It kills me how maybe fourteen people/groups are dressed in a way that evokes country music, at a country music awards show. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised, because most of it doesn’t sound like country music, either. Also, getting a kick of how the couple of black artists here are doing a much better job of it than…

This is the third time that quote has been referenced this week in my world! While it is theoretically true, spending a huge chunk of change on something does not guarantee that it is well-made, or will fit properly, or be comfortable. Still, more of a chance than cheap shoes.

I am 63 and wear Docs, but unfortunately most of them are way too heavy to be worn comfortably by hags like me any more. I refuse to give up my Japanese tattoo print ones, though.

That’s true, I wasn’t thinking about these having to be ONLY teenage fads, but there must have been teenaged malcontents aping their style.

And you are right! Somehow I forgot about Juli Lynne Charlot, who was definitely a cool girl! And that drunk mouse in the martini glass is fantastic.

So the Influencers’ livelihood is suffering? I don’t have a problem with that. Get a real job.

Well, thank you for the spoilers. I wasn’t going to see this anyways, but this really guarantees it, just in case some unlikely scenario should come up where it might look like a less terrible choice than something else.

These look to me like pretty mainstream categories. The 50s had the Beats, which gave way to Beatniks. They did not wear poodle skirts.

Your history book needs to go back further than the 1940s. The first cool girls were the Flappers. 

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Damn, I’d been noticing over the last few months that there was less and less to read here, so I’d been checking less often, but I didn’t realize how intentional it was. So sad- I’ve been a reader since Gawker/Defamer days.

Children are expected to be awful sometimes, because they haven’t learned how to suck it up and control their behavior, and are too young to be able to have a handle on it yet. Grown men, on the other hand...

And paté made from regular ‘ol goose liver isn’t half bad, either. (The phrase “ain’t chopped liver, either” was so, so tempting, but of course it IS chopped liver)

Was it maybe misfiled? I see it as posted on The Muse, which is where it belongs, not Jez Investigates. And all the Spanfeller comments are confusing me. I think there was some kind of error, possibly corrected now.

That is some terrible Photoshopping though. With all the resources at their disposal, why use such an awful image? My dead Gramdma can do a more convincing photocomposite.

Wow, I had no idea this existed. They didn’t have them when I was a kid, but I remember in Fourth Grade, some of the girls made flea-circus-sized tiny houses out of the kind of round metal containers that gourmet European pastilles came in, for some kind of invisible tiny creatures the popular girls were miraculously…

. Poor Stormi and her sad little face. I wonder when her mom will start sending her to the plastic surgeon so the kid will look more like Kylie does after all the remodeling. She is doomed.

What the heck is that? She came as a bottle of silver glitter? I’m pretty disappointed, honestly.

If you were Huffman’s close personal friend, you’d probably know that she’s married to William H. Macy, not Willem Dafoe.

I think these kids could benefit from being chased around by tigers for a couple of weeks; it might help them get their priorities better in order. Too much free time.
