AND it's lazy! I felt like it was all the same makeup with varying degrees of how hard they pushed down on the brush.

Aaaah. I am a historian, 20th century beauty is one of my specialty areas, and this gives me HIVES. It's not even remotely accurate. It's more like a makeup artist's vague modern take on decades past. Pretty, but NO.

Decca was a real wit too, so The Anerican Way of Death is a delight to read.

Jessica Mitford convinced me of that a long, long time ago.

Mine too. As soon as I saw the Kim K "champagne glass" pic, Miss Baartman came to mind.

This is a beautifully written piece, and I learned a lot about the topic (I'd often read Saartje was a slave).

de nada, you were working for your freedom fries.

where is A Room With A View? I love that movie so very much. I forced my husband to watch after he inflicted Anchorman in me, and he fell asleep only to wake up at the romping peen scene.

I love you for saying this. Look, this Ghomeshi guy is surely a creep and probably a rapist, but for the love of pete, I don't need to hear the phrase "experienced kinkster and professional dominatrix" twice in as many paragraphs. (And "kinkster"? Really?)

11 years later, that blank stare makes a bit more sense.

Any Deity who controlled entry to Heaven on the basis of who believed in Him is a total egotistical @$$hole, and I would have no wish to spend eternity fawning in His presence.

The issue for me is that the God that would direct this situation would be such an amoral loathsome one that I wouldn't necessarily want to be in His Pro-Genocide Paradise. Seriously... what is the point of prioritizing blind faith if you're going to show up with massive proof. If that God really wanted people to…

I'm thinking that Bette's army will be MUCH rougher trade than Barbra's.

Characterizing all Christians as young Earth creationists is vastly more anti-Christian than anything in this article.

Any Christian worth their weight in salt would know that the Earth is not 6,000 years old.

Sincerely,

Thank you. Well said. I'm an Episcopalian, and as Robin Williams put it, you don't have to check your brain at the door. Whereas Mr. Cameron ...

Low-hanging fruit.

To be fair, some christians and creationists are just asking to be ridiculed.
