I don’t understand how these things work — how there is a relaunched House of Schiaparelli forty years after the woman died — but I am glad to learn of it nonetheless!

I hope this happened at Shelley Long’s insistence because Mike Schur was eager to write her into The Good Place so we could get the tv show that we don’t deserve but we all need right now.

And here she is with Rudy Valentino, beautifully illustrating what you look like when you are thinking about fucking Rudy Valentino right here under this tree:

Is Tilda’s jacket an Elsa Schiaparelli reproduction (or vintage original?) those hand closures are very Schiap. And now I can’t stop thinking about Schiaparelli buttons and giggling.

Who can say? Because the author didn’t bother to specify/find out. Was he trying to take her shoes off? Stepping on her feet? Rubbing her feet with his feet? Was he just repeatedly kicking her feet but the story was picked up by somebody looking for larfs so they called it ‘footsie’? This ‘article’ is garbage.

also I regret to inform you that your husband is dumb.

How am I supposed to pay attention to all the work I am supposed to be doing when I want to write a massive treatise about the MC5, proto-punk, ‘heavy metal’, Detroit, and the unsung subgroup of Sixties/Seventies music that should be called “nihilist psychedelia” and how all the best bands grew out of it?

I have been thinking about this a lot — I figured this was going to be her defense. How white people (myself included) are so friggin’ blind to the fact that we are constitutionally unable to say, “Hey I apologize, I left the door open which now puts us in an awkward moment — we haven’t met and I am not supposed to…

Truly. Whatever you are picturing, Clara’s Heart was worse than that.

Uh, I am old enough to remember Clara’s Heart. Harris was a little kid. If she said anything about having sex with him, she was being fucking gross.

Equality Stafford stressed that the blame and confusion lied with the county, not the teachers.

I honestly cannot believe they still allow girls to dress like that.

This isn’t about school uniforms — if it were, they could replace the skirt with trousers. This is a reason to smash the patriarchy and eradicate rape culture. The value of school uniforms can be debated. The value of patriarchy and rape culture can’t.

Yes! Although ‘The Man That Got Away’ from Judy’s Star Is Born is even better, Babs is the one who has been rattling around in my head ever since this newest movie version was announced.

I can’t possibly read all of this after seeing the words A Star Is Born because now I have to sing ‘The Woman in the Moon’ at the top of my lungs for the next hour, while pretending to be wearing either a denim jumpsuit, suspenders, or a tank top with no bra and Bedazzled bell bottoms.

Even I — the most easily annoyed person I know — cannot muster any reaction beyond meh/yawn to any of this. He sounds exactly as silly as everyone who has ever talked about making their first movie.

ALL THE POINTS for referencing a great book, an early winner of the Coretta Scott King Award! And even though you are a few days late for Banned Book Week, I am going to pretend that is totally why you picked it, since it was frequently banned (and possibly still is). Enormous hooray for you!

You have voiced exactly why I don’t trust that goddamn Debbie Harry. When you are a fifty-ish punk rock lady, voicing this opinion is like saying you think puppies are assholes. But I stand by it, and I will fight all of you!
