So in your opinion, what would have been the right thing for Vogue to do here? Not feature her at all because she didn’t want to have her deformities photographed? Say, “Sorry, Linda, either we get to show all of that or you don’t get to be in our magazine?” Or should they have tried to pressure her during the…

eta: I would posit that this cover and the shoot within are a downright love letter to their friend Linda and if anyone would prefer a respectful take on this please visit the ladies at go fug yourself:

That’s what she wanted. She wanted the focus to be on the part of her body that she’s not self-conscious about. 

Oh Audra, you didn’t read the interview did you?

I see your point, there is some hypocrisy in the photo/ caption on the cover. But what’s more important is that Linda 1 didn’t want to be photographed ‘as she is’ and 2 wouldn’t have agreed to do the cover ‘as she is’. She’s a person with feelings. She isn’t here to be your ‘living embodiment’.

I believe the comment you replied to was being facetious. 

I would listen to this podcast mentioned in the article.  i’m swamped in podcasts but Bjork curating deep cuts from her archives and chirping arcanely about them is something I apparently need to hear. 

“Though she never names the That 70's Show star, you might recall that the former couple met when she was a mere 17 years old, and publicly began dating one year later. Valderrama is 12 years Lovato’s junior.”

if only there was an article beneath the headline that could elucidate this for you

I think having beer poured on you by your drunk husband in front of your kids is a deserving candidate for 'last straw'.

You are a sad little troll. 

Pursuit of all medical care requires making decisions. Get bent, you douche. 

What a brain dead comment. Do you think Dodai Stewart or Tracie Egan Morrissey or Jia Tolentino would have a different take?? Maybe CA Pinkham would have agreed with you but that's cold comfort

If you actually consider the tone of this article & the language used in it to be “stanning” in some way, your reading comprehension could use work.

“Does this all have shades of eugenics to anyone else?”

Yikes. The Musk sperminators make even Jack Donaghy and the Queen of Spain seem positively normal in comparison.

I hope you’re a member of Depp’s PR team or on his payroll. Because if you’re making this big of a fool of yourself for free? Oof.

You should be more embarrassed defending such trash. 

She was 14 he was 25. Are you fucking serious?

“she was a model”
