Clearly it will be mostly Beck music videos and reruns of My Name is Earl. Maybe some Alvin and the Chipmunks in the afternoon for the kids.

I mean, Barbie was my first word as a child and my absolute favorite toy to play with—still consider my feminist cred to be largely intact. I’m probably going to buy myself the Katherine Johnson one!

I have mixed feelings about this. From observing my daughters playing with their dolls, it always seemed that the dolls’ anonymity led to creative re-designing interactions. I think that giving a doll a specific persona works against that—what are you going to do, dress Frida as a snowboarder? On the other hand, my…

For those that don’t understand the big deal about her unibrow: She made a huge point in purposefully emphasizing her facial hair because she despised western beauty standards. Erasing that is erasing a large and very important part of who Frida was, as a person.

It’s also kind of crappy they’re completely ignoring the…

It looks like Mattel had unique face molds and a variety of body molds for the Role Model dolls. Check out Ashley Graham’s.

This is Frida Kahlo as she saw herself. Note the lack of eyebrow shaving. Note the lack of upper lip waxing or bleaching. Note the look of “I don’t give a fuck about your beauty standards”. This “Barbie doll” version of her is an abomination.

Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.

She is right about lesbians being less visible, but I think this passage explains better why drag queens are more captivating: “Performing femininity is arguably seen as more exciting than masculinity, in large part because people can’t conceptualize masculinity as being a performance. When we think of what it means…

I personally do not under value lesbians in society, but I just don’t find their drag as interesting to look at. In the end, drag is a show - and if its something that isn’t visually or emotionally captivating to me I am going to zone out or not go.

You’re right. I think what makes drag queens more captivating is that hyper-femininity comes with lots of ornamentation, whereas what is hyper-masculinity? Aggression and musculature? Violence? I mean, that’s a tough act to make palatable.

I am ready to be shunned away into the depths of internet hell for this one but...

No, but a giant, dying orangutan is.

Well T-Swizzle does own two private jets so putting a body on one to courier a track cross-country is well within her wheelhouse.

Because all of the people you mentioned, just like everyone in show business, are in it to make money first and foremost. That’s not an insult or judgement of them; it’s just reality. People who work their asses off to become successful and then finally do become successful tend to want to use every opportunity they…

If only our government took national security as seriously as TSwift takes her music’s security.

On the one hand, I get it, it’s your art, you want it released in a certain time frame. On the other hand, flying a person with an ipad to San Francisco and back to play one song, seems like a real waste of resources.

Correction, and I hate that I know this much to point out the correction: they have sex in a field or something, that of course THEY OWN, and afterwards he feels her belly and the baby kicking, and he’s like, ooh! she likes sex already.

In what possible way does he not seem like the kind of guy who would give her an infection deliberately as some kind of “sexy” act of possession?

She shouldn’t put ice cream in her vagina, she could get an infection.

I’m in Boston. Pop stations here may have lower standards. I know that whatever Pandora station the restaurant on the bottom floor of my office building uses played it WAY too much.
