YES!!! She is so amazing as that giggly chambermaid, thank you so much for the memory jog!

Yes! And I forgot about SJP’s early work in Firstborn. Seriously, that movie is like “darkside Mr. Mom”—soo scary and too real for children of divorce!!

Cynthia Nixon was also the prettiest yet utterly goofy teen actress. She was brilliant in Little Darlings (a kind of gross and classic-1970s-problematic film in retrospect, but Nixon was such a comedic scene-stealer in it), plus she was in a bunch of Afterschool Specials, so mad respect for that.

Willie Garson’s dick move ... it is like Gunther coming for Monica for not wanting to make a third Friends movie. Of course he wants a paycheck—he’s done nothing else with his life but be Stanford!

That’s exactly what I was thinking of!

LOL. Also, I just looked it up, and Cattrall was replaced in Mannequin 2 by Kristy Swanson, aka OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I’m sure Kristy’s not too busy rn, maybe she can play Samantha Jones in SATC Eleventy Million: Whine Hard with a Vengence.

“Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.”

SJP had all this amazing goodwill from being SanDeE*, or her adorable turn in First Wives Club, or Square Pegs or Footloose or the brilliant Girls Just Want to Have Fun (with baby Shannen Doherty, and Helen Hunt dressed like the lost 6th member of DEVO), and she just ruined it by believing the Carrie hype. Unlike most…

Which is soooo dumb, I mean Cattrall out of all of these women was known as a a beauty, she literally and very famously played a mannequin FFS, so what if she’s a bit older, she’s still the classic model type among that cast. Ugh, I know Kristin and Cynthia probably want no part of this side-taking silliness either.…

Yeah, I can’t really argue with that. :(

I read Beverly’s memoir, because I love her (also, if a model writes a book, I read it), and I do know models have it tough. Although honestly, what Bev endured with her powerful first husband, and a terrible drug habit, and the custody battle for her daughter made me understand why she was so fearless when going up…

I do not. And I have spent as much time around gay men as straight ones over the course of my life. Gay male misogynists say awful things that really hurt your feelings. Straight male misogynists are actually dangerous.

Maybe you should try looking at her standing next to actual tall models in the new Wang campaign shot by Juergen Teller and get back to me

I didn’t say anything about Gigi’s walk.

Models are routinely given extra inches (or cms) on their comp cards (and the too-tall girls have inches taken off). Kate was/is 5'6" but her proportions and face made it so it didn’t matter (also, she ushered in a completely new/controversial era of beauty—she’s Kate the fucking Great). I’m always amazed at how many…

I know “meritocracy” is a weird way to put it—it’s not like you can persevere your way into being 5'11" (believe me, my 5'6.5" self would have done anything to get that tall), but modeling was fair in the way that a winning random-number lottery ticket is fair. Some girls and guys are just born to be high-fashion…

Of course it wasn’t a 100-percent meritocracy (and I get how weird it is to call what is basically a youth- and beauty-driven contest a meritocracy), but in previous eras, when girls from rich families were fast-tracked as models, they actually met the physical requirements of high-fashion models. Marisa Berenson or…

I know what you’re saying, because I’ve encountered some serious woman-hating gay men in my life, but do they outnumber the straight dudes with no respect for women? And do these woman-hating gay men have the collective power to oppress women in the same way that straight ones do? Rose bluntly said that gay men are mor…

Milo is not representative of gay men any more than Ann Coulter is representative of straight women.

I love Janice though. I’ve read all her memoirs. She’s been through some serious shit. (Really terrible shit, like her dad molested both her and her sister and that’s how she got on the path of self-medicating.) And she is a legendary model. If I ever ran into Janice, it would probably be on the street when we were…
