Gelled baby hairs and braids is not the same 'do as "I just came back from the Dominican Republic" hair that every single white girl had in sophomore year of high school.

I was going to comment similarly. It's similar to the big black dick legend, we don't need to say it isn't true to decry the stereotype.

A lot of them are really thin, and it's apparent that it's often just a journalists talking point. I'd rather criticize her for treading super fucking hard on Gwen's very tired schtick. Though, the I Kissed a Girl criticisms seem fair to me. Maybe she did kiss a girl, it's not an appropriation, she's writing from the…

Every quote I read from Lorde raises my respect for her immensely, not least this one and one I read lately that was scathingly critical of Lana Del Rey's image.

A group of friends had a very interesting discussion about that Royals controversy. The thread of agreement at the end was A) that hip hop culture truly has…

Am I out on a limb for finding the whole "Relationship Crushing Affair" publicity thread of Bey-Z's marriage to be disturbingly sexist? Casting Beyonce as a jilted victimized wife and Jay as a cavalier alpha man is pretty ungenerous to both sexes.

I find myself thinking there's a pressure on those who have been…

Tyrion Lannister also did this! The exact same thing.

Really good assessment. I just lately had an embarrassingly heated conversation where I argued to my friend that Single Ladies was Beyonce's breakout turnaround most significant career moment, whereas he thinks Crazy in Love was because it was her huge breakout solo hit. I'm of the same mind with you. Her…

They use their marriage, it's a huge part of their identities as celebrities, but we don't know shit about their marriage. Knowing what her wedding dress looked like and photo opportunity moments where they pose as a couple reveal nothing about their actual lives.

And how unbeautiful her sister became rather before old age. If there's one major advertisement for the outward signs of the trashing of your body that smoking inflicts, it's QE and Princess Margaret.

Not that it contributes to inbreeding, but it's interesting to note because it's totally not acknowledged that Charles and Camilla share a great-grandfather. Camilla's granny was Edward VII illegitimate child.

I just want Patrick Crawley to come back, turn over the whole cart and carry off Edith and her dumpster baby. If that blip in season 2 was the only thing we'll ever hear of P.Gordon/Crawley and he was in fact a fraud, then I've lost the last shred of respect I had for Julian Fellowes writing. That was the only…

Agreed, there have been a few short insignificant scenes with Rosamund and the Dow-Cou which were among the sharpest in the series, simply because those two actors are electric.

I will still watch the shit out of it until it's dead, but damn I wish Downton were a good show. It so could be. It has actors, production values, an audience, wide open material, and yet it's just these plodding unfortunate story arcs (either it's something interesting that last one episode [When is P.Crawley going…

It's pretty surprising Madonna tolerates him but more surprising that Madonna hasn't brought any attention to that subsequently. Perhaps she is a lot more genuine than she seems (and I don't mean this as callousness toward victims, only callousness toward Madonna) or it would be sincerely painful for her, but being an…

I'm not like lusting over him, but he does have an extremely strong face and jaw. Lately I've come to think that Harry the infamous Hot Ginge won't age half as well. While not to be described as handsome, I also think Prince Charles has really grown into a distinguished and nice looking old fellow.

It would be pretty damn cool if she did something groundbreaking like publishing and releasing all her subsequent books herself, for free. For the dual purpose of encouraging reading and taking away as few sales from struggling writers as possible.

I sorta wish she would write something in the world of wizardry that has absolutely nothing to do with Harry Potter or a prequel relating to the storylines in HP. Perhaps a faaar-removed prequel, like Hogwarts in the 1910s, or something. Totally new, but familiar. Though, aside from the cars, her storyline is very…

I would gladly accept that and agree never to mention this again. I feel a bit "bad" (or just torn between my righteousness and understanding) because I totally get that feeling of shame and I've done some low-level dishonest things in my past. Anyway, I've gone away for a few weeks now so hopefully when I get back it…

Do we know his father is not? Genuinely asking, because the other article on Jezebel that painted him as unsupportive was absurd. It claimed he said something like "don't call her my son" when really he said "don't start that question by saying my daughter is becoming my son." Which is, really, completely, totally not…

I appreciate your concern a lot, thanks! Honestly the biggest annoyance is that I hate misplacing anything. Losing stuff annoys me so much. As it is I'm going on vacation so I'll probably forget about it, but I expect I'll damn well notice if the beers I'm leaving in the fridge are there upon my return.
