It makes me so sad that there were probably so many bubbly JVNs in the 80s and early 90s who got the same news at 25 and didn't live to see 30. Thank goodness (science) for HIV/AIDS research. Read more

There are more important things than being smart, like being nice, kind, strong, and standing up to bullshit. She has many other important qualities in spades. Read more
I was going to go with the old “I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!” drug PSA, but does that still work if the parent (UK) is learning from the child (US)?

Let me tl:dr the article for you: Read more
I am not an Anna Wintour fan, but this is epic level shade. She doesn’t even mention Melania, all she talks about is Michelle Obama and her style. To me, that’s worse than if Anna called Melania a tasteless harpy. Read more
She’s using her natural gifts for the greater good here :) I listened to the audio and died when the interviewer asked if she would help T with his sartorial issues and she said, “I think he is unlikely to call”. She avoided even referencing the names of the current first family. It’s truly masterful. Read more
I really, really do want to silence him, though. Read more
So many people are outraged either way and that is interesting to me. For some reason people think that other humans lives are their domain. Read more
Yeah, while I’m not super tuned-in to the art community, I’m not completely oblivious, and I’ve never heard of Sarley. That said, I’ve seen this imagery a LOT. It’s a very *obvious* metaphor, but it is neither new nor original. Read more
Definitely self conscious. But don’t worry. You can fix it. Buy products. Then you will be loved. I am your friend. I give good advice. Buy products. Then you will be lovable. I care for you. I do not judge your lack of pulp. But I want you to feel confident. That is impossible with no pulp, and also no seeds. Don’t… Read more
I remember seeing kids do this in middle school back in the late 80's and early 90's. Read more
This is the problem with the democratization of art via social media: The audience (not to mention the artist) isn’t plugged in enough to recognize photogenic cliches for the uninspired undergraduate underclassman work that they are. Read more
Right? Sarley’s portfolio only goes back three or four years, but I love how she thinks she’s the first person ever to fingerbang fruit and call it art. Read more
her work has been written about extensively, everywhere from Cosmopolitan to GQ. Read more
I did EXACTLY the same thing in college for a photography assignment on sex, 1997. It was lazy on my part and got graded accordingly. This has been done endlessly and is very unoriginal on everyone’s part.

I’ve seen A LOT of fruit-sex analogy in art, dating back well before this artist’s oeuvre.

I’m not sure whether to feel empowered, or self-conscious about the lack of seeds and pulp in my juice.
