You know, I think it's a delicate dance. Some people are comfortable talking about it, some people aren't.

While I don't agree that it's problematic (because that would presuppose that close-ups of women of color in black and white for cover shots are inherently a problem), I DO think that yes, it stirs up a lot of interesting conversation!

I disagree, love!

Why is the black and white cover racial?

You know what I LOVE about this cover? It has me immediately focus on Mindy Kaling as a WOMAN and not a mannequin. This is a cover that has me taking her way more seriously as a writer, entertainer and artist than the standard super airbrushed (size 2 or no size 2!) full body shot where she's wearing the latest Dior…

"I sometimes worry that we're all so connected, we're becoming disconnected..."

Why would you want to be that person?

I would love to see Morrissey starring in an unironic, explicit PETA Campaign of Aggressive Judgment.

This advice will not work for most women.

I think in general the response in the comments section supports the point I was attempting to unsuccessfully make: the more aggressive one gets defending a certain stance, the less likely the other side is going to listen — which is sad, because there might be something in there worth listening to.

Please read my above comment! :)

As does every choice you make as a human being.

I think when things get heated, both sides sound like they are spewing propaganda.

Advice for Rich Girl? Focus on the relationship, while being mindful of things that cost money.

That's so strange, because that's exactly what I LOVED about how the jumpsuit finished. Scalloped lace over skin, so that you can really see the detail in the lace pattern with a demure shot of flesh showing through.

There are cap sleeves on the violet bridesmaid dress and on one of the wedding dress.

Still stand by my stance on professional cooks cooking in the home, but yarp, yarp — the baiting and switching is a major downer! It's like he showed you his goodies, then hit the snooze button as soon as it was too late for you to uncommit to him.

Same here. I'm all about pulling equal or equitable weight when it comes to domestic duties, but I give professional cooks a pass when it comes to cooking meals for the fam. And am SUPER duper appreciative the once in a blue moon they decide to pitch in for a Thanksgiving or holiday meal.

ERMAGERD!!! Okay, so I work in the food industry and generally professional chefs do not cook at home on a regular basis. They slave away in the kitchen anywhere between 8-16 hours a day, so the last thing they'd want to do when they have some time off is cook in the kitchen.

Lindy — I love you as both a person and a writer. But I'm not sure if this piece was presented in the most effective way possible. I think what gets in the way is that there's a lot of nuance and tone that can't be accurately described to people who weren't there.
