Former figure skater here. I LOVE THEM!

FWIW, I loved the beginning, with the Cyrillic alphabet and each letter representing a composer/writer or special achievement. That was a lovely way of representing the wealth of Russian culture.

Yes, the coverage of the Olympics so far has left a very bad taste in my mouth - and this is just day one! It feels so damn petty. Of course, the corruption, the violation of human rights etc, are unforgivable and cannot be ignored... but the rest? Seriously?

Yeah.... no, not really. She was definitely marketed as such, but let's be seriously here, she was never even close to being a rockstar. Pies Descalzos and ¿Dónde están los ladrones? could have been written by Taylor Swift. She went for a more pop-dance sound when she started singing in English, but make no mistake,…

Thanks for sharing this perspective. Sorry to hear about your cousin - that's truly awful. Much love to you and your family.

Well, according to The Guardian, the Kerchers welcome this result. Also, they don't really feel like talking to Amanda or ever reading her letter. Basically, they are the biggest Knox Guilters out there...

Oh yes, Sweden is in grave danger. Thank God the US is around to protect them from those evil neighbours of theirs: Finland! Norway! Denmark! The Baltic countries! Poland!

Yawn.

Please, stop talking about Mexican culture if you know nothing about it. It is not comparabale to being Hindu or to being black in the US. Mexico has had over 500 years of deep cultural and racial mixing. Being Mexican means being mixed. Mexican food, Mexican music, Mexican Spanish, Mexican arts are both Indian and…

Oh, but this is completely different thing, IMO. The American notion of "Latino/a" and being latinoamericano/a are two very very different things...

Bump, bump, bumping your comment! You should be right at the top!

You know what? I am firmly in the camp that thinks Kanye is cray-cray. I was expecting another deluded rant of his, but even I have to admit that he is spot on about this.
