Lingerie party is a thing!?!?

OMG an engagement shower?? WTF is that! That and the post wedding brunch is ridiculous. And the lingerie party too. What is wrong with these people?!

I did know that she was someone in pop music, but that was all.

And don’t forget who was the Secretary of State at the time - that’s right, the Corporate Democratic Whore in Chief herself, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But they might introduce them as “reality star X” or “X, from X Reality Show.” A journalist should write a story that speaks to readers at all levels of awareness of the topic — that was one of the first lessons I learned in journalism school. Identifying her as a “Canadian singer/songwriter” wouldn’t have hurt anyone…

I’m sure they could. Just editing that first sentence to read “In an interview with Rolling Stone published this week, Canadian singer, songwriter, music video director, and record producer Grimes ...” would have cleared up the confusion and made me stop trying to find her first name on one of the references to her.

No, that was me agreeing with you. The author name drops Gruet like it’s this super indie thing (“New Mexican sparkling wine ooh la la”) when my wino dad literally buys it by the case in the Midatlantic suburbs.

They can take two seconds to say who she is. I read the blog a lot and have never seen an article about her. They could literally make someone up, say “Bob” and I’d go “Who’s bob?” and people who have no idea who Bob is would then mock me for not using Google or having knowledge that Bob is the foremost lute player on…

There are times when I really hate being single and alone.

I am currently in the middle of planning a wedding and, by and large, it is not the gigantic struggle that everyone makes it out to be. I say “no” to things I don’t want and pay for the things I do. Revolutionary.

My wedding is in a few months. I no longer want to plan it. I just want to go to a courthouse, eat a bunch of Indian food, and go dancing with some friends.

My attitude reflects my personal life trajectory

I thought weddings were over a few summers ago, then I was invited to 7 last year.* Several of which were second marriages. I already paid to go to your first wedding, I am NOT paying to go to your second, especially since I do not plan on getting married myself (Live in sin 4-eva!)

Perhaps Jezebel could spend 10 seconds writing an introduction of the subject of their articles.

A good article should introduce the subject

I have legitimately never heard of this artist before! That was a scary “huh?!” moment there—glad I’m not alone...:)

Who is “Grimes”?

i’m a feminist, and i recognize “the parlance of our times” includes “whore = someone who sold out to a powerful interest”. a male politician who takes donations from special interests is, by this definition, a whore.

Also, can we stop calling yellow hair ‘blonde’?

I feel like if you chose Taylor as your maid of honor, you’re looking to reap the secondhand benefits of fame for your wedding day. You want your small town relatives to be all abuzz at your celebrity bestie and you definitely want your wedding described in Vogue friggin’ magazine.
