If it’s her style fine, I suppose (because she’s always been about the ashy gray background)... but lighting and non-white people is a thing that needs to be a discussion amongst professionals and within the places that train the up and comers and re-train the established but under-experienced (because honestly: if…

While you have a point, I’ll counter with an admittedly imperfect analogy: why was Rosa Parks never styled EVER with the Angela Davis ‘fro in Black Panther leather and a turtleneck? Similar personality, similar devotion to speaking (not screaming) the truth to power...

I don’t doubt that you are correct that dark skinned models are rarely photographed in the ways you describe.

I saw a tweet that showed the difference between how Annie shot Denzel and Viola in VF for Fences, and how Dario shot Viola above. It’s fucking night and day. Leibovitz makes Denzel and Viola look ashy, with gray tones. The Dario cover is rich, with a lot of subtle luminescence.

Even this pic of Viola, though taken by a Black photog, stays on theme: darkness for dark.

I toldj’all about Annie Leibovitz just a few months ago. It’s not JUST that as a renowned photog she’s got decades of experience and is regaled as an ‘innovator’ or that she’s old-fashioned and not up on new shit. And it’s not about her ‘style’ being dark and moody. Cause she does whimsical, floral, fairy fantasy…

Then we’re going to get commentary on how Leibowitz weeds out Black subjects and only photographs the lily-White. “Preeeeety convenient how her ‘dark, arty style’ only works with Whites...”

To some extent, amateurs are highly able to detect problems in art, just awful at identifying and diagnosing it.

I just found out yesterday that Jennifer Grey and Clark Gregg (you may think of him as Agent Coulson but I always think of him as Old Christine’s ex-husband) separated after 19 years of marriage and it made me a little sad. I don’t know why. I mean, 19 years between actor/celebrities is like 100 years in regular…

He’s an actor that I grew up with being a fan of. Even though I was young, I have remembered most of his wild antics over the years. He may have come off as a bad boy heart throb in the beginning but has slowly (at least in my mind ) turned into that dirty drunk uncle that you feel uncomfortable to be around. I can’t…

I find him unwatchable because I can’t ever take him seriously in any role anymore. He just always looks and acts so ridiculous 

Thin Chalk Line is an amazing phrase. Teacher’s union are huge and that definitely stands for something if they never backed her. Unfortunately Police Unions will never do this since they’ve been intimated to stand behind the Thin Blue Line. Good cops are railroaded off the force all the time when the speak up against…

So I’m sure they will show up, so what is up with the weirdly passionate Depp defenders that show up in every comments section?

Yes this absolutely happened. Also Bethenny said that Tinsley deserved a free gift because she doesn’t have any children.

He’s a DJ and up until last year when they broke up you’d see advertisements for them in clubs around the Seattle/Tacoma area. So disgusting - I hope he gets the counselling and deals with the trauma she caused him and their kids.

I thought the conversation had changed but every other headline I saw about this, including CNN, used words like “affair” and “relationship” instead of rape. Sickening and so disappointing.

Because Donald J. Trump is her husband?

Here’s some tea: this book has already shipped. It’s out there, sitting in back rooms, waiting to be unpacked and sold. It, like Bolton’s book, won’t be stopped. Nor will the tell-all from Melania’s former bestie that’s coming out.

I agree! It sucks I have to write like that to avoid getting sued for libel, and I wish I could comfortably use different language!

Why is the language in the headline so weirdly passive? It feels like whoever wrote it took pains to avoid saying “driver killed protester” or “driver murdered protester”. Even if you have to throw an “allegedly” in there, that seems like a more accurate way to describe what happened. This almost makes it sound like…
