They’re targeted at people with money or are upwardly mobile enough to be able to be preoccupied with toxins. Why are you making it into a race argument?

Totally, and I didn’t mean to be snooty to you. Just remnants of the OP silliness still stinking up my comment mood.

Huh. Mexican grandparent, grew up in Mexican immigrant heavy LA/SoCal...I don’t presume to know how she feels about her heritage but that doesn’t seem too distant.

Isn't she Hispanic?

I came to the comments just to see if I was alone in thinking that he’s beyond untalented and beyond annoying.

I think knowledge of how many angels and variations on how it could be shot is exactly why he was asking. I don’t doubt that the exec was probably a bro who was afraid of vaginas but ...the guy makes movies for a living. He knows the director he hired isn’t going to give them porn. He would be asking the same…

I love it. I have to say, I do a lot of Kundalini (which is different, I know, but it’s a lot of ‘do this to get this result’) and I don’t know how or why it works but it works. Physically, mentally, the stuff that “comes” to me as a result. It’s amazing and has made me see the invisible world and nature in a…

I really hope you're telling the truth. I love the idea of this kind of power.

I once worked with someone who TOTALLY seriously said the following:

That’s very similar to entertainment as well, at least traditional theatrical films and traditional distribution platforms. It’s sad. I’m curious if someone in the publishing world would have a similar take.

I’m going to decline anything further on this convo with you. We are reading the op’s comment differently.

“This is sad”

“This is sad" is a very unfair statement in my opinion but you do you and I'll do me.

Or maybe this is something she experienced and she is dealing with it in a way that works for her? Having an opinion on someone's healing process after a drugging and rape episode is....strange. You're not in her shoes.

I think you’re right. Seeing as ballets origins are tooted in Italian and French Courtier life, whitewashing isn't the right word.

Really? She could not have looked less like the others on stage every time I've seen her live.

I’ve seen her on stage. Shes jarringly different in her look - thicker muscles, breast, hips. A more athletic style. She’s also jarringly talented and has star quality. There are more talented dancers at ABT but she has “it.”

I dunno. That song is like the recording artist version of the annoying couples on facebook who are like, “to my man: you are my everything, thank you SO much for all you do (you know what I mean;)I love you so much and omg am the luckiest woman alive xxoo thx for the vickies secret babes.” And then they're over…

As a non lawyer, I didn’t get that impression. I assumed, rightly or wrongly, that her husband took her to the cleaners (I’m sure she has family money) and she had to get a job. Los Angeles is a very expensive place to live and raise kids (I live here).

This is one of many reasons I’ve never fully accepted Timberlake.
