Yeah, it's a particularly bad time for that descriptor.

I'm going to a party tonight as Frida Kahlo. My sister lent me a long, flower-print dress and I'm adding a shawl and a necklace. It's just a costume of convenience since I already have similar colouring.

I love bookstores. They can function as library/cafe hybrids and I get to ogle the Moleskine displays.

I guess he finally realized what he had gotten himself into.

Questlove's face when the lyric about coke lines comes on is the best thing ever.

Where does it matter where Aziz was born? The point is they darkened her skin with makeup to make her appear to be a different ethnicity for comedic effect, something decidedly frowned upon due to the history of minstrel shows. It would still be offensive if I, someone of northwest Indian origin, darkened my skin…

It was very accurate, but could have done without the brown face.

I can relate to this so much. I have a younger brother who is developmentally and physically disabled and I...well, unless you're REALLY good friends with me, you don't know he exists. Not because I'm ashamed of anything, but some things are private.

I don't watch it on the CW network, and don't actually watch Vampire Diaries on a television set.

Honestly, I think I prefer the Original family to the stuff in Mystic Falls. Katherine is the only interesting part of that crap.

This is the first I'm hearing of the Vampire Diairies spinoff and I'm STOKED. Adulthood will not stop me from devouring this campy melodrama!

I feel like I need to leave this here.

As much as I scoff at celebrity fragrances, Britney Spears' Curious is pretty nice.

That's because anyone can be prejudiced or xenophobic, but not everyone has the power to oppress based on ethnicity or other minority aspect. Discriminating against someone due to prejudices makes people assholes, regardless of how they identify. But until these groups can create a society where the "target group" is…

Check out Dina Tokio on instagram and youtube. She has a fashion channel geared towards those who want to be trendy, but still follow rules of modesty. I'm not even Muslim...I just like her sense of style.

Fitting over the thighs is the only thing that matters. Belts can fix the rest.

Yeah, it's a little counterintuitive. I DID NOT expect for things to get more blatantly racist after Obama's election.

I never cease to be amused what kind of hateful and ignorant things some people think it's okay to say in public. We (up here in Canada) have our own crazies, but at least they try to mask it.

Use a base and top coat. Also, put the color along the top edge of your nail as well. I takes a bit longer to chip that way.

The same person that initially came to mind.
