Also scissoring while wearing high heels and strip lashes!

they were ALSO often made of mouse fur, as were ladies’ stick-on eyebrows. Frankly surprised mouse fur adhesive brows haven’t made a comeback, tbh.

They used a white model. A white person cannot ever have an afro, and their literal model was a white person.

In very broad strokes, yes, though let me up front say there are about one million people here, most especially including The Hon. Judge Brown, who are more qualified to discuss the nuances of cultural appropriation and hair politics than I am.

That is sage fucking advice right there.

I think you’re asking an honest question, so the honest answer is a white person (e.g., the model they used) cannot by definition have an afro. If it had been “You (Yes You) Can Have Great Rag Curls” it would not have been nearly so big a deal.

>Apparently the freckles (i.e. pigment) were added too

Thoughts in real time:

You know how weird stuff just pops into your head during orgasm? For years, YEARS, I’ve been seeing a particular pair of green Pucci sandals I saw but didn’t buy in 2003. And I don’t even like Pucci.

I know. I was aghast. No, I was several ghasts, all concurrently.

See also: me discovering the “soft rag” Mr Overdrive was keeping in his camera case to clean his lens was actually an Hermès handkerchief I’d been looking for for six months.

I saw him in Equus with Richard Griffiths (RIP) on the West End and it was stunningly well done. I mean I knew RG would be phenomenal, but Radcliffe was shockingly good. And after the curtain call he threw his arms around Griffiths and it was just the most tender, genuine display of affection.

I had one for my birthday! It was SO satisfying, though of course I couldn’t belive it didn’t just fall over before I even had a chance to hit it.

Huh, I haven’t actually seen all that many around here, though they may be selling them in more touristy areas. Want to know the effigy piñata actual locals bought? Arjen Robben, the Dutch footballer who made a hugely blatant dive, got a penalty off it and used that penalty to score the goal that kicked the heroic…

Surely at least James St James and Michael Musto, right?

My grandmother made me wear a menstruation belt IN THE NINETIES. I honestly don’t know how she even found one.

It’s like God gave you Jill Scott, waited a couple years and thought “hmmm, maybe I better balance that shit out.”

Yep, I’ve got one that goes rogue, too. Thelma’s usually pretty well behaved but Louise yearns to be free.

I think the better blatantly broad statement would be to say most of the people who are described as being overweight are also portrayed as vicious and weak-willed (and I’d add hapless to the list, too.) It’s not as blatant as the stuff in Roald Dahl and I’m happy she’s seemed to see the error of her ways, but it’s…

And if I’m not ungreyed after I photoshopped an ibex for you people I just give the fuck up.
