Yep yep yep, but frankly I really relish the opportunity to make those comparisons! Imagine being gifted with 2 pieces of media this year about women’s liberation and the badass women who have gotten us where we are.  Bring on more! 

Not so much because while the subject matter is similar, Mrs. America focused on different players in every episode, including Schlafly and her entourage, while this is based solely on Gloria’s book. And while I agree Mrs. America had a stellar cast, I think Julianne Moore is up to the task ;)

I don’t know why this is hitting me so hard. I really feel for his family. Fuck this year. 

Hold on, I read “20 years his senior” which to me, sounds like she’s the older one.

LW, you know you’re still using your ex, right?

I was really hoping Brad Pitt would go the Keanu route with his next girlfriend. Dating someone decades younger in Hollywood is banal. 

A very young Angelina. Thirty years younger than he is. Six years older than his eldest child.

Current RHONY cast from favorite to THE WORST:

This break from constant Jennifer Lawrence news has been really nice. Forgot all about her for a minute there. 

Michelle Visage needs her ass beat for several reasons but her criticism of Chi Chi is chief among them. She is to gay men what Michael Rapaport is to black people. When you’ve spent THAT much time around a community and still manage to do more harm than good, there is no teaching you.

Dorinda came across as very caring and big hearted in her early seasons but she’s clearly been on a downward spiral of sorts for these last two seasons. 

This is a lovely article, and really speaks to how great Chi Chi was, and what aspirational shits RPDR is sometimes. As a total outsider to the art world, i think it does very often prize access over talent. One of the reasons I love drag is that it questions everything, reflects pop culture and turns it on it’s head.…

Dorinda has been my favorite since Heather left, but it’s been hard for me to justify this season. It’s not good for her. I side with Sonja, who says that Dorinda needs to be shown some grace because she’s clearly in deep pain, but it’s also hard when Dorinda shows no grace. I hate it if she’s been fired instead of…

“six to eight”!! What?
I am so sorry to be laughing.
I suggest they just count the heads, so accuracy can be established.

Thank you for all of the above! I read a whole bunch of books on the Peterson case (might have been, well whaddya know, 6-8 :), and even the ones arguing against Scott’s guilt managed to reinforce my absolute conviction that he did it. The books written by Laci’s mom, Scott’s half-sister, and Amber Frey were…

It is amazing to me that no matter how heinous and obvious a crime, there will always be people who insist the perp is innocent because “yeah but yeah but yeah but...”

They should just sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. California has not executed anyone since 2006, has had a moratorium since 2019, and will probably be one of the next states to get rid of the death penalty.

It’s fascinating to me that when white people start wearing something, it’s upscale and reminiscent of privilege, but when my grandmother wore the exact same garment at a fraction of the price, she was just an old lady wearing a house dress.

Your description of housecoat sounds much like the 1960s-1980s Soviet homewear staple, a cotton button-down dress (tie belt optional) in a loud print, known as халат in Russian. The contemporary versions come with zippers and I think stretchier fabrics. My mother (in her 60s now) still wears them sometimes, but the…

I’ve been wearing what my grandmother would call a housecoat.  She wore the full range of underwear underneath hers -- bra, girdle, stockings, slip, etc., along with the shoes she was going to wear that day unless they were really high heels -- so basically, everything but her actual dress (she only wore dresses until…
