I wish I could have your optimism. I hear too many people saying ‘why didn’t she report it at the time?’ ‘Women back then liked a bit of flirting, not like now’ ‘it’s not like they were *rape* raped. It was only a sexual assualt’

I take issue with the men who quickly determine whether you are a whore or whore-like based on their little complexes.

During the same scene, a boy said outloud to his mom, “See? I told you it would happen!”

The Bob Dylan interview in 1987 that broke my freshman heart, and every last shred of respect for him. NB, he adulates U2 three lines later in the interview. Bold mine.

I think she looks fabu, with a hint of military to suit her fiance. Very well played, much sleeker than the Duchess (not that I hate the Duchess).

Edited because I was ignorant that Harry is really Henry.

The Douche and Douchess of Michael.

Kate Middleton isn’t a princess, she’s a duchess. Just like Camila. Nobody calls Camila a princess even though she is married to the Prince of Wales.   

You are mistaken: they are still Princesses, they just are not princesses of the blood, and cannot use their first anme after “Princess.” But, they are still princesses.

It’s an abbreviation of her full title: Princess Michael of Kent.

It’s the lesser option actually. Michael’s title means he’s descended from a king but doesn’t have his own title. It’s also one that can’t be shared with his wife, so she’s...like...Ofmichael.

She’s probably already titled, like Lady (later Princess) Diana Spencer, Commoners (like Markle) cannot use the title Princess.

I once prepped a public official to do a late night show (not this one), and every single thing is prepped days in advance and damn near scripted: the anecdotes*, the outfits, the clips, etc. There’s zero room for spontaneity, which is probably why the network shows suck so bad.

I’m old so I sort of have a pretty good idea - and I usually buy one or two things at B&M then buy from the web once I’m sure of the fit. And I am RABID about checking fabric content. If it’s not listed that business won’t get mine.

I am not so much in love with lingerie (although I love a good bra that lifts the weight of my back and shows my waist), but I do like to go topless (or in a silk robe). Sometimes, especially when I was a bigger, it was the only times I felt I looked good. Clothing just didn’t fit and nothing I wore could feel what I…

Same. I love my body and bring naked and having great fun photos taken. There’s nothing to be ashamed of - it’s my body and it is awesome and powerful - why should I cover it up if I don’t want to? Also - nudity is not the same as sexuality. We have fetishisized and sexualized the female body but on its own, it’s not…

It actually looks de rigeuer to me for VF, Vogue, Harpers, etc. Both genders are usually posed looking vaguely sexual, mildly anguished, and somewhere in between dressed and naked for at least one shot. Let’s just stop sexualizing breasts so much. Personally, I would be much happier if boobs were just boobs and not…

A lot of it depends on how and when the performer is asked. It’s one thing to have meeting with a photographer or director you trust, get final approval, sign contracts about what can and can’t be released, etc. It’s quite another to show up to a shoot and be told to take your top off or you’re fired.

I noticed during the PR pole dance for “La La Land” that in the same month, Emma Stone was on the cover of Rolling Stone in a teeny little slip-dress, with one strap hanging off, while Ryan Gosling was on the cover of Esquire, very natty and fully clothed. The examples are everywhere. The picture of Watson is kind of…

Eh, I agree with your general point, but I also disagree. I love the idea of being in various stages of undress with fancy lingerie and accessories. My boobs become prime centerpieces just because they’re awesomely placed magical mountains. It’s not because I want to feel attractive to men as much as it just makes me…
