I see. Allow me to shamefully exit this train of thought, then. But know your genetics impress the masses.

Yes— and 12.

I guess that the person who came up with this idea never saw “Piss Christ”. Can you imagine going to a wedding with a centerpiece that evokes _that_?

Shades of Robert Mapplethorpe...

Larssen’s unfinished Manuscript is stuck in a legal dispute between Larssen’s domestic partner and his brothers. So the brothers got a ghostwriter to write a completely original story.

Actually, you know what would be a much better piece of marketing? Let’s have them tattoo Bill Cosby with this

Lisbeth Salander, the highly unlikable protagonist

I literally cannot watch Seinfeld anymore. It was me and my sister’s favorite show (how that happened, as we were two black chicks in Arkansas, I don’t know), but when we were in NY this weekend, there were advertisements ALL OVER the joint for Seinfeld. All I think of is Michael Richards’ rant. And now, even Jerry is…

Especially because Briana has been a part of the show for all the seasons. Also, when Vicki calls her brother, she’s on her cell at Shannon’s with great reception and they’re on speaker. Most of Vicki’s extended family has been on the show for a while, they probably all know how the phone thing works and I’m sure…

I think you’re on the right track, but my guess is that it was Vicki’s daughter Brianna who suggested a landline for privacy purposes. She strikes me as a person with the human decency/common sense/dignity/humanity to not want the conversation played out in public. “Mom, I have to tell you something. Call me ASAP from…

Good call out - her daughter knows that the show records phone conversations while filming, so I’m sure she texted her and said to call her ASAP. I doubt she thought this would be on film at all and was probably trying to avoid her mom going through that...

I think they must agree with Bravo to have their conversations openly. So, my guess is that she knew it wasn’t good and didn’t want the conversation recorded. They always have their phone conversations with their cell phones on speaker, but I got the feeling that Vicki didn’t want whatever the news was to be captured…

AH. I missed that. Thanks!

The oddest thing about the moment to me was that it did absolutely nothing to make Vicki seem more human or like a better person. She kept wailing about herself the whole time. I know we all react differently to grief and the sudden shock of someone’s death, but her reaction seemed over-the-top Vicki-like to me. All…

Yeah, I hate Jenelle and honestly a lot of her behavior and even her affect seem sociopathic, but really when I look at her I feel like she’s just too dumb and self absorbed to experience strong emotions or care about something outside of herself (because good god can she melt down over even the smallest perceived…

CUPCAKES and CASHMERE????????? UGH. Fuck me.

Um, what? No LOL here. Size 8 is skinny.

That’s cool and all, but in the past, idk, century or so Humanism has applied to secular organization. People are saying “humanism” because they saw the “ism”, decided it was a foil of feminism that could be used to say “equality for all people” and started throwing it around without reading two words about what…

For the same reason people like veal, or caviar, etc. Baby food is better I guess.
