I totally agree with you that Amber made it less white (and also more powerful in her incarnation than in the hands of the originators — as I said, I’m not a Slut Walker and have no personal investment in this). I just find it odd that she always identifies it specifically as “my Slut Walk” and that there’s been no…

Why do you feel sorry for these people though? They have jobs in mainstream media, when thousands of jobs were shed last decade; they can pursue meaningful writing on their own time just like everyone who works to pay the bills.

BUT, as a celebrity, she does have one very useful and in-demand skill: the ability to convince large swaths of people to donate a looooooot of money

I am in the “nope” camp on tomato sandwiches themselves, but I love you Kelly Faircloth for mentioning my darling Harriet the Spy!! (ps. the BOOK, not the movie, FOREVER)

And I feel like Beyonce actually does get called out for things on the regular, whereas Amber really does not. Everyone sort of blindly worships her, I guess because she is hot?

I admit I came to the comments to find this sentiment.

lol, I also disliked Christian a little because my mother became his superfan, and you know those people who take reality competitions super-seriously and totally at face value and get all aggressively “Team __”? That was my mom that year. Every time I tried to point out that Jillian made much more accessible clothing…

Jersey mall sisterhood *fist bump*

Well I am going to argue the efficacy of this campaign, because as you suggest, you cannot compare the celebrity power of Angelina Jolie to that lady who was on Will & Grace (and Ned and Stacy!). I actually like Messing as an actress, but I find it hard to believe that having Debra Messing take a bunch of anonymous,…

Couldn’t she do whatever a noncelebrity charity volunteer would do? Outreach, distribution, building things?

Right, I don’t think Kara would have made this piece if Debra had taken pictures depicting PSI Impact’s bullet points, to provide information about the organization’s purposes. I might actually enjoy that. It’s just a lot of meaningless blather and hashtags alongside people she doesn’t even name.

But couldn’t she just GO and not document it in this cringey self-referential way on Instagram? Helping people without an audience is still helping.

Woman explains Will & Grace to unnamed, skeptical youths.

I just googled that — rude

I think Lindsay should position her book more as memoir/cautionary tale than self-help. I’m always glad to hear that she’s getting her shit together, but she’s not far enough out of the woods to really being doling out advice (not judging her for that either, very few people have both the distance and capability to be…

That’s so funny — when I was younger I spent a few years in the Short Hills vicinity, and I always felt like I had to get all ~dressed up~ just to go buy a frigging pair of tights there, and resenting that would go to the sort of crappy, but non-judgey Livingston Mall instead (never a shortage of malls to choose from…

British fashion folk make me happy; they’re so eccentric and fun. Dawn French and Jane Horrocks give me loife, Mossy looks great, and UK-for-the-day JPG is my main man.

LOL, someone tried that in our neighborhood too — official-seeming “NYPD” warnings about your bike being impounded if you chained it to some place or another. I know the NYPD has its problems, but their notices are mostly spelled correctly and don’t include multiple exclamation points!!!

Exacty, she’s just so suburban. Top personal shopper at the Short Hills Mall? Sure. But top celebrity stylist? Ole girl’s being bitchy to Leslie Jones when her big client is like, Miranda Kerr (no one’s idea of fashionable), and herself seems to be wearing a wig on top of another wig.

Girl, I live here and I hate people who don’t pick up after their dogs as much as the next person, but this is not the solution.
