It is interesting given that few people see her do it, I totally agree. I disagree with Seatosky that being a burlesque dance just requires being hot. There are lots of hot women who would like to be as known as Dita but don't get there because they aren't good enough/haven't branded themselves right. She keeps the…

Her dazzling eyes? Flawless complexion (probably just a lot of makeup but who cares)? Gorgeous body that nears perfection and a wardrobe that I'd kill for? I dunno.

This has to be one of the funniest and most honest conversations I've ever seen on Jezebel. Hooray for you!

I don't know if it had something to do with the idea that her character was part Edith Cummings, golf player and part Josephine Baker, known bisexual entertainer. Jordan Baker sounds an awful like Josephine Baker, but it may have been coincidence.

It looks like only Elizabeth Debicki is really close to the character's age at 22. I know 5 years isn't too off for Tobey or 4 years for Leo, but they could have cast good but slightly younger actors. JGL or James McAvoy for Nick, Mia Wasikowska for Daisy (she played a materialistic young woman before and did it well)…

On a total side note, anybody else think the age difference between the actresses and actors in this movie is kind of annoying? I know that's usually the case but it bothers me more in this instance for some reason. I'm not sure what the age difference was in the book though, between Daisy and Tom/Gatsby or Nick and…

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: People can and will and should have sex with whoever they want, and I'm not going to and don't want to tell people who to have sex with. I just disagree that "socially informed or not, no one has the right to judge." If somebody thinks black women can't be hot because of some…

Okey doke. I thought your burner name was supposed to be a joke but now I see it isn't. If you think black, asian or hispanic men don't have class, you're just ignorant. I'm sorry you think that way.

Actually Ed Helms and the Valentine's date were brunette, nevermind!

On a totally selfish note, I want some eye candy on this show that I can appreciate, and the sandy haired white guys aren't doing it for me. I like Robert Redford in his youth and Daniel Craig but it pretty much stops there. No brunette white guys even? No black men? Come to think of it, there are rarely black men on…

Like the author said, our attraction doesn't always exist in a vacuum. When I say I like doing my makeup and wearing conventionally feminine things, I know that although I may do these things simply because I like them regardless of whether or not a man will see them, I also know that the impetus for my liking girly…

I could see that if she were playing someone who was being conventional to her culture but she does plenty of things that don't seem respected in South Asian cultures. She slept with a prostitute (mistakenly, but still) and then decided to take him to a party with intimate friends. She's just not all that traditional…

Maybe a neck lift? I've noticed something too but I'm not a plastic surgery expert.

I think there are more complicated reasons for not speaking up, like you said. Sometimes I think listening is something that should be celebrated more and not considered passive. If someone just yammers on about some topic without any interest in whether or not anyone else wants to continue talking about it and then…

The title says "gay joke" which makes it seem as if it was meant to be a joke about gay people in general. But yeah, I know people joke about things that make them uncomfortable, just not always unwanted sexual groping. If an in-law was "playing grab ass" with me I'd be pissed off and a little disturbed by it when I…

He could have but I'm not sure why he would joke about it if it made him uncomfortable. But I don't know, anything is possible.

Her fashion sense is so fun. She always does something a little unexpected and pulls it off with confidence.

The reason it annoys me has more to do with the gay stereotype, "You know those gays want to have sex with EVERYONE of the same sex, amirite?" Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's such a horndog that he goes after anybody. I hate those assumptions even if I don't like her dad all that much.

Oh I totally get how these things happen, I've lived in Rochester, Syracuse and Harlem, all places where there is gun violence, though not as much in Harlem as it seems to be in Rochester or Syracuse, but in the summer breakouts happen. I know it's not the same as one mass murderer aiming to kill 19 people, but I…

It's worth stating that all of the women featured are just well proportioned curvy women. If they have bigger hips and thighs, they have small middles. I know I'm a privileged group in terms of certain beauty standards but I'm sick of being told men are fake or caving into fashion norms for finding me attractive. It…
