Yes, the wedding machine is ridiculous. I can’t fault people for getting invested and wanting it to be something special. But there’s nothing really out there offering luxury on a budget, like with a car. People in the wedding industry are all trying to make a buck and it’s a very saturated market, so you can imagine…

It really doesn’t, though. Aside from names, there’s almost zero reference to anyone’s ethnicity. Sure, Venkat Kapoor is probably Indian/South Asian and the dude from JPL is probably Asian as well, but even a name like “Mindy Park” doesn’t make it clear what ethnicity she is.

Given that Halloween is coming up and all sorts of stupid lore about treats laced with tricks will soon full the media, here is a simple trick to detect illicit drugs in your confections:

Matt Damon, stop talking. Just stop.

I feel like LFW is so much more about art than the two others. I’m not saying we don’t see great clothes at the three events, but I feel like London is about art, and NY and Milan more about the clothes industry.

Asians still pissed off for not being included in race discussion.

Or, hell, a place like Japan where a person of Korean descent can be seen as being not truly Japanese generations after their family immigrated. Or go to African countries where tribal differences are seen as enough to discriminate.

I’ve done it before and it didn’t work for me at all. I think it works best for people who don’t have a lot of different tones/hyperpigmentation/scarring.

It’s not British or American. It’s its own thing.

I wear mine long and pointy—almond, but I totally agree re: nail art and colors. I wear nude, red, and Bordeaux. I cringe at shades of blue, even.

I read a few folks on Twitter yesterday talking about how dismissing Kanye West’s “White House aspirations” was rooted in racism.

Yes, far better than I’m capable of, frankly.

I honestly had no idea they still even had a DVD division.

Eh, when we got JujyJunior’s first ultrasound he looked like Mr Burns from The Simpsons. I was half surprised he didn’t come out yellow and tenting his fingers while hissing “excellent.....”

Are you kidding me? The war for political correctness has been won by people who have way to much time on their hands. There are toys for boys and toys for girls. Why is that such a big deal?

Yep. A- = Asian fail.

Not that it’s terribly important, but for some cultural context: for middle-class Torontonians, going up north to cottage country is a yearly ritual in summer. If your family doesn’t have a cottage, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who does. For a lot of kids, visiting friends at their cottages represents, for…

And because I’m a horrible person, my first thoughts were of “Sunset Boulevard.”

Who exactly is surprised by this?
