Policing cultural appropriation on an interpersonal level like this ALWAYS requires policing somebody else's ethic identity—and that's just plain gross. "Are his eyes slanty enough to get away with that tattoo?" "Are her features negroid enough to warrant those corn rows?" "She doesn't look brown enough to wear that

Those are control issues. You need to learn to let go. You can't control other people and you'll only serve to stress yourself out. You can recognize when you're having a control issue if the word "should" is part of your thoughts, such as: "They shouldn't wear my favorite band T-shirt."

Get. Over. It. Wearing clothing and accessories inspired by a culture does not automatically debase that culture. It's a fundamentally neutral act.

thanks so much for posting this on jez! i'm a proud aussie girl and SO proud of our amazing female singers putting their talents on show for such a worthy cause.

I'll admit, when I first saw the headline, my heart sank a bit because "I Touch Myself" was such a raunchy song for its time, essentially an ode to female masturbation. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I was hard-pressed to connect the dots to breast cancer awareness.

Her problem is that she's a "princess" who was never told "no" and never required to take responsibility for her actions.

Don't you DARE say that about Phoebe

78 hours a week is "a few"?

Can't cook? I'll have you know that Amy personally opens each can of ravioli herself!

Oh, you have to make it the same shelf-stable gnocchi they use so when Sammy yells "That's not our food!" you can point to the package and say "Yeah it is."

The internet buzz was that they purchased the baking from elsewhere. There were no baking facilities that we saw in their kitchen and the show suspiciously spent zero time talking about it, so I don't think she makes them. How could she possibly have time to bake that many cakes/pies, etc every day and be the sole

i just finished watching it and i don't even know what i was expecting.

There's something about this metal guy banging out a solo while interacting with and laughing at his cat that is sorta sexy. Yeah, my mind goes there.

aww. Something is so sweet when big burly men like their cats.

She's Catholic. At least she's consistent, in that she's also against capital punishment.

At least she's consistent, unlike the conservative multitudes who are anti-choice and pro-death penalty. I can maybe, kind of, sort of, respect that position.

Depends on your measure of success. Since her divorce, homegirl has done almost 30 movies (including ones currently in production) had 3 Academy Award nominations and 1 win, and 8 Golden Globe nominations with 2 wins.

I don't think they're holding her pop star past against her so much as they are pointing out her complete and utter lack of apprenticeship or formal training. Fashion design is a craft, and artists like Galliano or McQueen are/were very hands-on at every stage of the design process. Beckham signs off on other people's

Everyone thinks their marriage will be the perfect one that lasts forever.
