How fucked up is it that I relate to this as a slightly out of shape. sexy but not "traditionally" beautiful woman? Meaning how deeply this is felt in our culture, because I'm sure I have more privilege that someone who is objectively "fat" and yet I totally get what she's saying. Look at the backlash against Lena…

Real question here: Are a lot of homeschooled kids raised in super-Christian households? I read somewhere that a lot of homeschoolers are parents who oppose the teaching of evolution or other topics and materials considered inconsistent with religious teachings.

I like this explanation the most.

Oooh you are gonna GET IT. This is Jezebel, sweetheart.

So ODD, no? And the jacket is horrid. What happened?

I think she's just shiny too. Don't understand the drama.

Someone who has no business being in the same place as most of these other people.

At least she's showing off her stunning legs in this one.

I'm pulling for you! Sounds like he really loves and supports you. Congrats on making this happen for yourself. :)

So Jezebel, did you have to go and find the most unflattering photo of Solange (who is beautiful) you could find to illustrate this mess?

HA! You win.

She's actually hotter in some respects.

I'm the same way! I have a few tight girlfriends (and some guys too) and am friendly with some of their friends, but have realized over the years that I'm pretty happy being an oddball introvert and having a close partner. I've known some super dysfunctional groups of "friends" in my youth and still have to deal…

I hear you. I lived in bed stuy before the hipster bars started moving in. It wasn't the worst by far but it was a shitty neighborhood with no good grocery store, people getting shot, awful schools. But there were million dollar condos going up. Insane.

Ooh, explain please.

Oh why didn't I get this?? I got lovesick Jolene too.

I know right? I like her steez. She's very magnetic somehow.

Meow....

Why are YOU so angry about this?

I wasn't outraged, just thought it was odd and frankly it does read a bit Native American regardless of intent. We don't all share the same cultural references. It makes more sense that she would intend a flapper thing given her general thoughtfulness though, I agree.
