This is the type of solid recruiting of sociopaths that will solidify VA Tech as “The Interstate 81 Ivy”

I cannot imagine the pain of losing literally the coolest dad in the world at 15 years old. Of course he took care of his daughter and the people he cared about. Of course he did. What a beautiful man.

Also insinuating that Bowie is misogynistic for making her wait makes me want to punch this stupid commenter.

Know what I notice? There are zero online stories or rag picture spreads of this kid. Even photos of her are rare - and those that show up look years old - she’s nowhere near 15 in them. That is no mean feat - particularly living in NYC. Clearly, this teen is being (successfully!) guided and taught how to negotiate…

The son is 44 years old and has an established career as a Hollywood film director.

I have a feeling that Duncan’s (Zowie) young life was probably tumultuous and the nanny probably played a big part in raising him. It’s really nice that David honored that.

Also his daughter is the child of a world famous musician and supermodel, and I don’t recall ever seeing a picture of even the back of her head, even since his passing. That’s masterful work in this day and age.

Any excuse to post a Bowie gif I will take.

This is pretty standard. It’s to ensure the kid doesn’t just just laze around for the rest of their life. Waiting till 25 makes it more likely they’ll finish college and maybe get a job or find something to do with their life other than live off their father’s money.

Because 15-year-olds shouldn’t have 12 million dollars.

Probably to give her time to prepare to be responsible with it.

The gifts to the nanny and the assistant are even more evidence that David Robert Jones was a oner in the best possible way.

Mommas don’t let your babies play football as babies, either. This case is important because it shows that it’s not necessarily a long career in the NFL that does it — the damage done when playing peewee, high school, and college count, but no one talks about it. Scary shit.

I’ve met him and the teeth (and his diction) lend him a serious air of aristocracy. You expect him to whip out a cane and a monocle.

I’m so glad that a large number of people are acknowledging that the diversity problem Hollywood has is deeply ingrained in the fundamental structure of the industry. It’s not just about the hiring of actors, it’s the hiring of directors, screenwriters, producers, DPs, editors, sound editors, sound mixers, composers,…

Not really. She’s always been fairly incoherent and unable to respond to basic questions or form complete sentences when left to her own devices. McCain’s campaign desperately tried to give her written points that she should not stray from, and she did much better when she was on script, but otherwise, this is a…

She used to be more “managed”. She had coaches, did the same stump speeches over and over, had consultants, the works. That takes a ton of the edge off of her.

What Margiebonz said. Also, back when she was a big shot she had a huge team of handlers that probably prepped her for hours for something like this. Nowadays, she’s most likely just wingin’ it and this is her in her natural state.

Maybe, but you need to remember that during her run with McCain she was receiving training on speaking and speeches written by the best people money can buy.
