As a dramatic sop...I agree totally, the cult of the high note is bullshit. Give a contralto Erda’s role from Wagner’s Ring Cycle and it’s magnificent. Give it to a coloratura and you will have a trainwreck. But it’s not Gaga’s range that’s the problem, it’s her technique. She’s got the entire head range to go but…

I thought the same thing. And someone else pointed this out, but remember that cop in NYC that actually got in trouble for shooting someone in a stairwell? He was Asian. So, so far the only cops that have actually seen repercussions are an Asian man and a white woman.

I don’t want to defend this officer in any way, but it sure is surprising the swiftness with which this action has been taken, how quick the condemnation and disavowels came from her own force. Wonder if her being a woman has anything to do with it. The thin blue (male) line.

This is like Liang. She’s a woman so she gets sacrificed.

I’m not sure I like the song, but I’m also not sure why the coach is equating having a higher belt-range with being a better singer. Just because you can sing higher notes louder doesn’t make you objectively sing better than someone with a different range/timbre. Signed, a Bitter Contralto.

Seriously people? Do you not listen to ANY hard rock with female vocalists? ‘Cause that’s how it sounds and it is awesome. I’m kind of impressed that Lady Gaga gave this style a try. Always love people stretching themselves and trying something different. Also, you are doing yourself a major disservice because there…

1) I will do anything Nathan Fillion asks. I will pretend I wasn’t going to vote, and then pretend I did just because he asked! (Who knew he’s an immigrant? Cool.)

ANDREW! IT’S ANDREW!!

the “balancing 1000 things” is what makes me the most mad. I “balance 1000 things” because I know full well that if I don’t take the dry cleaning, book flights for thanksgiving, coordinate w/ my inlaws, book a cat sitter, etc, that shit WONT GET DONE. And it’s not b/c my husband is a loser. He’s just not used to…

Daymakers are idealists, go-getters, and “choreographers” who are able to “balance 1,000 things” well for family, friends and themselves, he said. They also love to host others and are “joiners,” not loners, he said.

I’m guessing the interior of such gowns looks like the architecture of a gothic church, complete with flying buttresses.

Fuck integrity lets get that money!

Dude, if I were the poor sister I would tell bride sister to absolutely take rich sister’s money. Then we could split the cash to go do something awesome just the two of us. And if we’re feeling bitchy we could plaster pics all over Facebook of our great time together. We could even tag mean sister like, “Without Mary…

Wait. The man publicly wrote against the concept of female suffrage? And Trump loves the guy? How is Hillary Clinton not destroying these people?

As a fat person, I would really like to see decent basics. A fucking white button down that doesn’t immediately pop open at my boobs. Jeans that aren’t jeggins- or “mom jeans”. Tee shirts and cardigans that aren’t priced 3 times as much as the skinny version (ahem-Old Navy) Just plain, well tailored clothes. Jesus, is…

This -in tandem with Tim Gunn’s recent critique of the industry’s disdain for plus-size clothing (which is, ultimately, a disdain for plus-size women)- is giving me hope for accessibility in fashion.

I am wearing a light summery type dress with no sleeves right now in my office. I am doing nothing but farting around on Twitter and playing a silly game. I literally shouted at the dogs because they are making me DIE with their hot breath and fuzzy bodies. I cannot imagine being in a crowd, in the heat, trying to…
