It never occurred to me that she might not be 100% white. I just thought she was a suburban white girl trying to get some street cred by adopting an accent. You know, like an old school Meghan Trainor.

I always assumed it was a combination of growing up with mostly black friends (allegedly) and the influence of the PR machine of the label pushing her into this narrative to make them more money. When, after the first record, she shed that image (for the most part) and had the line about LA Reid making her change who…
I think a lot of this is misplaced....I feel like it was really her record label’s fault. It was the late 90's.....everybody wanted their own Britney Spears, and Pink was tapped to be LaFace’s version. She went in and was told how to look, act, sound, and what to record, and when the time came, she got out and did her…
I think in the book they mention that he grows some sort of facial hair once he’s in Europe after Jo’s rejection. It sounded creepy in the book too.
Oh my gosh, YES. They definitely made the better decision, although his German accent was a little wonky.
I love this movie so much. Its casting is spot-on (Gabriel Byrne is STILL a major crush of mine because of his pitch-perfect performance), the music is stunning, the direction is beautiful, the costumes are great. I always shout-out Trini Alvarado’s lovely and understated performance (and I’m glad she mentioned being…
Hugh was too stunningly beautiful
From 2002 people, 2002.
Something I think is kind of funny is that sometimes Halsey is authentically a dead ringer for the person Pink was pretending to be. I wonder if she has complicated opinions on that.
His father taught him not to regard children until they are old enough to learn the family griftness.
I commend the innovators and disruptors whose first instinct to dealing with social ills is to profit off of them.
#MeToo is for everyone. You’re not co-opting it by sharing your story. It’s for you too. I’m sorry you had to go through this.
No to co-opt the #MeToo movement, but this article applies to me from my time in the military. Assault is perhaps too strong a word for what happened to me, but if I have been a drink or two drunker it certainly would have gone that way. In my case it was wheedling, cajoling, and flattery that turned to disdainful…
One night, while wearing my white nightgown, I returned to bed where my partner was already asleep. He suddenly wakes, screaming in terror at me. It was so sudden and unexpected, I started screaming back at him. For a brief moment we were both in a horror movie. Fun times.
i’ve been fascinated with the woman in white trope ever since traveling to mexico and learning about la llorona. i see her as a symbol of the violence that is done to women, a haunting of the conscience for men in patriarchal societies who know they’ve done something wrong and caused pain, but prefer to keep that pain…
Completely and totally immortal, ignore the cramping.
I had swimmers ear and the prescription drops for five days cost $600. So I assume this will be out of my price range if it ever is released. If making my ear hurt less is that valuable this must be bajillions of value!

That’s the struggle isn’t it. On the upside I’ve heard, and I believe it, that you can tell what a society is fixing by what makes its people angry.
