But 1990s MTV was anything but boring. 

After a certain point, it’s not so much about self loathing or insecurity as it is that an unpracticed person’s posed smile just looks awkward.

As someone who also went through a period without dental insurance where she was not crazy about her teeth, I can attest that not smiling can remain a habit even after getting them fixed. Money can be a quick fix for your appearance, but it can’t fix your mind.

I know! Poor King/Rufus. I wish I’d been there to give him scritches and tell him not to listen to the mean people. He's a good boy, yes he is. 

Why the pit bull bias? They too are smart, loving, loyal dogs when raised in good homes. I’ve known quite a few wonderful pits. They used to be called the nanny dogs before their reputation was ruined by abusive dog fighting rings.

Because she’s embarrassed by her teeth.

I feel like if someone else has said this, it’d be received very differently.

Yeah, if you glance at her IG, you can see she’s capable of smiling. She just does it when she wants to. 

Knowing the fashion industry, it’s honestly not all that surprising. It’s peopled predominantly by white women and gay white men, including a whole mess of Europeans who just don’t “get” the American sensitivity to race issues.

Right. They went specifically hunting for Richard Speck, not just any ol' white dude they could beat up by proxy. 

But Odette’s body appeared to dressed in plainclothes, not the Unwoman uniform. Isn’t more likely that she died before reaching the Colonies?

Did you read the whole thing on her blog? It’s in all caps and it kind of rambles in parts. I don’t want to judge her because it’s all highly emotionally charged content, and I can sense a sort of alchemy at work —an effort to transform her pain into power. I absolutely respect that.

I don’t know about the legal angle, but I’m my friend group’s designated Emotional Rant Editor, and having read the entire screed on her site, I really wish she had come to me first.

From the facts at hand, I don’t see how they could be held complicit for anything. The precedent would open up a massive can of worms. All these girls really did is show up, look sexy on a yacht, get bitten by wild pigs, and post an Instagram. The subpoenas are more for their agencies than the women themselves and…

If he’d have been sexually assaulted by a woman, they’d be all over it with both condemnations for her and jokes about him.
