleazy. They ruin every outfit. And yeah yeah blah blah Audrey Hepburn blah. They are the worst. I first noticed this when I realized that they were largely responsible for why Kirstie Alley always looked awful before she hired her…
Willem Dafoe sat next to me in a restaurant with bench seating once and he was so tiny he looked like I could pick him up and put him in my pocket. He sat with his tiny little legs crossed and I marveled at how his two legs stacked on top of one another were like little pretzel sticks and that two Willem Dafoe legs do…
Hi Dory! LOVED you in Valley of the Dolls but hon, you need to stop posting.
When I tried venturing into Crock Pot Cult I ordered a book called 12-Hour Slow Cooker Recipes because I know that 12 hours is too damn long to cook most dishes unless they are specially selected and designed for the purpose, even on a very low temperature. The soups and stews were good and so were things like pulled…
I seem to have seen a completely different movie from the rest of the planet, because I saw a cliche-ridden potboiler about Mute Laura From the Glass Menagerie with her Gay Who Exists To Highlight The Sexual Awakening Of A Straight Lady (™) and Long Suffering Black Lady Friend(™) — only with magical realism and a sexy…
