Jen is Fine.

Those of us of a certain age remember when these people WERE the new, hot young things, and have largely not been terribly fascinated by the newest generation of new, hot young things, and it’s a little jarring to accept that they have moved into Old Guard status.

With all the people getting fillers to plump up their cheekbones, you’d think there would be a procedure that cuts around the lower-face pads and flips them up over the high-cheek pads. Stay tuned!

Aging gracefully generally means having a great plastic surgeon who understands subtlety. And the problem with getting even subtle work is that one can’t necessarily predict how natural the healed, finished result will be. I’ve noticed Helen Mirren’s- always held up as THE ultimate example of “aging gracefully”- lip…

I’m seeing a number of procedures here: lip augmentation, eyelid/eyebrow lift/tuck, etc. 

Like looking like Lenny is a BAD thing???

It may not be Art, but it IS a bunch of very pretty pictures, pretty enough to put a dent in opportunities for human illustrators, a field that has already been badly damaged by the obsolescence of print media in its various forms- magazines, ads, book and album covers. Most illustrations don’t require subtext, as…

I hope this kid gets the help she needs and lives a long, healthy, fulfilling life, unashamed of her sexual orientation, and grows up to be something other than Republican. 

I’m certain Greg is one of them. All the ubiquitous ceramic decapitated head vases, from a local legend about a woman murdering her lover when she discovers he has another secret family, aren’t shown frequently by accident.

If you haven’t seen Ingrid Goes West, give yourself a treat. 

Dominic has no idea how much Lucia has been putting on his tab. He’s said a couple times that they can order a little food, not entire wardrobes from the hotel boutiques that we see them with shopping bags from. He’s going to get a nasty surprise when he checks out.

You’re using the word “rape”, but the LA Times article about this referred to it as “an unwanted kiss”. Which may indeed be considered a sexual assault, but there is a world of difference between the two.

From what I’ve been able to find, you nailed it. Seems like a form letter, and she wigged out and overreacted. Really unfortunate. 

Hollywood has a strong record of rarely casting actual Jews to play Jewish characters. Especially women (see Michelle Williams in The Fabelmans; I can’t imagine a less-Jewish actress). Jewish directors seem to find real Jewish women pretty repulsive. The self-loathing is palpable. I’m a little surprised Tovah Feldshuh…

So I guess this is totally missing the point, but I look at one and see a surreal Barbie doll, and the other looks like a fairly attractive human woman. Am I supposed to be repelled by the ones on the right? Because they just look real to me, while the others look artificial.

God forbid I should defend anything Kanye says or does, but with his last big antisemitic scandal, I wanted to hear exactly what he did/said in the full context of how he did/said it. So I went to the cold, evil heart of it, and watched the Tucker Carlson (shudder) interview with him.

Maybe I’m totally missing your own sarcasm, but Chapelle was being sarcastic here. (It’s hard to tell with text, and I don’t mean to be obtuse)

Yeah, a million dollars for a teardown. The city is overrun by both homeless people and developers who are largely responsible for the huge numbers of homeless, by evicting and demolishing affordable housing and replacing them with $3,000 a month studio apartments in giant complexes that resemble wasp nests and remain…

I don’t think Grandpa Bert is misogynist; he’s just old school in a way that is becoming extinct due to those men also becoming extinct. He thinks he’s being flirtatious and charming, while the women smile tightly while they silently cringe.

Old men have a thing about Old Man Balls. My father had an assortment of jokes where the punchline had something to do with Old Man Balls, usually revolving around one or both of them hanging out of a bathing suit or underwear. Or maybe he just liked saying “testicles”.
