Amen. Spent (parents spent actually) crazy money on wedding number one and unfortunately separated just over a year later. Am now engaged for the second time and we are planning a tiny wedding. Tiny.

I'm not convinced they have. She's lost some weight this year.

There isn't a dark black person in America that hasn't wished that. Especially seeing how much better mixed race and lighter skinned folk get treated and respected on account of the lighter skin.

I didn't know Eve made a sex tape back in the day. I imagine it wasn't talked about all that much? Also, as far as I'm aware, people respect her. So it didn't harm her career...

I love her too. I think she's great. Not perfect obviously, but no one is. I think the fact that she is banging the feminist drum is pretty cool. I hope more female pop stars take up the cause.

I'm not convinced it's photoshopped either. She just has very toned thighs that have a concave appearance in the middle. Some people are just built that way.

Say it ain't so! Jesus!

The problem is that she appears in movies that are otherwise for me and making offensive remarks in magazines that are mostly for me. As such, I she annoys me.

Dat mouf

"I get fed up with having to deal with the question of why are models thin, that sort of bores me."

European standards of beauty is a motherfucker.

She is SO brave to discuss this. Hair is such a fraught issue for all of us, but if you have a curlier afro type style naturally, there is a whole lotta other baggage that comes along with it. So glad that the tendency nowadays is to talk more honestly about all of the things we do to 'beautify' ourselves and the…

Agreed.

Actually I think the character from The Wire was staged to look like he accidentally killed himself whilst engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation. And I think that door knobs and low hanging things like that are often used for that.

Ah. Okay. Maybe I was a bit hasty in calling London stupid... Thank you.

I CAN'T SEE THE VIDEO BECAUSE I LIVE IN STUPID LONDON! :(

From what I have seen people are lauding Lupita because on top of being a phenomenal actress who has a lovely personality and a wonderful way with words, she is beautiful and wears clothes well.

I've said same about allies. But that's not the point. She actually did speak out, and what she said sounded dismissive. Like slavery is nobodies business but people of colour. When quite frankly the thing about films like 12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club is that they shine a light on not just how damaging it…

Maybe there is a slight possibility Kat didn't want to assert an opinion on 12 years because she rather allow POCs the forum to speak, not because she doesn't care.

I don't have strong opinions (or any opinions) on 12 Years a Slave, I am not a person of color. Not my place.
