Gender power dynamics don’t exist in a vacuum, just like racism doesn’t (Kanye’a Runaway video and the white servants stand out in my mind). When women are objectified by men, it’s done from a place of power and control, (due to history, current laws, mainstream perceptions). However, when women do it to men, it in…

The EW always does post-mortem interviews with the actors, and the actress who played Nymeria made an excellent point about negative reactions toward the Sand Snakes. They were introduced together, and each had 1-2 lines to introduce themselves, pretty late in the series, creating these 1 dimensional characters. Like,…

There was an article in Scientific American about Charlie and the gene therapy treatment. It’s been used on people with a similar mitochondrial deficiency, but Charlie’a mutation is on a different chromosome. There are only 18 reported cases of it. So, the doctor from Columbia Med who is doing this research is going…

I mean, it’s a TV show that I could take or leave, but I watch it because 1) the sex scenes aren’t done through the male gaze and 2) it’s MY show. My husband and I watch most of the good ones together (Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, Walking Dead, Fargo, Silicon Valley), so if he’s out with the lads, Outlander is…

I married an Englishman and have lived abroad, full-time, for 5 years. I have a theory on the appeal of Americans to the English: we’re friendly and loud, and any Englishman worth dating is polite but socially reserved (lads don’t count). However, they *know* we love their accents above all other physical attributes.…

This will show my age, but wasn’t there a woman on The Real World: New Orleans who was kicked out of BYU for living with men?

When we were 15, a friend and I rewound 5 seconds of Jurassic Park 3 over and over to watch “Billy” (I don’t know thr actor’s name) kick-in the vending machine.

I’m in a Twitter fight about Pratt’a comments right now. A woman said it was sad we have to go all the way back to Flashdance for a good blue collar flick. I named 8, but apparently they were the right kind. Maid in Manhattan counts, yo.

Same here. I’m always flying Korean, EVA, or Asiana (4+ hours) or Air Asia (<4 hours). I flew Qatar once, with an 8 month old for 20 hours) and it was otherworldly.

“When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. . .When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before.”

It’s like “There She Goes.” It’s about Heroin, and yet, movies play it when a woman in a big city gets a new career.

The outfits and seeing herself “reliving” something (or, I guess dead in the river) might mean this is just her narrative — part of Ford’s story. Like, if her parents are killed and she doesn’t get raped and/ or killed, then it’s written for her to runaway to the nearest guest.

It’s compelling because everyone is convinced it’s William, but the glaring oversight there is Logan has brown eyes, William and MiB have blue.

How about classic navy or herringbone? $250

Brangelina truther: this news broke the day after Radar Online published they know a world famous family man who is the kingpin of a Hollywood paedophilia ring.

The point is to not guess or make assumptions at all. The reason why I get offended when people think I’m Thai (I’m Cambodian) isn’t because of a historic political and geographic rivalry, it’s because I haven’t explicitly told them my ethnicity. It’s like they can’t continue talking to me until they confirm a…

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Frank’s Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.

I recently switched to Apoterra’s activated charcoal wash (http://ww w.apoterraskincare.com/) after years of loyalty to Neutrogena salicylic acid cleanser. Yeah, it’s more expensive, but paired with the Neroli Cleanser and Clean & Clear’s salicylic acid moisturizer, it cleared everything up (acne, blackheads). It’s a…

Bringing up Lagerfeld’s treatment of women, while bad, doesn’t discredit my point about his recognizable style. How about Iris Aphel? Vivienne Westwood? David Bowie?

In your comments, it seems you’re equating “being an icon” with “wearing stuff that’s flattering.” It’s not. It’s wearing whatever you want and getting…

I’m not an Anna Wintour sympathizer or anything, but “icon” status requires a uniform, like Kurt Lagerfeld, which transcends current trends and is easily recognizable as that person’s individual style. Most people would look ridiculous with Wintour’s or Lagerfeld’s style, but they have “give no fucks” attitudes. The…
