NO. STEP AWAY FROM THE ELITISM. (Although the ethics evaluation isn't a bad idea.)

That's easy. Female minorities.

And not just for Uncanny Valley reasons; in life, we know that she was a devoted wearer of and spokesperson for Chanel No. 5.

3.5 stars... do you happen to remember which rating system?

Fine dining restaurants and some smaller places (the type that are family owned or similar) do serve staff meals in the US - it's not unknown in the industry, but exceedingly rare, and certainly not something the sort of chain restaurants that dominate the restaurant culture here would do.

Whenever you scan in pages for these, there's always highlighting. Do they come pre-highlighted, or is that part of your process of scouring for quotes?

As with everything else with the GOP, it depends on how much disposable income you have. see https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/black… for details.

Actually, if you could also put in a few measurements, or even just tell it a few known garments (brand/style/size) that fit you well it would be really easy to program the avatar.

Can I just say thanks for your overall tone and general awesomeness in this discussion? It is so nice to have a thread full of solidarity between plus size, petite, and straight-size women, without anyone being dismissive of anyone else's struggles, and I really think that's down to your modship and attitude.

No, I love eShakti, too. I don't *look* strange, but I'm a little too tall, a lot too busty, and the weight that should be in my hips is nestled squarely in my belly-area. It's hard to find a nice dress when the three measurements you're supposed to go by put you in different sizes, and they're not even next to each…

Haven't decided yet. Clearly the support I've been giving artist/activists like DJ Cavem hasn't been enough, and clearly my outrage alone isn't going to stop this kind of profiteering.

That'd be Jerry Jemmott - a legend in his own right, for sure. It's glorious to see this group performing together.

That documentary is badass. It's on Netflix if anyone hasn't heard of it/watched it. Recommended.

I'm not a vegan either; I'm an avid hip-hop fan. Veganism and conscious consumption in general are huge components of the progressive hip-hop community, and have been for decades. (I posted a link to a list downthread, but I can compile a longer one.) As you might guess, most of the major artists are black. Similarly,…

You're absolutely right that there are way more immediately dangerous issues going on than yet another instance of white people using black tropes as marketing gimmicks.

For me, I'm upset because there are black vegans who have been unwillingly branded as "thugs" who have NOT been given book deals after years of living and promoting a vegan lifestyle, despite immense talent and excellent recipes.

You don't have to be upset.

*ahem* What's even worse is that there is an actual vegan/vegetarian movement among the socially-conscious hip-hop community and has been for motherfucking decades.

Also us. Mr C0c0c0 maintains that I initiated (which, frankly, IS the typical order of things), but as far as I know I woke up to very welcome groping.

Ok so. I read stories like yours and all I can think at each new, harrowing bullet point is HISTORICALLY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END. A GRUESOME, HORRIBLE END FOR A LOVELY, FUNNY, WONDERFUL PERSON.

Good god, no wonder marriage and sex were so terrifying if this was a possibility. No wonder birth control is so…
