The other problem on top of fast fashion is the arms race from brands that used to be better quality to make clothes faster and cheaper. I bought the pricier stuff from H&M in the early aughts that lasted 10+ years because it was decent quality. Now, they just don’t sell stuff like that. Same with most mid-range…

Yes! Corsets are probably the most misunderstood garments. It’s long past time they were represented properly in media. A custom corset is a luxurious experience if you’ve got the money to drop on one.

There’s a lot of talk in the comments about “good work” vs “bad work” and I want to just let everyone know that once you start getting face implants and lifts, you can’t just stop OR keep going without it starting to look more and more exaggerated. Madonna is likely working with the best but keeping a 64 year old…

I’ve been waiting too long for an opportunity to make this reference.

A woman is only in her prime when she’s played by in an Oscar-winning-turn by Dame Maggie Smith and is a school teacher with questionable boundaries at an all-girls school in Edinburgh.

And the fact that he’s not just getting people to do things and then goes home and relaxes for a bit. He forced Jessica and who knows how many other people into actual intimate relationships with him, which is just terrifying. It’s one thing for someone to make you throw coffee in my face. It’s another when they force…

There’s a reason some music schools cover Beyonce’s albums as part of coursework.

The first movie is better than it deserves to be because it’s basically “What if Baby and Johnny from Dirty Dancing were the same person? And that person was a totally ripped dude?” I still wouldn’t call it “great.”

What she’s providing to her son is a sanitized version of these things, especially the sex work, to justify her own actions to him.

Except that it wasn’t an apology and she did make a point (point being different than protest). Your memory of what she said and what she actually said seem to be two different things. As I said, plenty of folks when accepting Oscars praise others who were nominated. The difference here is that Adele got very…

You have to be reasonable that Album of Year doesn’t just go to the artist but also everyone credited on the album, so it is not entirely up to Adele to reject the award wholesale. That would mean depriving all of the other people who worked on it, and doing so impulsively since you don’t know beforehand that you’re…

Because the poor track record is sort of inseparable from the issues with institutionalized sexism and racism, it would be nice to have something similar as what happened with the Golden Globes or Oscars where enough people made a big enough stink to push the Grammys to at least put in the minimal effort to do better.…

What most people are talking about when they talk about Beyonce’s self-titled album, Lemonade or Renaissance is influence and innovation. The self-titled album all-but-invented the surprise digital album drop. Since then, most of the top pop artists have taken to doing surprise drops just like this. Lemonade was a…

RE: Anti-Hero backlash

It won’t let me edit it now

White guys from the UK who have won Album of the Year:

Google “IUD baby” and look at the number of pictures where people claimed this ridiculous shit. You mean to tell me an IUD can accidentally perforate or get embedded in your cervix but can just bop around a developing fetus with no ill effects? No. No way. Hoax.

I think it’s the factor where a lot of his movies are pretty good in the beginning but then end really badly, and for enough people it ends being watchable enough that it keeps the residuals coming in. Like the movies come somewhere close enough to cult classic status to make it worthwhile for investment, but aren’t…

It’s sad to think people have to go to those lengths to get dental care. I was also thinking that if you’re a Sheetz employee and something happens like you fall at home and knock out a tooth and you can’t afford to fix it with the dental coverage they provide, it’s nuts to think Sheetz can then make you quit because…

It’s insane to me a company can require someone to “ have and remain with a perfect beautiful warm welcoming smile” if they don’t provide great, affordable dental coverage. How can someone earning a convenience store wage possible afford cosmetic dental work??
