“I’m saying she’s playing the game in a very political, calculated way” Yes, which is a smart way to play the game. Also, one can be both nice and calculated about how to play the game. I see nothing wrong or disingenuous about it. No offense, but I feel like you’re bending over backwards to find a fault.

I dont disagree with you, but like I said, my comment is within the context of wanting to have a wedding. If you want a wedding, this is the deal. Thats it. Its like anything else in this world; if you have a passion for sports cars, then thats what you should invest in. I dont believe in passing judgement on what…

Damn, 20K for a down payment on a townhouse really makes me question living in NYC, ha!

I’m being informative. I’m not here saying everyone has 20K, because that would be presumptuous. I’m speaking in the context of people who choose to have a wedding and want to find an “affordable” way. And again, please keep in mind I’m talking about NYC, where most people spend 40K and up on a wedding. I’m sure my…

Another note: the author mentions a 200 guest count. Of course that wedding will be expensive - feeding & providing alcohol for 200 people is very expensive, no matter the context!

20K isnt a lot for a wedding in NYC. If we lived elsewhere, I guarantee I could have made that same wedding happen for half the money.

Not for a wedding in NYC.

Wow really? My corgi is submissive as hell, and he’s usually the one that gets attacked at my local dog park.

The only people who complain about wedding costs are the people who have a ridiculous guest count, want a ridiculously fancy cake, spend 5k on wedding dress....

As a straight-ish married woman, I have to say, Taraji is a ridiculously sexy woman. I cant pinpoint exactly what it is - maybe her bedroom eyes? - but she’s just so alluring.

These are the sort of tips I need more in my life, thank you.

I dont know how this is possible but Ricky Martin is still fine as hell, even after all these years. Bless that man.

She’s an escort for billionaire dubai dudes. Sounds crazy but its really not. Its a well known “business” out there.

Assuming that you believe the first quote would be acceptable, I have to ask: how does one act like a whore and how does that demean oneself? There’s this old patriarchal idea that a woman’s sex life is tied to their value or self respect, which should be thrown away in the trash where it belongs.

This reminds me of that time that Zoe Saldana got a lot of shit for portraying Nina Simone in that movie a few years ago. While I agree they could have cast someone darker and with less euro features to better portray Nina physically, a lot of the hate fell on Zoe when I think it should have been directed towards the…

word the fuck up. I forgot where I heard/read this, but someone from in the hip hop industry once said, “you know you made it (as a rap star) once your video girls are white” - and its true! compare your favorite rap star’s old music videos to his new ones... the proof is right there.

Excuse my french, but fuck the church.

I’ve always wondered the same thing. If I was insanely rich, I can see myself getting a swanky penthouse with a few guest rooms for friends to crash, but other than that I cant wrap my mind on having that much excess and never even using it. But then again, I’m poor, so what do I know?

“Are no experiences really better than good and bad experiences?”

Yup, I dismissed the troll. I had a good chuckle though.
